The document provides an overview of the ECLAP project, which aims to create a social service portal and digital archive for performing arts content. It discusses the goals of providing high quality metadata and tools for libraries, education, and access across different devices. The ECLAP system will include services for content aggregation, semantic searching, recommendations, networking and distribution to partners like Europeana.
