The German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, DNB) is currently changing its business model to publish all data in all formats under a CC0 license. This is a presentation of the current state I made on the Open Data on the Web conference organised by the W3C, the Open Data Institute and the Open Knowledge Foundation in London on April 24, 2013. There is an accompanying paper available at http://www.w3.org/2013/04/odw/odw13_submission_57.pdf.
