‘The business model describes the logic of our organization to create and deliver value’

Case 1

Europeana

We had aggregated millions of objects and made them available through one specific interface

But the portal setup didn’t cater to the needs of wildly differing customer segments...

2008-2012

Who have their own workflows and preferences for accessing information

2008-2012

The key to this was changing the licensing framework

But how does this affect the business model of our partner institutions?

Case 2

National Archives of the Netherlands

The project made 400 photos available on Flickr-The Commons

1M page viewsphotos on flickr were viewed 160 times as much as on own site...

2000 comments, 14000 tags

Case 3

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam

http://bit.ly/mRoOfp

The Rijksmuseum found out that yellow copies of Vermeer’s Milkmaid became so persistent on the

web that visitors started to believe the original was a fake...
