Europeana Newspaper metadata LIBER2013
This document summarizes a workshop on structural metadata for the Europeana Newspapers project. It discusses how 10 million newspaper pages from various European libraries need to be delivered to Europeana in a standardized format. Participants created a METS/ALTO profile called ENMAP to unify the delivery format. More than 3 million pages have already been processed using this profile. The final ENMAP specification will be released in 2014 and include structural metadata elements like titles, headlines, and genres to improve search and facilitate crowd-sourced work. Feedback is requested on defining recommended practices for structural metadata in digitized newspapers.
Challenges and solutions in creating a european historic newspapers browser
This document discusses the challenges and solutions in creating a European historic newspapers browser. Key points include:

The Portable Antiquities Scheme records archaeological objects found by the public in England and Wales. It has created the largest archaeological database online with over 338,000 records and images. The Scheme works with metal detectorists and the public to record finds that would otherwise be lost. It provides valuable data for research and heritage protection.
Collage
The Corporation of London developed COLLAGE, an electronic system to provide public access to its extensive visual collections held in its libraries and art galleries. Over 18 months, a dedicated team digitized over 30,000 works, indexing and photographing items from the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery. The digitized collection was made accessible to the public through COLLAGE, a custom-built visual information system with powerful search and display capabilities, addressing the challenge of preserving collections while promoting access.

Slides for the presentation given at the MTSR 2016 conference in Gottingen, Germany for the paper "Exploring Audiovisual Archives through Aligned Thesauri" by Victor de Boer, Matthias Priem, Michiel Hildebrand, Nico Verplancke, Arjen de Vries, and Johan Oomen.
In this paper, we present a case study where partial
collections of two audiovisual archives (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and VIAA) are connected by aligning their thesauri. We report on the conversion of one of the thesauri to SKOS and on the subsequent application of an interactive alignment tool CultuurLINK. Finally, we introduce an cross-collection browser which uses the produced alignment to allow users to explore connections between the two collections.

This document provides an overview of two European projects - CARARE and 3D-ICONS - that aim to aggregate and provide access to archaeological datasets through Europeana, the European Digital Library. CARARE involved 29 partners from 21 EU countries who harvested and aggregated content to make European archaeological and architectural heritage available through Europeana. It created a metadata schema and provided a large amount of digital content, including 3D models. 3D-ICONS builds upon CARARE by focusing on "masterpieces" of European cultural heritage and further developing access to 3D models of archaeological and architectural sites. Both projects help disseminate archaeological research and pave the way for future use of Europeana as a research tool.

