We’re on a mission
•Giving aggregators and data providers a cheaper, more sustainable infrastructure for storing and sharing metadata and content•Helping making that
metadata richer•Getting more people to use
that metadata and the related content
We want to help the Europeana ecosystem by:
National Library of France, Public Domain
Building a new aggregation system.Metadata currently travels in one direction, towards Europeana.
Audiovisual collections
National Aggregators
Regional Aggregators
Archives
Thematic collections
Libraries
e.g. Musées Lausannoi
s
e.g. Culture Grid,
Culture.fr
e.g. The European Library
e.g. APEX
e.g. EUScreen, European Film Gateway
e.g. Judaica Europeana, Europeana Fashion
Our alternative is a shared, cloud-based infrastructure.
→ This would allow members of Europeana Cloud to:
1.Upload metadata and content 2.Define who can use that metadata and content and in what ways (download, annotate, delete)3.Give third parties access via APIs
The European Library
Three aggregators will use this new infrastructure.
……………………………………………………………….............................Contributing 120m bibliographic records and 20m metadata items. www.theeuropeanlibrary.org
Polish Digital Libraries Federation…………………………………………………………….....................Contributing 1.5m metadata items.
www.fbc.pionier.net.pl
Europeana……………………………………………………………….....................................Contributing 30m (now many more) metadata items. www.europeana.eu
Helping aggregators and data providers.
What we hoped to provide as benefits for aggregators (and data providers)→Lowered costs→A more efficient way to share metadata with Europeana→Ability for third parties to enrich your metadata (eg. find place names, make links, convert formats)

What We Discovered
What we have discovered …. → Storage and sharing of
data not the key issue for other aggregators. Rather …
→ Metadata mapping is a slow process, with too many steps, services and discussions required
→ Aggregators need the ability to curate (ingest, map, enrich) their data at greater speed
→ Many see possibilities for enrichment, but do not have the tools for it National Library of France, Public Domain
What we have discovered …. →Services more
important than storage
→ Also, building robust, reliable services is time consuming
→ Focus on services for aggregators before opening up same services to data providers
→ Results published here→ Given this, Europeana
Cloud will now focus onNational Library of France, Public Domain
Europeana Cloud will have completedBy April 2016

1. Underlying Storage Service
With API for upload and download of data
2. Access Framework
Determining rules for use and reuse of data
3. IIIF Service
For hosting high-resolution images
Europeana Cloud will have completedBy April 2016

4. User ManualHow partners can use Europeana Cloud
5. Governance ModelEuropeana Cloud as an independent cooperative legal entity
6. Business Plan / Cost ModelWith roadmap for attracting new partners and sustaining eCloud
7. WebsiteGiving background information
Europeana Cloud will work with test cases in first instance
Some test cases
Title hereCC BY-SA
1. Europeana NewspapersPublishing 5m+ images of historic newspapers
2. Food and Drink Working with ICT-PSP project to host digitised content
3. MuseuHelping museums aggregator with technical infrastructure
4. Sample content from eCloud project partners 5. The European Library
Integrating ingestion workflow and data into Europeana Cloud

This vision remains → This would allow
members of Europeana Cloud to:
1.Upload metadata and content 2.Define who can use that metadata and content and in what ways (download, annotate, delete)3.Give third parties access via APIs

Developing Cloud Services
Seven previously mentioned outputs
- Storage- IIIF - Governance- Business
Plan- etc
eCloud Project DSI1 ->2016 DSI2 -> 2017 DSI3 ->2018
Building tools to respond to aggregator requirements→ Allowing metadata mapping to become
an easier, quicker, less frictional process → Ensuring tools are both robust and user-
friendly → Better tools for enrichment and content
checking → Responding to new demands as expert
hubs→ Providing for data providers in later
stages (DSI3)
“The vision for Europeana Cloud is tremendous.
Feels like a global game changer.”
