Europeana Workshop Discusses ECL and Cultural Heritage Access
•
1 gefällt mir•403 views
The document discusses a workshop aimed at making an IvIR report on Extended Collective Licensing (ECL) as complete and useful as possible. It notes that digitization and online access are important to highlight cultural heritage, inspire new content, and encourage new online services. However, there is no Europe-wide solution to digitize and make accessible 20th/21st century materials, denying users access to their cultural heritage. ECL has the potential to solve this issue within legal frameworks while compensating rightsholders. The document then summarizes Europeana's strategic plan to aggregate, facilitate, distribute, and engage with cultural heritage through its portal. It identifies barriers like outdated laws, definitions, and lobbying that stand in the way

- So, we analysed this input and did some more research of our own about what other major players are doing for example such as the british library and the smithsonian and as a result of our analysis we produced our Strategic Plan [SH] that summarises our vision and our strategic areas of work for the coming five years. 4 words is what it all boils down to: Aggregate, facilitate, distribute and engage
- First of all, We want to be thee trusted source for cultural heritage. We want to source more cultural content and we want to improve its quality through metadata enrichment and through applying persistent identification. We believe that the semantic web is the way to go forward in order to fully harness the links between concepts and works. For this reason we have developed a new data model that will capture better the domain-specific rich data and that makes use of the linked Open data to fully develop the semantic potential between the resources we aggregate. And we want to work together with providers and aggregators to create a sustainable overall European information space where users navigate between different portals such as EUscreen, wikipedia and Europeana and all these resources interlink and complement each other.
- Our second strategic track is about facilitating the cultural heritage sector through knowledge transfer, innovation and advocacy. By bringing together a huge network of professionals and researchers Europeana helps develop and share best practice in a diverse range of common areas of interest in the digital environment such as end user and usability research, multilinguality, IPR, business models, data standards and semantic web technologies. We will continue to disseminate knowledge through our communication channels,thematic workshops and conferences. Europeana is also committed to developing open source technologies and applications and is acting as an incubator and a test bed to support creative innovation in the cultural heritage sector. We are organising, for example, our first hackathon on the 1st of April in this building. With that we want to experiment with what kind of applications can be developed for the end-users from your data! And we hope that some cool results will come out of it. We hope that these developments in the long run save money for our partner organisations who can benefit from R&D without needing to invest too much in it. Last but very importantly, in this track we plan to strengthen our advocacy role to help open up online access to cultural content. We are trying to educate users to understand copyright and respect existing restrictions in content re-use We are advocating to content providers to respect the public domain and not to impose new rights on it after digitisation. We are also advocating for open metadata re-use of the cultural heritage metadata - and I will come back to that and to our proposed new agreements in a bit. Last but not least we will be advocating to the commission for funding for digitisation and for a harmonised legal framework that facilitates acces promoting solutions with regards to orphan works for example.
- Of course we will continue to build the Europeana.eu portal and make it better for the users. We got a very clear message though at the consultation process we followed about the future of Europeana that we have to move away from the logic of Europeana as a destination portal. Europeana needs to dliver the aggregated and enriched content to users wherever they are whenever they want it. We recently launched our first API and search widget which partners can embed in their own portals making use of the rich data to complement their own collections. We are happy that EUscreen was one of the first to develop a worldpress Europeana search widget on the site. We’ve recently made it possible as well to easily embed objects from Europeana into social networking sites and blogs. Further plans to distribute the Europeana data include working closer with wikipedia to expose the Europeana records- wikipedia as we all know is a major starting point for search for all users. Cultural institutions that have put content on wikipedia have seen their traffic increasing significantly. We are also currently working together with European schoolnet, the joint collaboration platform of the European ministries of culture on a European proposal that will spread the use of europeana data into primary and secondary education through learning environments such as interactive smartboards. We are also investigating partnerships with tourism agents in another proposal to create applications for cultural tourism in Europe.
- Last but not least, We want users to engage more with culture. We want them to look for it, to play with it, to share it, to annotate it, to use it in their own projects as much as possible. We recently launched our first in a series of exhibitions to highlight particular themes of pan-European or cross country interest. The first one is on art nouveau. Finally, We are very proud to be part of the great war archive project which started in the UK and to extend it to Germany. People are invited to contribute their family’s memorabilia and stories from the Great War at dedicated submission dates. Curators help them document their stories, digitise their objects and put them online. We hope to be able to extend the project to more countries adding peoples’ stories to the official history from all sides of the war. Working in such partnerships we hope to broker a new relationship between users, content and curators.

- First of all, let me remind you where Europeana stands today. Since it’s launch as a beta portal in November 2008 Europeana has made accessible almost 16m objects from more than 1500 content providers. An incredible collective achievement. This portal is [click]
- So, this is how we envisage that culture can stimulate creativity and lead to social and economic growth. This is how we believe we can bring more users to your archives, that we can help you provide them with a richer user experience and you can enable more and hopefully profitable services to be made with your objects. Only that we have a problem. We can do very little of these with the current agreements that we have with you.

- Lastly, we are running a pilot with some providers to pubish their data as LOD. We did this only through word of mouth among parnters that we thought would be positive and who replied positvely to the online consultation. The response was overwhelmingly positive- almost everyone that we asked said yes, including all the major national libraries that we have content in Europeana and a few more organisations suh as the Danish Film institute and the film archive of the national library of norway. We hope through this to understand better the technicalities, but also, should it prove successful to be able to show the benefits to all
- Now, a couple of words about how the new agreements impact the EUscreen partners. As Johan described in the letter that was sent out last Friday, currently the matter is settled in the consortium agreement and full compliance with Europeana terms is foreseen there. The Issue affects more urgently some individual providers among you that also give content directly Also, it will be an Issue if you want to give more content to Europeana via the dark aggregator that is being set up- we still need to decide there how to address this but you’ll probably need to sign the agreement It will be an Issue for EUscreen towards the end of the project’s duration after which some legal entity will have to guarantee the continuation of the availability of the content on Europeana. We hope to have the new agreements ready in the summer and to start getting partners to sign them. But this is not set in stone. We first need to make sure that partners are convinced of the benefits. We trying to do as much as possible to raise awareness about the strategic need for the new agreements and we are trying to consult with all providers to make sure that we hear their points.
- We are going to hold another round of consultations soon and we would like you please to respond. Thank you for your time
