to the DOW
• EAJC: Content aggregator
– EAJC not providing content – stated
content is from CJH
• NLI: Selection of content
– NLI will prepare relevant content for
DM2E – distribution by numbers
may differ

Work progress
• Content providers: Upload of sample
data → available on FTP server
• Content and Metadata questionnaires
→ available on Redmine
• EAJC aggregation of new content
provider JDC
• Requirements gathering for
Requirements report (D.1.1)

5. 18 June 2012
Objectives and Tasks
• Objective: Analyse source structures and map
them to the EDM
• Objective: Communicate requirements of
content providers to WP2
– Findings stated in the requirements report
• Task 1.1 Collect metadata formats and
relational backend structures
– Questionnaires and carried out by WP2 and MPWIG
• Task 1.2 Collect requirements
– Questionnaires and requirements report; support
by WP2
