Accessing the data
The data is dedicated to the public domain (CC0), so anyone may reuse it. The guide to the open data is here.
The Quran text
The Quran text is the Tanzil v1.1 transmission, kept verbatim and never edited; attribution to Tanzil is required and given wherever it appears.
Media and images
Every media record carries one of these approved licences; anything else is refused. The museum links rather than copies wherever it can.
| Licence | Records |
|---|---|
| CC0 | 232 records |
| CC-BY | 5 records |
| CC-BY-SA | 15 records |
| PD | 32 records |
| VAM-NC | 187 records |
Museum catalogues and IIIF
Object pages link to the holding institutions' catalogues; 187 objects also carry IIIF manifest links. Those images and manifests remain the institution's own.
Per-version registry
The museum publishes from git: every release is a commit and every record carries its own provenance. The licence state at each point in time is the commit log.
