A Statement of Common Principles: DPLA-Europeana
The Digital Public Library of America and Europeana share a common goal: to make the riches of libraries, museums, and archives available, free of charge, to everyone in the world. They will be guided in this mission by the following principles.

- They will promote open access to the greatest possible extent through joint existing and new policies concerning content, data, and metadata.
- They will collaborate regularly in developing specific aspects of their systems, beginning with:
- an interoperable data model
- a shared source code
- cooperative collection building.
