AXM Joins the Creative Commons Open Culture Platform
Oct 17, 2025
AXM has joined the Creative Commons Open Culture Platform, a global network of institutions working to expand access to knowledge and cultural heritage. This marks a new step in connecting open-culture principles with ethical, consent-based tools for digital authorship and preservation.
Creative Commons has welcomed AXM to its Open Culture Platform, joining a global community of libraries, museums, technologists, and civic innovators committed to expanding access to culture and knowledge.
For more than two decades, Creative Commons has shaped how creators and institutions share their work—offering a simple, trusted framework for open licensing used by millions worldwide. AXM’s invitation to join the platform builds on that legacy, introducing a new layer of technology designed to protect authorship, attribution, and cultural integrity in the digital age.
Where Creative Commons helped make sharing easy, AXM is working to make consent and credit programmable. The company’s approach focuses on ensuring that creators, estates, and cultural institutions can share their work openly while keeping a verifiable record of who created it, how it can be used, and when it enters the public domain.
By joining the Open Culture Platform, AXM will contribute to collective efforts to keep digital culture open, accessible, and equitable—especially as artificial intelligence and new forms of media reshape how creative works circulate. The partnership also underscores a growing recognition that open culture and digital public infrastructure belong to the same global conversation about access, accountability, and creative rights.
“Creative Commons built the language of openness,” said Jameson Parker, CTO of AXM. “We’re building the infrastructure that ensures openness never erases authorship.”
This collaboration signals a broader shift toward shared stewardship of cultural data and digital memory. As institutions around the world adapt to new technologies, AXM’s participation brings a fresh perspective on how open access, ethical data use, and authorship integrity can coexist within the same ecosystem.
Together with Creative Commons and its global partners, AXM will help explore new frameworks for preserving cultural heritage, supporting creators, and ensuring that the next generation of digital culture remains both open and owned by its rightful communities.
