Sustaining and openly sharing source materials and multimedia content (“as open as possible, as closed as necessary”) (images, audio and video recordings, music, artefacts)
Prepare resources for sharing, check sensitive information, anonymisation where needed; perform selection accordingly where needed
Consult guidelines/ good practices to organize your resources (to link guidelines here per content type)
Even if not all your resources can be shared or shared openly, indicate deletions, closed access locations, reasons why certain parts cannot be (openly) shared in the documentation → see the ‘Levels of accessibility’ table below. Metadata (i.e. the description of your resources) should be openly available.
Documentation and metadata: provide a rich description of your resource including provenance information, contributors, circumstances of collection, limitations, license, ‘cite as’ information etc. ( metadata, readme file or other forms of documentation)
Select a location, i.e. where to share your resources. Ideally, this is a data repository or another hosting service with commitments for long-term archiving. → Checklist and link to select a repository for your resources.
If you wish to publish them on multiple platforms (e.g. both on your institutional website and in a repository) make sure to interlink these platforms.
