Notas do Editor
- The i2010 strategy announced the intention to promote and support the creation of a European digital library which aims to foster growth in the information society and media industries. EDLnet was aimed at building a prototype of a cross-border, cross-domain, user-centred service. It was funded by the European Commission under its eContentplus programme, one of the research and development funding streams of i2010. The New Renaissance Report by Comite des Sages - about bringing Europe’s cultural heritage online - said ‘All public domain masterpieces should be brought into Europeana’ and that ‘Public funding for digitisation should be conditional on free accessibility through Europeana’.
- The Strategic Plan 2011-2015 separates activity into four tracks. The Strategic Plan isn’t just a high level document, it translates to the work we carry out on a day-to-day basis and to each individual’s responsibilities. Aggregate: source content (increasing diversity); expand the network; improve data quality Facilitate: Strengthen advocacy (e.g. defend public domain); share knowledge among heritage professionals; foster research & development Distribute: Develop partnerships to deliver content in new ways, upgrade portal, put content in users’ workflow Engage: Enhance users’ experience; extend social media presence; broker new user/curator relationships (e.g. Europeana 1914-1918 UGC)
- T he governance of Europeana ensures integration and collaboration between the cultural heritage domains at the policy and strategy level. That has enabled Europeana to achieve the scale and scope of content realised to date. This list of the Board of Participants includes the chairs and presidents of all the international associactions for cultural heritage, giving Europeana stakeholder engagement at the highest level.
- Image is the dominant type Text is increasing Video and sound are still more challenging and costly to digitise with copyright and production issues Europeana actively tries to increase the video and audio content, which is also reflected in its content strategy.

- An aggregator in the context of Europeana is an organisation that collects metadata from a group of data providers and transmits them to Europeana. Aggregators also support the data providers with administration, operations and training. Europeana aims to create strong partnerships and to support the developments of aggregators on a national level in Europe and of pan-European aggregators representing a specific domain or sector. Besides getting direct data contributions from national aggregation initiatives, Europeana gets contributions from pan-European aggregators as, for example, EU-funded projects representing a specific segment or sector, like the Euroepan Film Gateway. These projects enable large amounts of data to be provided to Europeana. The aggregators also improve data, solve language issues and develop new technologies.
- At a working level, we operate in a network of aggregators. We can’t work directly with 2,200 organisations, so we rely on aggregators to collect data, harmonise it, and deliver to Europeana. Aggregators are important because they share a background with the organisations whose content they bring together, so there is close understanding. The aggregation model enables Europeana to collect huge quantities of data from thousands of providers, through only a handful of channels.
- Europeana’s content providers/aggregators represent or are linked to an estimated 60,000 content suppliers. 2,200 of those are actively supplying metadata via 150 aggregators. 28 current projects are supplying content on specific content areas for example newspapers, audiovisual records, fashion. 21 national initiatives are operating or starting in 2013. 28% of metadata comes from aggregators, 30% from projects and 32% from others such as direct suppliers.
- Germany 15.44% France 10.97% Netherlands 9.67% Sweden 9.44% Spain 9.98% UK 6.98% Norway 6.60% Italy 5.4% Ireland 4.04% Poland 4.02% Europe 3.95% Finland 2.95% Austria 2.05% Belgium 1.61% Hungary 1.26%
- The Data Exchange Information Form identifies types and numbers of objects, data owners etc. According to this information, Europeana will be able to decide whether the partner can provide the data directly or whether it will be re-routed through other aggregators such as projects or national initiatives. The Data Exchange Agreement formalises the collaboration between Europeana and Cultural Heritage Organisation. The Content Contribution Form contains: type of submission (new/update), licensing and metadata information, transfer mechanism that will be used (preferably OAI-PMH) etc. When the operations are completed the Cultural Heritage Organisation receives a notification from the Europeana Operations Team that the data is published on the Europeana Portal. When the Cultural Heritage Organisation updates or creates new datasets, the Europeana Operations Team will repeat the final steps.
- 1. The Europeana Data Exchange Agreement (DEA) structures the relationship of Europeana and its data providers. It details the exchange whereby data providers receive back enriched metadata as well as access to other metadata of interest. It establishes rules for updating and deleting metadata stored by Europeana and deals with issues such as liability and removal of data at the request of third parties. 2. The Creative Commons Zero Universal Public Domain Dedication (CC0 waiver). The CC0 waiver is a legal tool that has been developed by Creative Commons for making data available without restrictions on re-use. This means that anyone can use the metadata published by Europeana for any purpose without any restrictions whatsoever. 3. The Europeana Data Use Guidelines. These guidelines make best practice requests to users of the metadata. The Data Use Guidelines deal with issues like attribution and Data integrity. 4. The Europeana terms for user contributions. These terms apply to end users who contribute content to Europeana, so that Europeana can use content provided by its users and integrate it with other Europeana-held content and data. 5. The EDM rights field of the Europeana Data Model. The Europeana Data Model Specifies how data needs to be formatted so that Europeana can use it. This specification includes rights information relating to digital objects that are made available via Europeana.
- Poisonous nature exhibition includes content from Europeana, http://poisonousnature.biodiversityexhibition.com/ Europeana Fashion portal will go live in May 2013
- Data is available as ‘data dumps’ for Linked Open Data initiatives from data.europeana.eu. Europeana's move to CC0 is a step change in open data access. Releasing data from across the memory organisations of every EU country sets an important new international precedent, a decisive move away from the world of closed and controlled data. Note that previews can only be used in accordance with the rights information displayed next to them. HISPANA and Partage Plus both use the Europeana API to include Europeana search results on their own websites
- Practical examples of our support for innovation Art Space promotes access to art in everyday situations i.e. Europeana collections can be made available in public places such as coffee shops, libraries, schools, and hotels. Making use of LCD displays and an online Collection Management System allows a ‘Virtual art leasing’ service and a highly personalised curation.
- Practical examples of our support for innovation We are particularly interested in developing apps and other services around cultural tourism and education This one is a geolocation app – you take a picture of a site or monument today, and using the geolocation co-ordinates, it can bring up earlier pictures held in the Euroepana database
