Om Openverse

Openverse är ett verktyg som gör att öppet licensierade och offentliga arbeten kan upptäckas och användas av alla.

Openverse searches across more than 700 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 Community-bidrag välkomna. You can see what vi jobbar för närvarande med.

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.

Openverse does not verify licensing information for individual works, or whether the generated attribution is accurate or complete. Please independently verify the licensing status and attribution information before reusing the content. For more details, read the Openverse användarvillkor.

Externa källor

Openverse bygger på en katalog som indexerar CC-licensierat och innehåll i publika domänen från utvalda källor. Läs mer om vår källor här.

However, there are many sources of CC-licensed and public domain media that we are not yet able to include in Openverse search. This might be because they do not offer a public API, or that our contributors have not yet had time to integrate them into Openverse. These are valued sources and we want to make sure that you are able to find the best openly licensed materials possible, regardless of where they are located.

Du hittar länkar till externa källor längst ned på varje sida med sökresultat i Openverse, på sidor där din sökning inte hittade något och på sidor för typer av media som vi ännu inte har stöd för (men planerar att inkludera).

This functionality also allows us to start conversations and build relationships with sources that may like to be included in Openverse in the future. Finally, we can also offer external sources of media types we do not include in Openverse yet, but plan to.

Kan jag föreslå nya externa källor?

Ja, gärna! Skapa ett ärende i vårt GitHub-arkiv eller skicka e-post till oss och berätta om de nya källor som du vill ha med.

Varför byggde ni detta?

Under många år har Creative Commons erbjudit sina användare en dedikerad sökportal för sökplattformar som har CC-licensfilter inbyggda. Faktum är att detta fortfarande underhålls på oldsearch.creativecommons.org.

For users of the legacy CC Meta Search site, the "External Sources" feature on Openverse will look familiar. The goal was to ensure that the functionality is not lost, but is updated and embedded within our new search engine for openly licensed content. Additionally, the "External Sources" feature builds on this functionality, allowing us to quickly add new external sources as we discover them, and support new content types in the future.

Vi hoppas att du är nöjd och om du har förslag på förbättringar, lämna feedback till oss.
