Strategic Plan 2011-2015
• Aggregate

Content Analysis
• Strengths: Photography, Books/Newspapers/Letters, Artefacts, Art
• Weaknesses: Lack of audio-visual (film), Geographical imbalance
• Quality: Many objects with sparse metadata and broken links
Quality improvement plan• Improve documentation, raise standards and form an Ingestion Centre
• Persistent Identifiers, auto-checking broken links
• Clear rights and licences statements
• Enrich metadata through thesauri and authority files
Long term goals
• Encourage the creation of national aggregators for ALL countries
• Licensing solutions for orphan works and in-copyright works
• Public Private Partnerships with publishers and others
Distribute Europeana metadata
• Search Engines via SEO including Semantic Markup
• Portals and larger institutions via Linked Open Data and APIs
• Building a European Information Space
Distribute Europeana metadata
• Strategic partnerships with education, cultural tourism, publishers
• Small instutitons, communities and bloggers via widgets
• Social media campaigns via share, widgets, social objects
To facilitate this we need updated Data Agreements
• To improve quality and reach more users
• To align with the European Public Sector Information Directive
• We need Open (meta)Data!!!
Europeana is like judging a book by its cover
• We have the equivalent of a book cover
• Based on the cover the user decides whether to read the book
• The actual book is on our Data Provider’s sites
• So to get more readers we need to distribute the covers widely
So that was it. Let’s talk!
• Comments?
• Questions?