Frictionless Data Exchange
This presentation was given as part of the EOSC Stakeholders Forum Scientific Community Workshop which gives the opportunity to prospective consumers and providers - from both the public and commercial sectors - to discuss needs and opportunities that should drive the definition of the EOSC service portfolio roadmap. This workshop aims to answer the following:
- What prospective needs and priorities do scientific communities have as consumers of the EOSC?
- How should EOSC facilitate the sharing of data, scientific outputs and services across national and organisational borders?
The workshop starts with a presentation of today’s state of play in federating resources and services to enable multi-disciplinary science and transnational access; it featured invited talks from representatives of digital infrastructures, research projects and communities and the long-tail of science. The workshop also involved representatives from both public and commercial organisations in their role as a service provider and service consumer. The workshop participants also took the opportunity to define a list of recommendations giving direction to the development and provisioning of the EOSC portfolio.
Challenges of the Rijksmuseum Research Library
The Rijksmuseum Research Library faces challenges in adapting to new research methods and technologies while maintaining its historical role supporting the museum's collections. As the library professionalized in the 20th century, it focused on cataloging and automating its collections. It now aims to overcome organizational "silos," provide interdisciplinary access, and develop new digital services through an open, networked approach as part of the museum's Research Services department.
europeana agm 2015, 4/11, europeana cloud - alastair dunning & pavel kats
Europeana Cloud aims to provide a shared, cloud-based infrastructure to help aggregators more efficiently share metadata with Europeana. While initially intended to lower costs and storage issues, it was discovered that aggregators' main needs are tools to more quickly curate data through metadata mapping, enrichment, and publishing. By April 2016, Europeana Cloud will focus on building these tools, as well as services for storage, access control, and hosting images. The long-term vision remains allowing metadata sharing and third party access, with the goal of Europeana Cloud becoming the main hub for metadata aggregation.
Neil Grindley
Ensuring that an organisation's digital assets are safe, secure and accessible for the long term should (in theory) be an interesting, responsible and useful role for anyone in an organisation to accept. The critical importance of digital assets, the ubiquity of digital methods and the need for people in all walks of life to have effective means to refer to persistent sources of data reinforce this notion. How is it then that long-term asset management, information lifecycle management, data curation, digital preservation (call it what you will) is often regarded as a peripheral specialist activity that it is diffcult to resource, complex to carry out, and delivers benefits that are, at best, simply an insurance policy rather than an activity that adds value to an organisation?
This presentation will examine the importance of defining clear roles for those involved with digital preservation and will consider the importance of associating this professional activity with strategic and tactical frameworks. It is likely that automated services will increasingly be required to deal with the collosal amount of digital information that will be produced and consumed over the next century and whilst the type and nature of these services are yet to be defined, we can be fairly certain of one endurng requirement, namely, that human judgement will always be needed to curate interesting and useful content for future generations.

Back to the Roots? Emerging Communication Paradigms in the Context of Seconda...
I gave this talk at ecomm, Emerging Communications Conference & Awards, 2009 in Amsterdam
http://europe.ecomm.ec/2009
Orality, the most natural way for humans to communicate, is inclusive and participatory, highly interactive, and instantaneous. Back in 1982, Walter J. Ong coined the term 'secondary orality' - a way of interpersonal communication made possible by modern communication tools, that is neither classically oral nor literate. This talk will explore if and how digital communication tools are developing into communication enablers, allowing us to go back to our roots and engage in conversations instead of creating written correspondence. We will look at how different tools, such as email and chat, facilitate group communications, and how new tools such as Google Wave support our natural way of interacting with each other.
The Media are Dead, Long Live Media
The document discusses Walter J. Ong's ideas about primary orality, literacy, and secondary orality/literacy and how these concepts have evolved with new media technologies. It suggests that secondary literacy exhibited through technologies like social media is dissonant for primarily literate cultures in the same way secondary orality was dissonant for oral cultures. This leads to discussions on how these shifts impact education, associations, and production models.
Simon Tanner
Simon Tanner focuses on the institution question - the importance of collaboration and institutions to business models and sustainability that will underpin digital preservation activity.
Nigel Goldsmith
The Raw camera format offers the photographer greater control over the processing of their images. However this flexibility comes at a price. In this talk Nigel looks at the available formats and the issues concerning preservation.

Research libraries. Future roles and challenges
This document discusses the future roles and challenges of research libraries. It addresses three main topics: open access, article processing charges (APCs) for open access publishing, and university publishing. Regarding APCs, the document notes that cost is the main barrier to open access and discusses efforts to establish a shared service for UK universities to manage open access funds and payments. It also explores opportunities for universities to establish their own publishing operations, like UCL Press. Finally, the document outlines plans for a shared European infrastructure to support open access publishing of monographs across multiple universities.
Centre of Competence in digitisation. Clemens Neudecker
The document discusses the IMPACT project, which is supported by the European Community and coordinated by the National Library of the Netherlands. It proposes establishing a Centre of Competence after IMPACT to support ongoing work in digitization through tools, resources, training, and community support. The Centre would benefit content holders, researchers, and service providers working in digitization.
Europeana Newspapers LFT Infoday Muehlberger
This document discusses optical character recognition (OCR) of historical newspapers. It describes the digitization process, which includes image capturing, text and structure recognition, natural language processing, and content representation. OCR accuracy can be improved through layout analysis, structural metadata extraction, and identifying different content units like articles, advertisements, and entertainment sections. The goal is to make the content and knowledge within digitized newspapers accessible beyond the scanned text.
ENP Belgrade Workshop Project Overview
This document summarizes a workshop on the Europeana Newspapers Project. The project aims to digitize 18 million newspaper pages from 18 partners in 12 European countries. It will refine optical character recognition (OCR) and other metadata for 10 million pages and article segmentation for 2 million pages. The goals are to spread best practices for newspaper digitization, aggregate content for Europeana and The European Library, and encourage more libraries to contribute newspaper content to Europeana. Future work includes processing more content, addressing copyright issues for 20th century papers, and improving accessibility through full text search.

