Abstract

Open cultural data is comprised of digitized heritage artifacts, released by heritage institutions into open access. It constitutes a powerful tool to transform current educational practices, with applications ranging from textbook augmentation to digital games and data-based services. That transformation is achieved via data reuse, allowing reconceptualization of available datasets in creative ways. However, successful implementation of data reuse initiatives is possible only if technical prerequisites are met. Review of existing open data governance principles has revealed that aspects crucial for reuse are not covered, therefore hindering the wide adoption of reuse practices. In this paper, we present a set of principles to act as guidelines for enhancing the reusability potential of open cultural data. Proposed set of principles was utilized to analyze Estonian open cultural data landscape and formulate improvement suggestions. Our analysis has shown substantial gaps which should be resolved before wide-scale educational reuse of Estonian open cultural data that could be initiated.
