Editor's Notes
- A quote from the Duke of Wellington, June 18, 1815, can be found on the inside of the lid. It reads, "Napolean did not manoeuvre at all. He just moved forward in the old style, in columns, and was driven off in the old style".
- Europeana was born as a political vision to create social and economical capital
- This has led to the creation of a strong infrastructure for aggregation of cultural objects and a variety of ways to access this material online.
- The Strategic Plan 2011-2015 separates activity into four tracks. The Strategic Plan isn’t just a high level document, it translates to the work we carry out on a day-to-day basis and to each individual’s responsibilities. Aggregate: source content (increasing diversity); expand the network; improve data quality Facilitate: Strengthen advocacy (e.g. defend public domain); share knowledge among heritage professionals; foster research & development Distribute: Develop partnerships to deliver content in new ways, upgrade portal, put content in users’ workflow Engage: Enhance users’ experience; extend social media presence; broker new user/curator relationships (e.g. Europeana 1914-1918 UGC)
- Image is the dominant type Text is increasing Video and sound are still more challenging and costly to digitise with copyright and production issues Europeana actively tries to increase the video and audio content, which is also reflected in its content strategy.

- So how do we intend to support Creative Industries
- At a working level, we operate in a network of aggregators. We can’t work directly with 2,200 organisations, so we rely on aggregators to collect data, harmonise it, and deliver to Europeana. Aggregators are important because they share a background with the organisations whose content they bring together, so there is close understanding. The aggregation model enables Europeana to collect huge quantities of data from thousands of providers, through only a handful of channels.

- Poisonous nature exhibition includes content from Europeana, http://poisonousnature.biodiversityexhibition.com/ Europeana Fashion portal will go live in May 2013
- Sneak preview of the new portal out this week
- Developing our API for distribution
- Practical examples of our support for innovation Art Space promotes access to art in everyday situations i.e. Europeana collections can be made available in public places such as coffee shops, libraries, schools, and hotels. Making use of LCD displays and an online Collection Management System allows a ‘Virtual art leasing’ service and a highly personalised curation.
- Among them I could mention the Fundaccion Cristobal Balenciaga in Spain, the Fendi Heritage foundation and GucciMuseo in Italy. Armani foundation also contacted us for a meeting two days ago. The surprising thing for us is that these private institutions, which are multinational brands, have been always very conservative about sharing material from their archives, which have been always considered an asset to protect rather than open and share. And these institutions have been always very reluctant in joining "multibrand" initiatives. ...It seems that the open and collaborative nature of Europeana is slowly changing their mind-set. Another clear example of this change is the enthusiasm showed by Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in joining our new Tumblr blog (http://bit.ly/XGV9DW), for which the director of the museum is curating a special edition on Ferragamo iconic shoes that is going online during this week. And just few days ago also the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto asked us to collaborate on our Tumblr blog. The relation and the possible creative synergies between Fashion industry and the GLAMs community will be also the main theme of our forthcoming international conference in Florence, in which we will have keynotes speakers coming from major public museums in Europe (like V&A and MoMu), top fashion brands like Pucci, Ferragamo and Balenciaga, fashion magazines like Vogue and academic institutions like the FIT of New York, the London College of Fashion, Polimoda in Florence and the Centre for Fashion Studies of the University of Stockholm. You could find more info on the programme here: http://www.europeanafashion.eu/conference/ And finally, another important achievement we're trying to reach is related to the engagement of users. In fact, on the 22nd of March, hosted by our partner Nordiska Museet in Stockholm, we're going to organise our first GLAM-WIKI event in cooperation with Wikimedia Sweden and Europeana Awareness. This will be the first public event of a series of five events we're going to organise with Wikimedia in the Netherlands, UK, France and Italy, with the goal of engaging users with fashion heritage content on-line.
- Link to the books and monographs on world war one – all languages – taking the interested user deeper Peak in traffic generated by Press release on Hitler and Bible – more eyeballs – 20,000 per day – returning user remaining high
- Practical examples of our support for innovation We are particularly interested in developing apps and other services around cultural tourism and education This one is a geolocation app – you take a picture of a site or monument today, and using the geolocation co-ordinates, it can bring up earlier pictures held in the Euroepana database
- The i2010 strategy announced the intention to promote and support the creation of a European digital library which aims to foster growth in the information society and media industries. EDLnet was aimed at building a prototype of a cross-border, cross-domain, user-centred service. It was funded by the European Commission under its eContentplus programme, one of the research and development funding streams of i2010. The New Renaissance Report by Comite des Sages - about bringing Europe’s cultural heritage online - said ‘All public domain masterpieces should be brought into Europeana’ and that ‘Public funding for digitisation should be conditional on free accessibility through Europeana’.
- T he governance of Europeana ensures integration and collaboration between the cultural heritage domains at the policy and strategy level. That has enabled Europeana to achieve the scale and scope of content realised to date. This list of the Board of Participants includes the chairs and presidents of all the international associactions for cultural heritage, giving Europeana stakeholder engagement at the highest level.
