CONCLUDING REMARKS - An radically open infrastructure for distribution of our material has proven to enable unexpected results and types of reuse that reach an enormous and diverse audience. - Our ‘open’ collection is just a *very* small proportion of the entire collection, so there is still huge potential in opening up the archive even further. -> THINK BIG, START SMALL!!! 26-11-2014
