Similar to Facilitating Access and Reuse of Research Materials: the Case of The European Library (20)
Linked Data and cultural heritage data: an overview of the approaches from Eu...The European Library
Europeana provides access to digital resources from a wide range of cultural heritage institutions all across Europe. In order to support Europeana, a wide network of organizations collaborates in data integration activities. The European Library plays the role of library-domain aggregator for Europeana, and its activities include also being a gateway to the collections and data of Europe’s national and research libraries, operating on the principle of open data for re-use.
The Europeana Network addresses its data integration challenges by leveraging on Linked Data and the Semantic Web. Its approach to data integration is based in a single data model, the Europeana Data Model, which embraces the Semantic Web principles to integrate the various data models and ontologies used in cultural heritage data.
The paradigm of Linked Data, brings many new challenges to libraries. The generic nature of data representation used in Linked Data, while allowing any community to manipulate the data, also opens many paths for implementation, with no clear optimal choice for libraries. The European Library leverages on its operational infrastructure to make library data available. It maintains The European Library Open Dataset, which is derived from the data aggregated from member libraries, and made available under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal license, in order to promote and facilitate its reuse by any community.
Extensive linking is performed in the preparation of The European Library Open Dataset. It relies on Information Extraction and Data Mining to establish links to external open datasets, covering the most prominent entities types present in library data: persons, corporate bodies, places, concepts, intellectual works and manifestations.
The European Library also applies a linked data approach for intellectual property rights clearance processes, for supporting mass digitization projects. This approach is applied in the within the European ARROW rights infrastructure .
Word Occurrence Based Extraction of Work Contributors from Statements of Resp...The European Library
This paper addresses the identification of all contributors of an intellectual work, when they are recorded in bibliographic data but in unstructured form. National bibliographies are very reliable on representing the first author of a work, but frequently, secondary contributors are represented in the statements of responsibility that are transcribed by the cataloguer from the book into the bibliographic records. The identification of work contributors mentioned in statements of responsibility is a typical motivation for the application of information extraction techniques. This paper presents an approach developed for the specific application scenario of the ARROW rights infrastructure being deployed in several European countries to assist in the determination of the copyright status of works that may not be under public domain. Our approach performed reliably in most languages and bibliographic datasets of at least one million records, achieving precision and recall above 0.97 on five of the six evaluated datasets. We conclude that the approach can be reliably applied to other national bibliographies and languages.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

ARROW – Accessible Registries of
Rights Information and Orphan
Works towards Europeana
ARROW is a tool to facilitate rights
information management in any digitisation
project involving text and image based works
ARROW infrastructure allows to determine
for a work:
• The authors, publishers and other right-holders
• Whether it is orphan
• Whether it is in or out of copyright
• Whether it is still commercially available
17. 17
ARROW - Motivation
To support mass digitisation projects with automated
ways to clear the rights of the books to be digitised.
To identify and clear the rights associated with a book
a complex process needs to be undertaken:
• Determine the work(s) contained within the book
• Identify all the other expressions of the same work(s)
• Identify the publisher(s) and contributor(s) involved
• Determine the dates of publication at work level
• Determine whether that work(s), and not the book itself, is
still in commerce
• If necessary, obtain any licenses from the rights holders or
collective rights organizations

26. The project will also address tools for scholars to interact
with the content from Europeana Research.
The areas to be approached are:
• Accessing and Analysing Data
permitting scholars to download, manipulate and analyse data sets.
• Annotation
allowing researchers to annotate documents and to share
annotations
• Transcription
allowing users to transcribe and interpret documents
• Discovery and Access
ensuring that research material is discoverable, possibly with
integration in other research infrastructures in the field of Digital
Humanities.
Project Europeana Cloud
A new research platform: Europeana
Research
In order to provide the means and tools for digital humanities researchers to exploit the cultural heritage materials, a new research infrastructure, Europeana Research, will be created by extending the currently existing portal of The European Library. Early stages of the project will analyse how academic users locate data and how they perceive the value of the content within Europeana. This analysis will be the basis of the content strategy of the Europeana Research platform, and will also provide the understanding of scholarly workflows which will be supported by Europeana Research. This analysis will be carried out jointly with the DARIAH network of arts and humanities researchers, and with the Council of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA). Academics working in these domains will be the most fertile exploiters of Europeana cultural content, therefore they have key roles to play in shaping the future of Europeana Research. This analysis will allow the identification of tools that allow researchers to manipulate and exploit cultural heritage materials in innovative ways. The project will therefore develop a suite of tools that allows scholars to interact with the content that they require from Europeana Research. The areas to be approached are: Accessing and Analysing Big Data - permitting scholars to download, manipulate and analyse large data sets. Annotation - allowing researchers to annotate documents and to share these annotations Transcription - allowing users to transcribe and interpret documents Discovery and Access - ensuring that services are tailored so that research material is discoverable by the scholarly community, possibly with integration in other research infrastructures in the field of Digital Humanities.
