The Europeana
Network
Tuesday, 18 March 2014
One of the most powerful instruments we have developed together is the network of over 800
members, representing over 2300 institutions who contribute data, knowledge and technology.
Together, we have accomplished a number of amazing things:
3. The diversity of the Content

to the Scheld, &c [Mapa] 1802
Tuesday, 18 March 2014
We have developed an aggregation infrastructure that allowed over 2300 partners from every
member state to contribute over 30 million objects on every topic imaginable in 36 languages
from every member state, and beyond.

We have been able to develop a shared data model that is future proof (LOD etc.).
<Add stuff on the model, pisa meeting, currently 9 million EDM records (?) everything available
through SPARQL end node, ...> ‘The coordination and standardisation of a shared data model
that is fit for the web of the future’
7. CC0 Public Domain Mark
‘The largest single dedication of cultural data
to the Public Domain’*
*Jonathan Gray, the
GuardianTuesday, 18 March 2014
We have been able to agree on a very far-reaching licensing infrastructure that makes the
metadata available for everyone to use and re-use. Also mention public domain mark. <Picture

These are things we have done so well that they have become export products of Europe
(DPLA, Korea, Brasil, ...). Mention BBC MoU.
12. The portal www.europeana.eu is the most visible expression of this united Europe.

The most visible aspect of all is of course the portal. If you like, this was the visual inspiration. but it had and has
many flaws, not least how can one portal satisfy all the needs of all the different types of users for the material
gathered. Will it work for the researcher in the digital humanities, does it provide the educational pathway for the
schoolchild, can I find stuff about my town, or the town I am visiting. Even if the portal can do all of this, are we
able to service it to comprehend the changing needs of the users, to make it work for each and every person? We
thought that was not the Why of Europeana, so we have embarked on the second phase:
13. Raw Data
Where’s the
museum that
has the
drawing of
Rembrandt ‘s
son?
Need some
curriculum ready
stuff for my
lesson on 1989
Would like to show in
my app all the music
scores that are
available for free
Tuesday, 18 March 2014
But
we
dont
think
we
can
do
this
via
a
single
portal
that
works
for
everyone.
We
are
not
a
search
engine,
we
are
trying
to
show
the
breadth
and
depth
of
what
our
cultural
ins;tu;ons
have
but
to
do
this
according
to
the
level
of
knowledge,
depth,
breadth
that
the
user
is
looking
for
requires
us
to
be
experts
in
primary,
secondary
educa;ons,
in
media
driven
art,
in
genealogy,
in
cultural
tourism,
in
specific
hobbies,
in
different
areas
of
research.
The
user
also
has
a
prolifera;on
of
ways
to
get
to
things
-‐
we
think
we
should
be
placing
the
right
data
in
the
right
place.

We will become part of infrastructure. This is good, because culture is now seen to underpin
the knowledge economy.However, there are a few things we need to do and overcome, not
least satisfying user need

Therefore,
we
pull
in
the
digitally
available
material
of
our
cultural
heritage
ins;tu;ons
and
enable
it
to
work
together
so
that
it
can
be
pushed
or
pulled
out
by
communi;es
wan;ng
to
view,
reuse,
research
and
discover
our
cultural
heritage.
Users
can
find
this
material
in
places
they
already
use,
Google,
Wikipedia,
Facebook,
thema;c
sites,
educa;onal
Apps,
tourism
apps,
the
list
can
be
endless
and
it
is
scaleable.
Why
do
we
do
this?
What
impacts
have
we
had?
29
million
objects,
from
2300
providers,
via
373
aggregators,
we
have
a
data
model
that
is
based
on
Linked
Open
Data,
now
beginning
to
work
in
prac;se
as
well
theory
and
we
have
770
applica;ons
for
our
API
with
some
great
examples
of
‘reuse’
star;ng.
Because
we
have
a
great
network,
interoperable
data,
a

framework,
some
great
