Jonas Öberg

    Jonas’ intention is to work on increasing the relevance of sharing by creating the technology needed to make it easier to use materials previously shared. Specifically, he wants to create the technology needed to interpret and make use of machine-readable metadata for licensing and attribution requirements, make this technology available to platform owners and software developers, and work with the community to show how this technology can be practically implemented.

    He will be building proof-of-concepts, demonstration and prototypes that can then be shown to the relevant communities with the aim of having the maintenance and final implementation of those tools be done by members from the communities.
