The Yournal of European Research Libraries2A view on Europeana from the US perspective192009by:RickyErway europeana lang:en year:2009 At the express request of the organisers of the second LIBER/EBLIDA workshop on digitization, Ricky Erway of OCLC provided an outsider’s view on the Europeana project. Erway looks at Europeana from many vantage points: mandate and funding; branding and public relations; learning from others; aggregation; cooperation; content; rights; metadata; technology; access; user feedback; and sustainability – offering valuable advice for the Europeana community in doing so.Wed Dec 09 11:40:07 CET 2009JunePaper for the Meeting: 193.

Even though this perception is not entirely misleading, the main goalof Europeana rather is to build an open services platform enabling users and cultural institutions to access and manage a large collection of surrogate objects representing digital and digitised content via an Application Program Interface (API). The paper covers some details of the overall data space schema, of the API description and of the Europeana Portal implementation; it also discusses use cases and the mental approach that users, in particular cultural institutions, should adopt to completely exploit the potential of the Europeanaservices platform together with a discussion of related risks.

General requirements of a modern metadata infrastructure for libraries are identified, including such qualities as versatility, extensibility, granularity, and openness. A new kind of metadata infrastructure is then proposed that exhibits at least some of those qualities. Some key challenges that must be overcome to implement a change of this magnitude are identified.Tue Jun 16 13:45:58 CEST 2009Austin, TexasThe 2009 Horizon Report is a collaboration between The New Media Consortium and the EDUCAUSE Learning InitiativeAn EDUCAUSE ProgramThe 2009 Horizon Report2009highered horizon lang:en report scholarly_communication strategie year:2009 Sun Jun 14 19:06:15 CEST 2009Europeana Thematic Network Deliverables 2.5.
