Europeana R&D Agenda for 2012 (Business Plan, section 2.4)

Foster a network of specialists from GLAM & research institutions

• They can advice on technological topics when needed • Build on earlier projects and workgroups

Develop R&D agenda for Europeana • Identify trends, gaps & key issues in crucial themes, who is working on

them, how Europeana can support them Feed R&D results from the scientific / open source community into

the development of Europeana • E.g. translate relevant R&D results into reuquirements for Europeana

Inform IT-related networks on Europeana-related R&D • e.g. LOD community

Improve and incrementally update EDM

Mission

Role of EuropeanaTech Research and Development community built up around Europeana

Expertise from the Europeana network & active collaboration with stakeholder groups outside the Europeana network (e.g. DPLA)

Facilitate community to meet, innovate and undertake research needed for the future of Europeana & the benefit of the broad cultural heritage and research communities

Gather task forces on specific technical points and foster a Europeana Software Developers Network

Tasks of Europeana v2.0 WP7 (Innovation)

1. Developers’ Network and FLOSS Inventory • FLOSS: Free Libre Open Source Software • Created by WP7, enriched by the EuropeanaTECH

community • Focus on tools from/for the cultural heritage domain,

relevant for the Europeana network • Included properties to asses the maturity and applicability

for Europeana related goals

2. Innovative applications for user interaction and UGC Build consensus on technical solutions

Page 12: Innovation for Europeana - Europeana v2.0 WP7

@maxkaiser

Tasks of Innovation WP

3. Semantic Web / Linked Data Tools for semantic extraction Social Semantic Web Model refinements for EDM

4. Multilingual Access / Translation Usability of multilingual access Development of user interaction models to guide and

maintain these processes for the Europeana portal and beyond

Achievements so far: FLOSS Inventory of FLOSS in the Cultural Heritage Domain First iteration based on existing sources (Hack4Europe,

Europeana ThoughtLab) Publicly available as a working document on the

EuropeanaTech Wiki Edit rights can be obtained by contacting mbrinkerink [at]

beeldengeluid [dot] nl !!! Active collaboration within the EuropeanaTech Network of

Developers is instrumental for improving the quality of this inventory !!!

Next Steps FLOSS: Inventory of FLOSS in the Cultural Heritage Domain Active involvement of the EuropeanaTech Network to discuss

and improve the inventory Gap analysis of the FLOSS inventory for Europeana Improvement, refactoring and development of a number of

key applications Emphasis on innovative applications in the area of access

provision, user interaction and User Generated Content

Page 15: Innovation for Europeana - Europeana v2.0 WP7

@maxkaiser

Achievements so far: Semantic Web / Linked Data

Market study on technical options for semantic feature extraction Effective and efficient tools for the extraction of concepts and

named entities From digital text, audio resources and video resources Available on EuropeanaTECH Community Wiki Feedback to marlies.olensky(at)ibi.hu-berlin.de

Page 16: Innovation for Europeana - Europeana v2.0 WP7

@maxkaiser

Next steps: Semantic Web / Linked Data

Make market study a “living document” on the Europeana

Tech Wiki Model refinements for EDM

• Include EuropeanaTech Network • For example on EDM-FRBRoo-harmonization

Social Semantic Web (task starting September 2012) • Based on decisions what innovative applications for user

interaction and UCG will be developed (from the FLOSS-task) • Use User Generated Content (UGC) for automatically

contextualizing information objects • Enrich the Linked Open Data (LOD) space with named entities

and concepts that can be identified in the UGC

Multilingual Access and Translations

User interaction

models

Enhance provider content

multilingually

Collaborative features to

improve translations

Multilingual user-driven

data Automatically enhancing

content multilingually Complement the semantic

enrichment processes Leverage collaborative features

to improve translations & add user-driven data in new languages

Development of user interaction models to support these processes

Page 18: Innovation for Europeana - Europeana v2.0 WP7

@maxkaiser

Achievements so far: Multilingual Access / Translation

Analyzed 50 websites from cultural heritage domain • Prevailing interaction patterns

• Search and browsing features

Determined multilingual access features across these sites Aggregated collaborative and user-generated content

features, e.g. • User exhibitions • Story telling

Page 19: Innovation for Europeana - Europeana v2.0 WP7

@maxkaiser

Next steps: Multilingual Access / Translation

State-of-the-art report about enhancing machine translation through user-provided data and potential enrichment sources for metadata

Develop a staged model of multilingual metadata enrichment Develop user interaction models which support the

presentation of multilingual content