Digitised Content: What universities can learn from publishers and what publi...
The document discusses issues around digitizing cultural and educational content in the UK. It summarizes the JISC Digitization Program which has funded over 50 projects since 2004 to digitize resources. It notes challenges in getting enough users and sustaining digital resources. Publishers tend to be better than universities at focusing on users and long-term plans. The document advocates for more sharing of skills and content across platforms to create a critical mass of accessible digital resources.
The European(a) Newspapers Project
The European Newspapers Project aims to aggregate and refine over 18 million digitized newspaper pages from European libraries to provide to Europeana and The European Library. The project consortium includes 17 national libraries and university libraries from 12 countries. The project will perform optical character recognition (OCR) on 10 million pages and OCR with article segmentation on 2 million pages. It will also conduct named entity recognition. The project seeks to improve access to digitized European newspaper collections through enhanced search capabilities of full newspaper texts. Dissemination activities will help increase awareness and usage of Europeana.

Positioning libraries in the digital preservation landscape
Presentation by Susan Reilly at UNESCO Memory of the World in the Digital Age conference, Vancouver, 2012
LIBER, Europeana and the Europeana Newspapers Project
LIBER is a network of over 425 European research libraries from over 40 countries. It focuses on activities like scholarly communication, digitization, heritage collections, and participating in EU projects. Some examples of EU projects LIBER participates in include Europeana Libraries, which provides open access to 5 million digitized objects. The Europeana Newspapers Project aims to aggregate and refine over 18 million digitized newspaper pages for Europeana and The European Library through activities like optical character recognition and named entity recognition. The project involves 17 partners from 12 countries and seeks to improve access to digitized newspaper collections through Europeana.
Europeana Newspapers Project
The document summarizes the Europeana Newspapers Project, which aims to make over 18 million digitized newspaper pages available online by 2015. An 18-partner consortium is working to refine optical character recognition on the pages, extract articles, and aggregate metadata. The project will provide 10 million newspaper pages with full text. It highlights the Turkish National Library's contribution of over 400,000 pages of Ottoman-script newspapers from 1831-1922, which pose challenges for character recognition software. The project also promotes networking between German and Turkish libraries.

Simon
The document discusses large-scale digitization (LSDI) projects, which involve digitizing over 1 million items. It provides examples of early LSDI projects from the 1980s and 1990s that digitized millions of pages. The document argues that while commercial projects can digitize millions of items very quickly, LSDI projects take on culturally and historically significant content from sources like archives and libraries. It also notes several challenges with LSDI projects, such as workflow issues, equipment and space needs, and ensuring quality amid high volumes. The document recommends conducting feasibility studies and pilots before undertaking large-scale projects.
Kiss Kick Digitisation
Ed looks at best practice for those involved in small digitisation projects with challenging budgets. Considering how to set appropriate, but pragmatic project aims and quality standards and the cheapest and easiest ways of attaining those goals. Reviewing the simple methods that can be used to digitise that still remain within our understandings of 'best practice'. Where can savings be made and where is a limited budget best concentrated.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
