Openverse. Openverse è un interessante motore di ricerca che consente di sfogliare un ricco catalogo di più di 600 milioni tra foto, immagini, audio, ovviamente di libero utilizzo in quanto registrato sotto la tutela CC (Creative Commons). Il sito di Openverse rende inoltre disponibile un utile motore di ricerca interno che permette di selezionare anche la tipologia di risorsa ricercata (immagini, video ecc.). Il sito è multilingue.

Dalla presentazione del sito: “Openverse is a tool that allows openly licensed and public domain works to be discovered and used by everyone. Openverse searches across more than 800 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 welcome community contribution. You can see what we’re currently working on.

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 Terms of Use”.
