4. Vision:
We believe in making cultural heritage openly accessible in a
digital way, to promote the exchange of ideas and information.
This helps us all to understand our cultural diversity better and
contributes to a thriving knowledge economy.

Europeana was born as a political vision to create social and economical capital
Grew out of The European Library, but only gives access to resources with digital items attached. Takes stuff from museums, libraries, archives, audio visual collections and is dependent on an aggregation structure.
Sneak preview of the new portal out this week
The strategic plan comprises four tracks around which our activity turns and on which all our resources are focused
400 direct partners representing potentially 60,000 instibutions across Europe all able to talk to each other and discover the
This has led to the creation of a strong infrastructure for aggregation of cultural objects and a variety of ways to access this material online.
So it brings in digital content but it also holds non digital bibliographic records. As libraries you can all join TEL – it delivers to Europeana but also into Research library systems, has its own linked open data cloud….
These are the kinds of things we have been doing so far and they give a taster of what is to come.

Distribution is central to the strategy of Europeana and has been enabled by a few things- Interoperability, Open metadata, Rights labelling, machine access.

Among them I could mention the Fundaccion Cristobal Balenciaga in Spain, the Fendi Heritage foundation and GucciMuseo in Italy. Armani foundation also contacted us for a meeting two days ago. The surprising thing for us is that these private institutions, which are multinational brands, have been always very conservative about sharing material from their archives, which have been always considered an asset to protect rather than open and share. And these institutions have been always very reluctant in joining "multibrand" initiatives. ...It seems that the open and collaborative nature of Europeana is slowly changing their mind-set. Another clear example of this change is the enthusiasm showed by Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in joining our new Tumblr blog ( http://bit.ly/XGV9DW ), for which the director of the museum is curating a special edition on Ferragamo iconic shoes that is going online during this week. And just few days ago also the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto asked us to collaborate on our Tumblr blog. The relation and the possible creative synergies between Fashion industry and the GLAMs community will be also the main theme of our forthcoming international conference in Florence, in which we will have keynotes speakers coming from major public museums in Europe (like V&A and MoMu), top fashion brands like Pucci, Ferragamo and Balenciaga, fashion magazines like Vogue and academic institutions like the FIT of New York, the London College of Fashion, Polimoda in Florence and the Centre for Fashion Studies of the University of Stockholm. You could find more info on the programme here: http://www.europeanafashion.eu/conference/ And finally, another important achievement we're trying to reach is related to the engagement of users. In fact, on the 22nd of March, hosted by our partner Nordiska Museet in Stockholm, we're going to organise our first GLAM-WIKI event in cooperation with Wikimedia Sweden and Europeana Awareness. This will be the first public event of a series of five events we're going to organise with Wikimedia in the Netherlands, UK, France and Italy, with the goal of engaging users with fashion heritage content on-line.
So we’ve done a lot, but to move to the next stage I believe we have to pool resources, create a common hub. From which we can create a variety of frontends or services.
The aim being to create a hub that contains all this stuff, This for me is the vision for Europeana and the ecosystem, and I see Europeana Cloud being able to deliver on it. And the main reason is that Europeana cannot be all things to all men……it needs to deliver to specific audiences to engage
This is the aim of Europeana Cloud – it builds on much of what we have done and are doing, both technically and within the network but can be made to happen now courtesy of 2 major projects with some contribution from a couple of others funded in the last call such as LoCloud and Eagle.
We create a space where backend infrastructures are shared and the costs therefore reduced, but that has mulitiple front ends to serve specific audiences, including, within this project the development of Europeana Research from the work of The European Library but incorporating a much wide set of data
Is based on 2 premises
From here we can create a front end or a platform of services that serve the research community
If you want to help us create a service of that includes non textual data you can do so by joining the Europeana network and becoming part of the taskforces that work out what is needed and how we deliver it technically, socially and legally.
