Kennen Sie schon … Openverse?

Mit Open­verse kön­nen Sie frei lizen­zierte und geme­in­freie Werke find­en: Die Plat­tform aggregiert Bilder und Audio-Dateien aus Repos­i­to­rien, für Videos gibt es eben­falls eine Such­funk­tion. Texte sollen per­spek­tisch auch noch ergänzt wer­den.

Open­verse is a tool that allows open­ly licensed and pub­lic domain works to be dis­cov­ered and used by every­one.

Open­verse search­es across more than 800 mil­lion images and audio tracks from open APIs and the Com­mon Crawl dataset. We aggre­gate works from mul­ti­ple pub­lic repos­i­to­ries, and facil­i­tate reuse through fea­tures like one-click attri­bu­tion.

Cur­rent­ly Open­verse only search­es images and audio tracks, with search for video pro­vid­ed through Exter­nal Sources. We plan to add addi­tion­al media types such as open texts and 3D mod­els, with the ulti­mate goal of pro­vid­ing access to the esti­mat­ed 2.5 bil­lion CC licensed and pub­lic domain works on the web. All of our code is open source and can be accessed at the Open­verse GitHub repos­i­to­ry. We wel­come com­mu­ni­ty con­tri­bu­tion. You can see what we’re cur­rent­ly work­ing on.

Open­verse is the suc­ces­sor to CC Search which was launched by Cre­ative Com­mons in 2019, after its migra­tion to Word­Press in 2021. You can read more about this tran­si­tion in the offi­cial announce­ments from Cre­ative Com­mons and Word­Press. We remain com­mit­ted to our goal of tack­ling dis­cov­er­abil­i­ty and acces­si­bil­i­ty of open access media.
