  1. Television Heritage in Europeana Drs. Johan Oomen Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision

  2. Overview • Positioning Europeana and Video Active • Europeana prototype demo • Future plans: EUscreen BPN

  3. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active i2010 Aims: • to create a Single European Information Space, which promotes an open and competitive internal market for information society and media services • to strengthen innovation and investment in ICT research • to support inclusion, better public services and quality of life through the use of ICT. Flagship initiatives

  4. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active Digital Libraries Initiative • Online accessibility, a precondition for maximising the benefits that citizens, researchers and companies can draw from the information. • Digitisation of analogue collections for their wider use in the information society. • Preservation and storage to ensure that future generations can access the digital material and to prevent precious content being lost. • => Recommendation of 24 August 2006 on “The digitisation and online accessibility of cultural content and digital preservation”

  5. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active eContentplus 2005-2008 • “A multiannual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.” • Creation of the European Digital Library • In 2009-2010 Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme

  6. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active European Digital Library “a common access point to Europe's distributed digital cultural heritage”

  7. +/- 500.000 records with digital objects (90 collections) • Including Video Active material! U: Euro / P: Proto1

  8. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active Backend • Technical Framework • Web Service API • Re-used work of: • Bricks, QVIZ, Gallica, AnnoCultor, Cliopatria, The European Library • Open Source software: • Apache Solr index engine, Spring Framework • Use of standards • OAI-PMH, OAI-ORE, RDF(s), CIDOC-CRM, etc

  10. Ingest workflow • Harvesting of metadata via OAI-PMH or ftp • Video Active uses OAI • http://rhea.image.ece.ntua.gr:8080/oaicat/OAIHandler • Metadata conversion and Semantic harmonisation • e.g. content of type field is heavily language dependent (photograph, foto, etc.) • Creation of a surrogate (i.e. keyframe) of the digital object and store it in the framework

  11. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active • Metadata standards poorly applied • Missing basic fields title, language, location, year, link to digital object • Few have a thumbnail • Define elements By: Saltatempo

  12. Creation of new communities of interest API´s: Back to websites of contributing parties Use in education Added value for content providers

  13. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active VA and Europeana • Partner in:The Europeana Thematic Network • FIAT-IFTA and VA partner INA are represented in EDL Foundation • Strong working relations with other projects, notably European Film Gateway, Communia

  14. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active Euscreen • “Exploring Europe’s Television Heritage in Changing Contexts” • Thematic Network under eContentPlus • Building on the results of Video Active • Europeana is one of the consortium members

  16. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active EUScreen objectives • O1: To develop technical solutions to support harmonized and highly interoperable audiovisual collections; • O2: To provide the necessary technical solutions that Europeana needs to be able to support audiovisual content; • O3: To create demand and user-led access to television content from broadcasters and archives across the whole of Europe; 

  17. EUScreen objectives cont. • O4: To develop and evaluate a number of scenarios amongst a range of users, including the research learning and leisure sectors. • O5: To build a community (network) of content providers, standardisation bodies and users, and to build and share knowledge among these on the key issues and challenges relevant to the audiovisual heritage domain and beyond.

  21. Europeana prototype demo Future plans: EUscreen BPN Positioning Europeana and Video Active • Datamodel requires a semantically consistent metadata schema • Usefulness of facets depends on control and harmonisation of their values • Especially a consistent use of temporal descriptions, e.g. timex. • Semantic interoperability depends on • Multilingual disambiguation • Identification of named entitities and events • Availability of local thesauri, ontologies and controlled vocabularies
