  1. Wearing your ‘Massively Ambitious’ hat, I propose some additional layers of ambition:
    – Gather metadata about every public domain work (and publishing an open digital copy);
    – Have this information endorsed by a prestigious institution (e.g. a National library or Europeana);
    – Offer some kind of guarantee (e.g. a promise to receive pro bono legal advice in case the public domain status of this work is challenged).
