What do #OpenData and Creative Commons have in common? 🤔 Both aim to promote #openness, #accessibility, and the sharing of information! 🔎 But how? #CreativeCommons promotes the use and publication of open data by offering flexible licensing options that make it easy for data owners to share their works. These licenses allow creators to specify how their data can be used, modified, and distributed, creating clear rules and reducing legal barriers. ⭐ 👉 In this way, Creative Commons stimulates innovation and collaboration, enabling more individuals and organizations to benefit from and contribute to a shared knowledge base. "There are many ideas that can only be realized thanks to open access to cultural heritage," explains Connor Benedict, Open Culture Coordinator at Creative Commons. 🚀 Gain deeper insights by reading our interview with Connor on the blog! #EntryScape #MetaSolutions #DataSharing #Data

As of yesterday, 9 June, the European Union's #OpenData Directive mandates all public high-value datasets be published free of charge and with open licenses, like those from #CreativeCommons. We are providing no-cost consulting and training for #climatedata providers working to meet this goal, under our Open Climate Data Project. https://loom.ly/tZl3CoU (Image source: EU European Data 2022) .
