Content growth This in turn has led to a spectacular growth in objects: currently over 27 million objects in 32 languages with all 28 member states represented.

The portal www.europeana.eu is the most visible expression of this united Europe.

It’s a website!
Friday, September 27, 2013
10
Usage growth There is a direct link between the amount of objects in the repository and the amount of visits to the site. Large contributors such as France and Germany receive the largest proportion of the visits to the sites (portal, mobile, apps).

11
Network growthThis was realised primarily by resolving co-ordination failure: without the co-ordinating efforts of Europeana the most likely scenario would have been fragmentation of databases and data standards, leading to high development costs and loss of synergy. A strong and representative network is key to this success.

It’s an API!
Friday, September 27, 2013
The second phase of our work has focussed on making the material more accessible to individuals, professionals and creative industries across Europe.
16
Friday, September 27, 2013
In order to target new and different customer segments we needed to make the material accessible through a wide variety of services and therefore developed a more open licensing structure: the CC0 Public Domain dedication for metadata.

API growthThe effect of the change in license was felt immediately: currently over 770 organisations (commercial and non-commercial have requested an API key, 66% of them are already implementing them in a variety of services.
Friday, September 27, 2013
This has enabled us to make our culture available on a wide variety of services, resulting in increased visibility of cultural institutions and their holdings across Europe. For example, Europeana is now the 3rd biggest traffic driver for the Rijksmuseum.

Content Providers Aggregators Distributors Users
1. Europeana serves 2300 content providers (>60.000 in Europe)2. This is scalable through the network of aggregators (70% of the aggregators serve >2000 content providers)3. Europeana is the hub for aggregation and for the co-ordinationand development of knowledge and standards.4. A similar scalable setup needs to be created on the distribution side. Through a limited amount of strong partner networks such as the European Business Network, EU schoolnet, Wikipedia, and social networks (pinterest, tumbler, facebook, etc.) this can be accomplished.5. This will allow access, visibility and re-use to increase with strong multiplier effects.

Europeana is extremely well positioned as a catalyst of change, a Digital Service Infrastructure that can reduce costs of accessibility, fuel a burgeoning creative economy, and realise spin-off effects in other sectors.

Key recommendations
1. Provide direct access to content;
2. Develop a more explicit value proposition for cultural institutions;
3. Work with existing communities;
4. Turn ‘portal thinking’ into ‘platform thinking’;
5. Europeana needs to become more entrepreneurial.

In order to realise this potential the Europeana DSI will provide services on 4 different levels: Aggregation, Facilitation, Distribution and Engagement.
29
Friday, September 27, 2013
1. Europeana will provide value-added services that allow the Cultural sector to do their work faster, cheaper and better, for example with cloud based hosting services and more efficient aggregation tools. Premium (paid) services will be developed.

MethodologyThis (draft) Strategic Business Plan has been developed during the period June 1- July 16 by the Europeana Foundation (EF) to guide the transition into the new Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MFF). This document is the result of intense investigations in a short time frame and draws primarily on the following sources:
1. Europeana Benefit-Cost Ratio (SEO Economic Research): this research was commissioned by EF to investigate the current and future cost-benefit ratio of Europeana. It focusses primarily on the areas where Europeana plays a role in realising European added value through positive externalities. 1. Fundraising (Myra Kelly Fundraising consulting): this research has focused on investigating alternative funding streams for Europeana, in particular through sponsorship and fundraising. 2. Market revenue investigations (Institut Nationale Audiovisuel): this research was conducted to provide an overview of possible revenue streams for self-sustainability. 3. Roadmap 2020 (Business Models Inc): investigation on value propositions for the 4 client groups of Europeana: cultural institutions/end users/creative industries/European Union.

Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the Commission: ‘People often speak about closing the digital divide and opening up culture to new audiences but very few can claim such a big contribution to those efforts as Europeana’s shift to cultural commons’.

http://blog.europeana.eu/2013/06/linked-across-borders-and-time-travelling-exhibition/ In this blog, Famous Bulgarian writer, Georgi Gospodinov, who was a special guest at the travelling exhibition launch said: ‘With projects like [Europeana], we can enter museums and their collections without effort but we can also grant those collections the opportunity to get right inside us. Europeana allows us to carry them along with us every day. We can have centuries of culture in our pocket – on our phones, on our computers. What we do with it is down to our own curiosity.’

Speaking at the Europeana Conference as part of the Irish presidency, Jimmy Deenihan, Irish Minister for the Arts, heritage and the Gaeltacht, said ‘Europeana is a powerful tool to increase the capacity to experiment with cultural assets and to promote a powerful creative economy. [..] Europeana is at the forefront proving that by providing data sets for new digital applications cultural bodies can realise additional social and economic benefits, through real innovation and creativity.’
