News: OPENVERSE — images, audio, video

Tuesday, May 30, 2023 - 10:34 PM

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

Openverse searches across more than 300 million images from open APIs and the Common Crawl dataset. It goes beyond simple search to aggregate results across multiple public repositories into a single catalog, and facilitates reuse through features like machine-generated tags and one-click attribution.

They 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 their code is open source (Openverse frontend, Openverse API, Openverse Catalog) and welcome community contribution.

Individuals cope daily with a multitude of changes in scale and pace... The exhibition highlights designers’ ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and history..."
