In this presentation Olaf Janssen - Project Manager at The European Library - introduces the national libraries of Europe.
He outlines the history, organisational and technical foundations of The European Library, the collaborative platform and website of the 48 national libraries of Europe.
He outlines the benefits of collaboration between these institutions and explains how The European Library has established technical and metadata interoperability across Europe.
He discusses the ingredients for a successful European Digital Library (to be called Europeana) and assess the current state of play and the remaining challenges.
The conclusions are:
* Common and open standards for access and interoperability are essential for a European Digital Library
* The European Library is the forerunner
* Building a European Digital Library is a much a political & social game as it is a technological
* The willingness to collaborate is key!!

Building The European Digital Library - An Insider’s Point of View Olaf Janssen
In December 2004 Google announced its plans to digitise and publish millions of books from 5 prestigious Anglo-American academic libraries by the year 2015. Initiated by French fears that Google's initiative could create a bias towards Anglo-American language and culture, Europe quickly united to mobilise funds for the digitisation, preservation and accessibility of European cultural heritage and the creation of a European Digital Library, including 6M digital works from libraries, muse-ums and archives by 2010.
Today The European Library (TEL) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources of Europe's national libraries. It offers free federated searching and delivers digital objects - some free, some priced.
The EU stressed that the European Digital Library should not be constructed from scratch, but build on existing initia-tives such as TEL, because TEL has a long history of successfully implementing and using some of the vital ingredients for the European Digital Library. These include A) internal & external collaboration and cooperative organisational networks, B) a technological platform based on creating, maintaining and conforming to common standards in i) data harvesting and ac-cess protocols, ii) metadata and iii) collection descriptions and C) multilingual access.
The reader will 1) learn what it takes to build a pan-European Digital Library, 2) find out about the history and future of this project and C) discover that this a win-win-win project: for its users, for its builders, and for world knowledge.

Verbinden van bibliotheekcollecties met Wikimedia-projecten, KNVI-congres 201...Olaf Janssen
‘Samenwerking met Wikimedia levert een bibliotheek veel op’
Hoe kan je als instelling het bereik van je collecties vergroten door samenwerking met Wikimedia? Welke mogelijkheden zijn er om bibliotheekcollecties te verbinden met Wikidata en Wikimedia Commons? En waarom is het zo ontzettend leuk om samen te werken met de Wikigemeenschap? Olaf Janssen en Ursula Oberst vertellen hier meer over aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de praktijk.
Olaf Janssen, Wikimedia-coördinator bij de KB, en Ursula Oberst, informatiespecialist bij het ASCL in Leiden, willen hun collega’s graag inspireren en enthousiasmeren om samen te werken met Wikimedia. De meerwaarde is namelijk groot. Olaf: ‘Door de collecties, diensten, data en mensen van de bibliotheek te combineren met Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons en Wikidata vergroten we ons publieksbereik enorm. Die hebben namelijk veel meer bezoekers dan onze eigen websites. Daarnaast is de samenwerking ontzettend leuk en inspirerend. Wij geven onze collecties en data open en vrij beschikbaar aan de Wikigemeenschap en zij gaan hier vervolgens mee aan de slag.’
Olaf en Ursula beginnen hun sessie op Smart Humanity met een korte introductie op de Wikiwereld, waarbij onder andere aandacht is voor Wikimedia Commons en Wikidata. Vervolgens zal Olaf een aantal voorbeelden geven van samenwerking van de KB met Wikimedia en de impact daarvan. Zo heeft de KB meerdere beeldcollecties gedoneerd aan Wikimedia Commons die veel gebruikt worden. Olaf sluit af met een kijkje in de toekomst: ‘Er zijn veel mogelijkheden voor toekomstige samenwerking. We onderzoeken bijvoorbeeld hoe de KB datasets volgens de principes van linked open data voor Wikimedia beschikbaar kan stellen. Daarnaast is er een mooie ontwikkeling gaande waarbij Wikimedia Commons en Wikidata aan elkaar worden gekoppeld. Er is een app ontwikkeld waarmee gebruikers op de afbeeldingen kunnen aangeven wat erop staat en dit wordt vervolgens gekoppeld aan Wikidata. Dit biedt veel opties en is bovendien zeer leuk om in een verloren half uurtje te doen.’
Ursula vertelt over de samenwerking van het ASCL met Wikimedia. Zij richt zich op twee aspecten van samenwerking: het verrijken van de catalogus met externe informatie en het verbinden van de catalogus met andere bibliotheekcatalogi. Het ASCL heeft zijn thesaurus in Wikidata geïntegreerd en Ursula licht toe wat er bij deze integratie komt kijken. Daarnaast heeft het ASCL een aantal webdossiers verrijkt met Wiki-elementen. In deze webdossiers, die handelen over een bepaald onderwerp, zijn data en afbeeldingen van Wikidata en Wikimedia Commons gebruikt. Wie geïnteresseerd is in een voorproefje, kan hier vast een kijkje nemen: https://www.ascleiden.nl/content/web-dossiers.

