  • 0:09 - 0:11
    Are you an exhibition space,
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    an archive, or a cultural institution?
  • 0:14 - 0:15
    Do you want to share your content
  • 0:15 - 0:16
    and increase the visibility
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    or your artworks and knowledge?
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    Share Your Knowledge is here to help you out.
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    How?
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    First, you need to follow Share Your Knowledge guidelines.
  • 0:25 - 0:29
    This means releasing all your digitised content online
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    under the CC-BY-SA license.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    Then, inform all your contacts about the change
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    in license and upload your content to Wikipedia.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Finally, watch how your content
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    is accessed and used.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    What is the CC-BY-SA license?
  • 0:48 - 0:52
    CC stands for Creative Commons.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    This means that an author can choose which copyright
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    he or she would like to apply to their artwork
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    when they put it online.
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    BY means that anyone can use
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    your material freely
  • 1:05 - 1:07
    and for free on condition
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    that you are acknowledged and
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    credited on the new artwork.
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    SA means that any artwork,
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    resulting from your material,
  • 1:16 - 1:19
    must be distributed under the same license.
  • 1:19 - 1:20
    Is is like starting out a
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    “creative commons infection”.
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    So, what do I have to do?
  • 1:26 - 1:30
    Embed the CC-BY-SA logo on
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    all the pages that you have your content.
  • 1:33 - 1:36
    If you want to share ALL your material at once,
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    embed the logo on your entire website.
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    This will make your content available
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    on the web under the CC license.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    What about the archive material that is not yet online?
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    If some of your content has been created
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    by someone outside your organization,
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    you will have to ask for their permission.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    This way, you can release catalogues,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    DVDs, videos, movies,
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    trailers and images
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    that are relevant to your content.
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    To make the project even more visible,
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    let your contacts know about it,
  • 2:07 - 2:10
    and if you really want to enhance your content,
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    tell Wikipedia volunteers!
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    By doing this,
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    you will contribute your valuable content
  • 2:16 - 2:20
    to the most used free encyclopaedia in the world,
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    with an audience of 400 million visitors!
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    Who can upload contents on Wikipedia?
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    You,
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    your colleagues,
  • 2:30 - 2:31
    your collaborators,
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    and all Wikipedia volunteers.
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    Once the content is online,
  • 2:35 - 2:37
    and following Wikipedia’s rules,
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    anybody will be able to correct a mistake,
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    add an image,
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    translate an article into another language,
  • 2:44 - 2:46
    and update any new information.
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    Wikipedia also has tools for you
  • 2:49 - 2:52
    to evaluate how effective
  • 2:52 - 2:54
    this Share Your Knowledge project
  • 2:54 - 2:58
    has been at increasing your content and its visibility!
