Abstract

This study presents an analysis of the European projects of preservation and digitisation of the cultural heritage that, as an example of good practices, have been the origin of the declaration of orphan works. For this purpose, the public information available in the records of the Orphan Works Database of the Observatory of the Intellectual Property Office of the European Union (EUIPO) is established as the primary source for the identification of projects. First, the data of the 2,041 records exported from the database are analysed and normalized. Next, different rankings and indicators are established. Finally, the 43 projects identified are presented and a qualitative and descriptive analysis is realized, based on the consultation of the public information available online and the contacts established with some of those responsible.
