Two challenges for the Europeana
ecosystem
1) Making metadata richer 2) Getting more users of that
metadata (and the related content)
Europeana Cloud aims to address these challenges
Europeana
AggregatorAggregator
Current situation for
metadata aggregation
<---- Data Providers--->

The situation does not fully
exploit the value of the Europeana network and its metadata and
content
<---- Data Providers--->
Europeana
The European LibraryPolish Digital Libraries Federation
Europeana Cloud project
tries to rethink this situation
Testing and building a shared infrastructure -
Europeana Cloud
These three aggregators are piloting the Europeana Cloud system
The European Library – 120m items of bibliographic records, 20m metadata items *
Polish Digital Library Federation – 1.5m metadata items
Europeana – 30m metadata items
* - metadata items refer to metadata records that points to a digitised object

Europeana Cloud allows members to
Upload metadata to a shared systemDefine who can use that metadata and in what ways
(download, edit, delete, annotate)

Europeana Cloud allows third parties to
Access that metadata, via APIs, according to conditions of owner(download, edit, delete, annotate)

Questions to be asked: Does eCloud make it easier to
share data, especially with Europeana?

archaeology)

Questions to be asked: Will eCloud make aggregation
cheaper? And for who?
But that is not all!
We will also investigate how we can build end-user services on top of this infrastructure
Researchers
In particular for researchers in humanities and social sciences
Content & Metadata
In scope for the project (Europeana Research):
The project will experiment with the
ingestion of content for use in research
Europeana Research Platform

In scope for the project (Europeana Research):
Developers will work with APIs give access to the data in eCloud

In scope for the project (Europeana Research):
From this third-party development work, tools for specific research communities will be available

In long term, eCloud will allow others to build tools on the data it holds
GLAM
Creative industries
Europeana Cloud project also addresses
Governance: How will eCLoud be run
Business Model: How it will be paid for
Other stakeholders: What might non project members want from eCloud ?
Establishing the rules for how other organisations can join once the project
finishes
