Libraries have a rich tradition of interconnection, resource sharing, and cooperative metadata work, but not of open metadata. Our work with interoperability projects and research information services including IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework), Blue Core, POD (Platform for Open Data), and RIALTO bring questions about metadata reuse to the fore. This session will describe the uncertainties and impediments created by lack of explicit licensing and argue that open licenses or declarations are the right solutions that allow the library community to innovate. We draw connections with the practices of the burgeoning open science and open data movements, as well as emerging requirements for outputs from federally funded research.
