Free Culture Index

The Free Culture Index is a concept to evaluate free culture compliance within the GLAM sector.

Dürer's Rhinoceros - Albrecht Dürer was an innovator in spreading art to the public through printmaking.

The current draft iteration has four subject areas (Photography, Images, Copyright, Data), each of which can be evaluated on a score of 0-3.

The greatest innovator in this area may be awarded with the Albrecht Dürer Rhinoceros Prize of Free Culture.
