Overview
The Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia decided to fund a flexible and open-ended online tool to broaden and promote international cultural cooperation, as well as knowledge and recognition of Slovene culture. The main task of the Culture.si portal is to offer referential and easy-to-reuse texts, images, contact information, international events and user-specific lists related to Slovene culture. In 2009 the development of the project was entrusted to the Ljubljana based Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory and the beta version of the Culture.si portal was launched in April 2010.
In the period 2009-2014 the project is fully funded by the Ministry of Culture (Sector for European Affairs and International Co-operation), which remains the owner and the founder of the portal. Ljudmila established partnerships with numerous institutions in order to ensure the interoperability of the state-funded online content as well as to provide the high quality content. Among them:
- National University Library
- Sigledal.org - Slovene theatre portal
- Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012
- Slovenia Press Photo Institute for Promotion of Photography
- WikiProject Slovenia
- Research Institute of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design
- Peace Institute, Centre for Cultural Policy Research
- SCCA-Ljubljana Centre for Contemporary Arts
License Usage
Please specify the license adopted. How is the license applied? Can you provide any available statistics? What has been the author or organization's experience with Creative Commons licenses so far – what have been the benefits and lessons learned?
The Culture.si portal offers its content under two copyleft licences:
- CC BY - all the texts (currently over 2,300 articles)
- CC BY ND - images in the Free Image Bank (currently over 1,500; final estimate over 7,000)
The Logo Bank, however, is fully copyrighted.
In the Beta stage of the project the main task is to promote the benefits of the CC-licensed content for the Slovene cultural organisations and institutions. The feed-back is very positive and over 200 of them have already provided the requested material. There have been only a few cases where the published material had to be fully copyrighted (e.g. archival photos from the theatre performances from the 1970's and 1980's).
So far over 2,000 downloads have taken place.
