Dear all, In case you haven't seen it, you might be interested in TALIS' announcement of the Connected Commons, including hosting for linked data and a waiver-based system for dealing with rights issues: http://www.talis.com/platform/cc/ This Nodalities blog post explains more about the approach: http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities/2009/07/linked-data-public-domain.php I'd be interested in your thoughts about the applicability of the model for museums.
