Aims:• to create a Single European Information Space, which
promotes an open and competitive internal market for information society and media services
• to strengthen innovation and investment in ICT research• to support inclusion, better public services and quality of
life through the use of ICT.
Flagship initiatives

Digital Libraries Initiative
• Online accessibility, a precondition for maximising the benefits that citizens, researchers and companies can draw from the information.
• Digitisation of analogue collections for their wider use in the information society.
• Preservation and storage to ensure that future generations can access the digital material and to prevent precious content being lost.
• => Recommendation of 24 August 2006 on “The digitisation and online accessibility of cultural content and digital preservation”

eContentplus 2005-2008
• “A multiannual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.”
• Creation of the European Digital Library• In 2009-2010 Competitiveness and Innovation
framework Programme

“a common access point to Europe's distributed digital
cultural heritage”

Ingest workflow
• Harvesting of metadata via OAI-PMH or ftp– Video Active uses OAI– http://rhea.image.ece.ntua.gr:8080/oaicat/OAIHandler
• Metadata conversion and Semantic harmonisation– e.g. content of type field is heavily language
dependent (photograph, foto, etc.)
• Creation of a surrogate (i.e. keyframe) of the digital object and store it in the framework
• Metadata standards poorly applied • Missing basic fields title, language,
location, year, link to digital object• Few have a thumbnail • Define elements

Added value for content providers
• Creation of new communities of interest
• API´s: – Back to websites of contributing parties– Use in education
VA and Europeana

EUScreen objectives
• O1: To develop technical solutions to support harmonized and highly interoperable audiovisual collections;
• O2: To provide the necessary technical solutions that Europeana needs to be able to support audiovisual content;
• O3: To create demand and user-led access to television content from broadcasters and archives across the whole of Europe;

EUScreen objectives cont.
• O4: To develop and evaluate a number of scenarios amongst a range of users, including the research learning and leisure sectors.
• O5: To build a community (network) of content providers, standardisation bodies and users, and to build and share knowledge among these on the key issues and challenges relevant to the audiovisual heritage domain and beyond.

• Datamodel requires a semantically consistent metadata schema
• Usefulness of facets depends on control and harmonisation of their values• Especially a consistent use of temporal descriptions,
e.g. timex.
• Semantic interoperability depends on• Multilingual disambiguation• Identification of named entitities and events • Availability of local thesauri, ontologies and controlled
vocabularies