Beelddonaties: enkele reis of retour? Studiemiddag Wiki Wetenschappers SAE 26...Olaf Janssen
De Koninklijke Bibliotheek doet regelmatig beelddonaties aan Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Koninklijke_Bibliotheek)
In dit verhaal (40 min) ga ik in op 4 gevolgen van deze beelddonaties:
1. Verbeterde zichtbaarheid van KB-beeldcollecties
2. Commercieel hergebruik
3. Het aantrekken van externe expertise uit de Wikigemeenschap
4. Het via Commons en Wikidata creeeren van nieuwe zoek- en vindmogelijkheden van KB-beeldmateriaal dat op de eigen sites van de KB niet mogelijk is.

Using LOD to crowdsource Dutch WW2 underground newspapers on Wikipedia - DCH,...Olaf Janssen
During the second World War some 1.300 illegal newspapers were issued by the Dutch resistance.
Right after the war as many of these newspapers as possible were physically preserved by Dutch memory institutions. They were described in formal library catalogues, that were digitized and brought online in the ‘90s. In 2010 the national collection of underground newspapers – some 200.000 pages – was full-text digitized in Delpher, the national aggregator for historical full-texts.
Having created online metadata and full-texts for these publications, the third pillar ''context'' was still missing, making it hard for people to understand the historic background of the newspapers.
We are currently running a project to tackle this contextual problem. We started by extracting contextual entries from a hard-copy standard work on Dutch illegal press and combined these with data from the library catalogue and Delpher into a central LOD triple store.
We then created links between historically related newspapers and used Named Entity Recognition to find persons, organisations and places related to the newspapers. We further semantically enriched the data using DBPedia.
Next, using an article template to ensure uniformity and consistency, we generated 1.300 Wikipedia article stubs from the database.
Finally, we sought collaboration with the Dutch Wikipedia volunteer community to extend these stubs into full encyclopedic articles.
In this way we can give every newspaper its own Wikipedia article, making these WW2 materials much more visible to the Dutch public, over 80% of whom uses Wikipedia.
At the same time the triple store can serve as a source for alternative applications, like data visualizations. This will enable us to visualize connections and networks between underground newspapers, as they developed over time between 1940 and 1945.

Joining forces with Wikipedia reasons, experiences and impact - Sharing is Ca...Olaf Janssen
In this talk Olaf Janssen explains how and why joining forces with Wikipedia fits in the bigger open data strategies of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek. Starting from a brief historic overview of its Wikipedian-in-Residence project in 2013-14, he not only explains how the KB has been collaborating with Wikipedia and its volunteer community over the last couple of years, but also which positive impacts it has had for the exposure, distribution and reuse of KB's collections.
Sharing is Caring – Brussels Extension: Opening up with Wikimedia took place on 20 June at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in Brussels. This conference introduced the Belgian heritage sector to the possible applications of the various Wikimedia platforms for opening up digital collections. The conference showcased examples from museums, libraries and archives from Belgium and abroad. See

Digitale Toegankelijkheid in de praktijk - Deel 1. Koninklijke Bibliotheek, 2...Olaf Janssen
Een website toegankelijk maken voor blinden: dat los je toch gewoon op met techniek? Nou: ja, maar dat is maar een klein deel van het verhaal. En een goed toegankelijke website houdt rekening met meer doelgroepen; óók jij hebt er waarschijnlijk baat bij.
In deze kennissessie (23 maart 2017) ontdek je welke aspecten er aan toegankelijkheid zitten. Olaf Janssen (Koninklijke Bibliotheek) en Sander van Lambalgen (extern adviseur Website as a Service (WaaS)) maken de reikwijdte van dit onderwerp inzichtelijk met brede achtergrondinformatie én concrete praktijkvoorbeelden. Grote kans dat jouw dagelijkse werkzaamheden ook baat hebben bij een beter begrip van toegankelijkheid.
Deze sessie was in het bijzonder gericht op projectleiders, product-owners, dienstcoördinatoren, redacteuren, ontwikkelaars en testers van de KB. Sander en Olaf zetten je aan het denken over toegankelijkheid en jouw invloed daarop.
De slides bevatten alleen het eerste deel (van Olaf) van deze kennissessie, de slides van Sander (Deel 2) zijn dus niet inbegrepen.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

