The document summarizes the past, present, and future of Europeana, an organization that provides access to digitized cultural heritage collections across Europe. It discusses Europeana's initial aggregation model and successes in building infrastructure and standards. However, it notes Europeana needs to improve reaching end users and creative industries directly. The document proposes a new digital service infrastructure model where Europeana focuses on connecting partners and acting as a platform to help institutions change more quickly. It aims to better serve partners by helping reduce complexity and leverage communities.
