  4. Project overview • Start date: 1 March 2011, 36 months • Work packages led by NM Prague, RMCA Tervuren, NHM Vienna, IBSAS Bratislava, MfN Berlin, NHM London, AIT Graz, BGBM Berlin (Coordinator) • Consortium: 23 partners from 12 European countries • GBIF involvement: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany (3), Slovak Republic; CETAF (BioCASE), ETI, SMEBD, Species 2000. • EC funding: EURO 3 500 000 [80%]

  7. For Europeana, OpenUp! will provide • a single access point to distributed non-bibliographic multimedia content in the natural history domain • validation mechanisms to ensure compliance with EUROPEANA standards. • sustained item-level access by integration with existing networks in the domain (i.e. GBIF, BioCASE and CETAF). • metadata enrichment by means of multilingual metadata vocabularies and thesauri for natural history data (e.g. names) to enhance cross-linking of Europeana content. • a mechanism to extend participation in content provision.

  8. For the natural history data community, OpenUp! will provide • 80% funding for 275 person months of qualified staff time for data cleaning and quality control. • increased relevance of our data by inclusion in EUROPEANA. • tools for quality control of species names and other data. • help to further implement BioCASE technologies and thus data provision for GBIF. • funding for a multilingual index of common names. • technical solutions for shared but distributed information infrastructures.

  13. WP7 “Extension of the Network” • Offer a helpdesk facility for provider and users within and beyond the Consortium partners • Provide access to existing and newly produced documentation and tutorials for the services of OpenUp! • Formulate the procedures and outreach strategies for adding associated partners to enlarge the provider community beyond the current consortium members • Lead: MRAC Tervuren, main partner: GBIF France, further partners GBIF-Belgium, GBIF-Finland, GBIF-Denmark, GBIF-Germany (ZFMK) and the GBIF Secretariat
