>EUROPEANA INSIDE
House of Images suppliers of Collection Management Systems (CMS) and Digital Asset Management are one of 26 participants in the EU funded Europeana-Inside Project. The primary objective of the Europeana Inside is to support the Digital Agenda for Europe by achieving a lasting transformation in the quantity, scope and usability of the content available to Europeana from European cultural institutions.
Within this overall ambition, the main objectives of Europeana Inside are:
-
To open up a significant critical-mass of new digital cultural content from European cultural institutions for delivery to Europeana.
-
To significantly simplify the process of contributing content to Europeana for cultural institutions and aggregators of all sizes and types throughout Europe,
-
To help cultural institutions and aggregators overcome barriers to participation in Europeana by part-automating the workflow through which content is made available, and creating tools for the management of access and licensing,
-
To build upon the framework of standards and protocols established through previous Europeana projects by ensuring that current and future generations of Collections and Digital Asset Management Software are ‘Europeana-ready’.
-
To support the enrichment of metadata in Content Provider systems (and thereby deliver value to participating organisations and their users) by creating a channel for enhanced content to be re-ingested from Europeana as the central domain aggregator and point of access to local systems.
Europeana Inside will lead contribute more than 960,000 records from 15 cultural institutions and 5 national and thematic aggregators in the EU to Europeana. It will also open up the potential for more than 7000 other cultural institutions (the installed user-base of the participating Technical Partners) to deliver content to Europeana simply and easily in the future, enabling a potential contribution of more than 30 million new records.
