brand proposition
what is the goal?
achieve much higher rates of use of
Europeana (Network) metadata and
associated content
who are the users?

content re-use ....
Europeana will be highlighting
digital objects that meet re-use
recommendations
additional search tools that allow to
identify content suitable for re-use
Europeana will expose direct link to
full-size object via API
content for re-use
images with min. 800px
direct links to 300dpi images
rights statements that allow re-use
Europeana re-use requirements
Content / Media File Checker
examines digital objects linked from Europeana
recognises file formats
determines resolution of still images and video files
determines the sample rate and bit depth of audio
determines if a text file can be fully searched
Content Re-use Framework
extension of the existing Europeana
Licensing Framework
allows to find digital objects with quality for
re-use and appropriate rights statement
enables (re-)users to retrieve objects via
direct links
Lessons
Learned
‘Gimme great,
high-res reusable content’
re-use Framework requires commitment
from everyone
use the Content Checker! (Q1 2015)
