How do we know whether the collection can be made available online? How about copyright? To get a clear view on this, Sound and Vision developed a flowchart which is the basis for every copyright research within its collection. The flowchart makes you aware of copyright. It’s an instrument that provides structure in asking the right questions and finding answers. Sometimes, a risk analysis is needed after taking the steps of the flowchart. With the risk analysis in mind, a decision is made whether material can be made available online, as stream only or also as a downloadable file. The outcome of the copyright research is secured in the Sound and Vision MAM-system (MAM: Media Asset Management) and traceable in the online catalogue of Sound and Vision. This website gives a short description of the steps to take according to the flowchart. This flowchart is based on the policy of Sound and Vision.
