克利夫兰艺术博物馆是世界上参观人数最多的艺术博物馆之一，很快它也将成为最重要的网上收藏之一。Today, we are announcing a release of 30,000 high quality, free and open digital images from the museum’s collection under CC0 and available via their API.CC0 allows anyone to use, re-use, and remix a work without restriction.
In line with the museum’s mission to work “for the benefit of all people in the Digital Age,” the Cleveland Museum is leading the charge for comprehensive metadata and open access policy. The museum sees its role as not only providing access, but also creating sincere partnerships that increase utility and relevance in our time.
卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析知识共享的首席执行官Ryan Merkley与博物馆馆长William M. Griswold以及首席数字和信息官Jane Alexander一起在CMA上宣布了这个发布。他说:“我希望这种与有远见的机构密切合作的模式将成为我们可以在其他博物馆中复制的模式，并将成为各机构在网上与公众分享和互动的新标准。”博物馆的领导也表达了同样的观点。
“Open Access with Creative Commons will provide countless new opportunities to engage with works of art in our collection. With this move, we have transformed not only access to the CMA’s collection, but also its usability—inside as well as outside the walls of our museum,” said Griswold.
The newly released images and their associated metadata can also be viewed onCC Search,创作共用卡塔尔vs葡萄牙分析图像门户网站，它提供了来自21个提供商的数百万张CC图像。这个门户网站目前正在开发和发展中，克利夫兰艺术博物馆的图像为世界各地数十亿学习者体验和享受文化遗产提供了另一个入口。In this release, the CMA joins other institutions that have made the choice to share, including theMetropolitan Museum of Artand theArt Institute of Chicago.
