==================================================== MCN Chicago 2007 Friday, 5.15pm-6.30pm IP-SIG Special Event Special presentation and discussion: The PLUS Standards With Professor Jeff Sedlik, President & CEO, PLUS Coalition The PLUS Coalition is an international non-profit organization on a mission to simplify and facilitate the communication of rights information associated with images. In the Coalition, a diverse group of stakeholders and their associations across 26 countries have worked cooperatively to create PLUS, the Picture Licensing Universal System. PLUS is a comprehensive system of image licensing standards that exists as a universal language for the communication of image rights metadata. The Coalition welcomes participation by all individuals, associations and organizations engaged in creating, distributing, using and archiving images. The PLUS standards will allow museums to better manage, preserve and license images. MCN holds a seat on the PLUS Board of Directors (currently filled by Alan Newman), and all institutions are invited to participate in the PLUS Museums Committee.
