LinkedCulture policy
Terms of Service
LinkedCulture is a public, non-commercial cultural heritage discovery and publishing project operated by Le Monde Web. These terms cover the website, search tools, and associated social media publishing workflows.
Public educational use
CC0 museum sources where available
Human-controlled social publishing
Use of LinkedCulture
By using LinkedCulture, the LinkedCulture search interfaces, or LinkedCulture social media publishing tools, you agree to use them for lawful, educational, research, and cultural heritage purposes.
Content and Sources
LinkedCulture aggregates and indexes public cultural heritage metadata and images from museums and open collections. Collection records remain under the stewardship of their source institutions, and canonical records should be checked at the linked museum pages.
Many LinkedCulture videos and search examples use CC0 or open-access museum materials. Museum resources remain covered by the licenses and rights statements supplied by their institutions.
AI-Assisted Material
LinkedCulture may use AI-assisted scripting, descriptions, captions, and narration to turn public museum records into short educational videos. AI-generated material can contain errors, so it should not replace the museum's authoritative record.
Social Publishing
LinkedCulture publishes educational short-form videos to services such as TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. Publishing through a platform API requires authorization from the relevant account holder and is subject to that platform's policies, review requirements, and rate limits.
For TikTok Content Posting API flows, LinkedCulture displays the target creator account, the selected video, editable caption text, available privacy settings, interaction controls, commercial-content choices, and the consent required before sending content to TikTok.
No Warranty
LinkedCulture is provided as-is. The project aims to improve cross-collection discovery, but it does not guarantee completeness, accuracy, uninterrupted availability, or fitness for any particular use.
