ReCreating Europe

Survey analysis on the impact of copyright law and open policies in relation to digitisation in the GLAM sector

The present questionnaire was developed under the auspices of the EU funded project ReCreating Europe - Rethinking digital copyright law for a culturally diverse, accessible, creative Europe (Grant Agreement No. 870626) and led by the research team of the University of Trento.

The questionnaire aims at investigating the impact of intellectual property rights law, particularly copyright law, on the practice of digitising cultural heritage by Galleries Libraries Archives Museums (GLAMs). The objective of the survey is to determine whether stakeholders are aligned with legal restrictions on digitisation and to what extent legal and technological measures are applied. Additionally, it informs on how the current framework effectively enables users’ access and users’ re-use of content.

There are 74 questions in this survey.

It is not compulsory to answer all the questions and you can interrupt the survey at any time. Partial information will still be used.

The questionnaire does not require the respondents to provide the most accurate legal information as a legal expert would do, it rather represents a compromise solution to gather information on the actual impact that copyright law and open policies have on digitisation practices undertaken by GLAM stakeholders. The overall goal is to assess whether they perceive intellectual property and particularly copyright as a barrier and to identify what are the measures taken to overcome such impediments.

The information in this document is provided “as is” and no guarantee or warranty is given that the information is fit for any particular purpose.

The data gathered from the questionnaire will be used to enable the legal analysis by the researchers of the ReCreating Europe Consortium on digitisation practices undertaken by GLAMs and to help recommending best practices and policies that enable digitisation to be carried out within the confined of a rebalanced copyright law.
