Europeana is a large-scale digital library that aggregates over 4 million items from over 1,000 cultural heritage institutions across Europe. It provides centralized access to digitized content from different domains including libraries, archives, museums and audiovisual collections. Europeana aggregates metadata describing objects rather than housing digital objects themselves. The European Union has supported the development of Europeana to provide a single access point for Europe's distributed cultural heritage and promote a common European identity.

- Random digitisation going on – duplication, different standards, methods and terms of accessibility, Programme needed to harmonise standards, establish best practice, minimise duplication, select related and complementary collections, Need to create national strategies and identify synergies Setting up large scale digitisation programmes Systematic approach to digital preservation - Different approaches; all re-inventing the wheel - starting from beginning, no knowledge exchange, or best practice methodology Harmonising copyright and tackling issues of orphan works Focus on providing access though a single European digital library portal Integrated access: meeting changing user expectations: web 2 users expect to read texts, watch videos, see pictures and hear sounds all in the same place. They don’t want to make decisions about WHERE something might be held – which country, what type of institution
- MODS was designed as a compromise between the complexity of the MARC format used by libraries and the extreme simplicity of Dublin Core metadata.
- NLs only
- The major aim of Video Active is to create access to television archives across Europe. The unlocking of these (largely) closed archives will make their content available for educational and academic purposes. It will enable an interactive discovery of television?s cultural heritage. The project will achieve this by selecting 10,000 items television archive content, which reflects the cultural and historical similarities and differences of television from across the European Union, and by complementing this archive content with well-defined contextual metadata. Video Active therefore offers an enormous resource for exploring both the representation of cultural and historical events within and across nations and the development of the medium itself at a cross-cultural level. Audiovisual archival material is notoriously hard to access. Current digitisation activities offer not only the solution for long-term preservation, but also break new grounds for access. Yet such current digitisation at different national levels lacks standardisation, cohesion and still offers uneven access. Video Active will therefore build on existing digitisation activities at different national levels to provide enhanced and equal access to archive content within a well-defined and integrated pan-European framework. To do this the project has brought together eleven leading audiovisual archives, from all across Europe, to make their digitised holdings available online. Ten languages will be supported: English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Hungarian, Catalan, Danish and Swedish.As a result, Video Active will enhance an understanding of the shared histories and interrelationships that have shaped collective European memory and identity, while at the same time celebrating the multicultural dimensions that have also shaped European citizenship. Video Active will also explore the historical role of the media in shaping these European experiences.There is a very large appetite for this kind of material, both within educational and academic communities, but also amongst a sizeable general public. People want to see and use broadcast archival material concerning the cultural history of the European nations.

- A specific objective of the network is to clear the ground to be able to propose one or more separately funded practical implementations of the European Digital Library. To do this a clear governance and organisational structure needs to be in place Governance by EDL Foundation As no solution can be imposed from above and progress can only be made by consent, the network aims to establish trust between the institutions for future sustainability of a joint portal at the same time as finding common technical solutions to interoperability issues and without this network we have nothing so it is key to the creation and implementation of a governance and organisational structure. This is the currently proposed organisational structure for Europerana Important to work at the top level with Foundation members because of the access it gives us to the content aggregators. Unlikely to be able to deal with individual institutions on the European scale Work with aggregators who solve some of the standards and interoperability issues at a domain or national level Then feed into Europeana.
- Google and microsoft digitisation: exclusivity; limitation to how widely accessible the material is. Moves Public domain material into the private domain Need it to be public domain because the intention is to enable material to be put to new uses, to create new services Especially within a learning context – materials for online courses The creative economy - the arts, publishing, media, digital - makes up over 7% of the UK economy, growth rate of 5% pa, twice that of other sectors and employs 1.8 million people Extend that across Europe, and that is a sizeable sector. Europeana can supply source material, inspiration, opportunities European identity: one element in giving people a more connected sense of their European heritage.
