Case Studies Mapping the Flows of Content, Value and Rights across the Public Sector

Case Studies Mapping the Flows of Content, Value and Rights across the Public Sector

This report is an analysis of seven case studies of publicly funded e-content initiatives, which demonstrate the flow of content, value and rights across the respective seven representatives of the Strategic Content Alliance (SCA) sponsors. It is addressed to senior decision makers across public-sector bodies and aims at providing a coherent account of best practices of managing publicly funded e-content. A finding from analysis of the case studies has revealed that all of them, but particularly the digitisation
projects, face problems with respect to the clearance procedures. Using the case studies as reference points, the report also identifies and outlines three models of content and permissions flows. This report also illustrates how identifying and building upon these different modes of copyright management can also contribute to the accomplishment of institutional goals.
