  • Digitalisation and Intermediaries in the Music Industry
    CREATe Working Paper 2017/07 (June 2017) Digitalisation and intermediaries in the Music Industry Authors Morten Hviid Sabine Jacques Sofia Izquierdo Sanchez Centre for Competition Policy, Centre for Competition Policy, Department of Accountancy, Finance, University of East Anglia University of East Anglia and Economics, University of Huddersfield [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] CREATe Working Paper Series DOI:10.5281/zenodo.809949 This release was supported by the RCUK funded Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy (CREATe), AHRC Grant Number AH/K000179/1. Abstract Prior to digitalisation, the vertical structure of the market for recorded music could be described as a large number of artists [composers, lyricists and musicians] supplying creative expressions to a small number of larger record labels and publishers who funded, produced, and marketed the resulting recorded music to subsequently sell these works to consumers through a fragmented retail sector. We argue that digitalisation has led to a new structure in which the retail segment has also become concentrated. Such a structure, with successive oligopolistic segments, can lead to higher consumer prices through double marginalisation. We further question whether a combination of disintermediation of the record labels function combined with “self- publishing” by artists, will lead to the demise of powerful firms in the record label segment, thus shifting market power from the record label and publisher segment to the retail segment, rather than increasing the number of segments with market power. i Table of Contents 1.

Sierra Canduela President of Wikimedia Spain Degrees in Chemistry and Theology and diploma in Therapeutic Pedagogy Secondary school teacher [email protected] Santiago Navarro Sanz Member of Wikimedia Spain Student of the degrees in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry (Jaume I University of Castellón) and History (UNED) [email protected] Tomás Saorín Lecturer at the Faculty of Communication and Documentation (University of Murcia) [email protected] Submission date: February, 2012 Accepted date: April, 2012 Published in: May, 2012 Abstract Wikipedia came into being in cyberspace. Its early years were marked by asynchronous work by users located all over the world who hardly ever related on a personal level outside the net. With time, some of the volunteers met at what were called wikimeetups, encounters initially aimed at tightening bonds which did not bring about any direct improvement to the project content. Face-to-face initiatives later took place that involved not just volunteers but also cultural entities. The most recent event and the one with the greatest impact was Wiki Loves Monuments 2011, a competition to photograph monuments in 18 European countries, including Spain. The high level of participation led to 160,000 photographs of monuments being taken, with Spain occupying the third place in terms of number of photographs.

  • Europeana Strategy 2020–2025
    STRATEGY 2020-2025 EMPOWERING DIGITAL CHANGE La Grande Lunette, Place de La Bastille, Louis Vert, 1900, Parisienne de Photographie, France, public domain 2 This strategy has been developed following the Report from the European Commission to the Parliament and the Council on the evaluation of Europeana and the way forward (COM /2018/612) [1] and is based on the recommendations from the Expert Group on Digital Cultural Heritage and Europeana (DCHE) [2] prepared by its sub-group on Europeana. We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to the formulation of this strategy, especially representatives of Member States in the DCHE, representatives of the European Commission Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology and members of the DCHE sub-group on Europeana. The implementation of this strategy will be supported by European Union funding from September 2020, subject to adequate funding being secured. Key performance indicators will be developed based on this strategy. Europeana is an initiative of the European Union, financially and politically supported by the European Commission since its launch in 2008. Currently it is funded under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) [3] funding instrument and is operated by a consortium led by the Europeana Foundation, under a service contract with the European Commission. For the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027, the Commission has proposed to fund Europeana under the Digital Europe Programme. 3 Contents Summary �������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������4

  • 1 the Case of Weland in South Piemonte, Italy Author: Stefano
    Europeana TF “Creating local Europeana related networks” CONNECTING DIGITAL INITIATIVES INTO A GLOCAL NETWORK The case of weLand in South Piemonte, Italy Author: Stefano Caneva Vicepresident weLand Association (www.we-land.com) [email protected] About the author: Born in Asti, Italy (07/05/1981), Stefano Caneva has been living in Belgium since five years (Leuven; Liège; Antwerp). Since 2012, he has enriched his academic profile as a post-doctoral researcher (Ancient History, Humanities, Digital Humanities) with an intensive activity as leader and member of NGOs (weLand, Wikimedia Italia, Wikimedia Belgium) working in the field of open data and new media for local administrations, cultural heritage and educational institutions. This paper provides a history of the activities of the cultural NGO weLand (South Piemonte, Italy) as a case study concerning the establishment of a regional network of stakeholders, combining the needs of the local community with the high potential provided by transnational institutions and networks, such as Europeana. Open Data and digital instruments are weLand’s tools; networks of people and ideas provide the ecosystem. The development of a smart land is the goal. The paper is divided into four sections: 1. preliminary considerations on the Europeana “Local Networks” taskforce and its possible application to South Piemonte; 2. a chronicle of the projects carried out by weLand; 3. a plan of the possible interaction between weLand and Europeana at a regional level; 4. final considerations, based on weLand’s experience, concerning the conditions for the establishment of an open, dynamic and reliable network of stakeholders with a glocal perspective.