14. The European Library = hybrid portal = federated search tool
Overall goal of The European Library = COLLABORATION
Low implementation barrier for libraries is key!!
Different libraries demand different access protocols to access their
collections
TEL infrastructure uses 4 protocols :
OAI-PMH, Z39.50, SRU, OpenURL
The European Library portal queries
1 central index (90 harvested collections, OAI-PMH)
160 remote databases (Z39.50 & SRU)
2.2.A Access protocols in The European
Library
15. Techniques / protocols used (I)
1. OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for
Metadata Harvesting)
OAI enabled collections have their
metadata harvested, indexed and stored
in TEL central index
Queries in these collections are queries

3. Z39.50
Z39.50 enabled collections are queried on-the-fly via a
Z39.50/SRU gateway
Z39.50/SRU gateway = translator (housed on TEL server)
• Translates SRU requests to Z39.50 session vv.
• Translates TEL portal search language (CQL) into search
language of Z39.50 target.
• Converts record format of Z39.50 target into TEL metadata
format
• Does character set conversions (Unicode)

54. BUT…
A successful European Digital
Library needs more ingredients ……
Look at 7 of them…. challenges
3. Ingredients for a successful European
Digital Library
55. Challenge 1
Mass-digitisation of as many materials as
possible
Challenge 2
Long-time digital preservation of these digitised
materials
3. Ingredients for a successful European
Digital LibraryChallenges to tackle (1,2)
56. Mass-digitisation & preservation
Problem
Only 4% of content in The European Library are digital objects
Even lower %-tage is digitally preserved
Solutions
Mass-digitisation & preservation programmes Europe-wide network of
centres of competence
Hurdles
1. Organisational : create synergies, avoid duplication of effort, create public-
private collaboration.
2. Content selection : choose from 1000s kms of printed materials; Ms hours of
film
3. Technical : lower costs for digitisation & preservation while maintaining a
high quality.
4. Legal : deal with the copyright issues
3. Ingredients for a successful European
Digital LibraryChallenges to tackle (1,2)
57. Challenge 3
More partners, esp. museums, archives, AV
Challenge 4
Multilingual search & retrieval facilities
Searching in German, finding texts in Spanish
Start with controlled vocabularies (subject headings), uncontrolled
vocabularies/free texts will be next step.
Challenge 5
OAI + central index : prefer OAI-PMH + central index over Z39.50 or SRU
remote collections
- speed
- sorting
- ranking
- de-duplication
- virtual collections
3. Ingredients for a successful European
Digital LibraryChallenges to tackle (3,4,5)
58. Challenge 6
Organisational models
Ownership / governance
Funding models
Sustainability
Challenge 7
Copyright issues, publishers
All of these challenges are addressed in a series of EU co-funded
projects 2007-2011

59. Summary
Common and open standards for access and
interoperability are essential for a European Digital
Library
The European Library is the forerunner
Building a European Digital Library is a much a
political & social game as it is a technological
Willingness to collaborate is key!!

Digital Library
A service for all European national libraries to provide access to their deep web content (catalogs and collections) via one central multi-lingual web-interface.
For Libraries:
Alternative point of access to their collections.
A means of exposing a wider audience to their collections
Amongst libraries:
A platform for collaboration
For users:
A convenient point of access
A one stop shop where they can search multiple libraries from different countries simultaneously

And here it is
Version 1.2
This is the current version since last week. Where we have kept a simple user face, in line with user wishes but have tried to give more ways of accessing the information i.e. to make the shop window more representative of the goods inside. Again searching for content is the dominant function. It has clear navigation with tabs at the top – and you can find via the treasures the other members of CENL and you can change the interface language

The European Library is a hybrid portal that runs in the browser.
Different libraries demand different communication protocols or techniques to access their collections.
The TEL portal is a very friendly piece of web development.
It accommodates the different libraries by using several overlapping protocols and techniques to connect with all the different libraries and their collections.
OAI
OAI-PMH protocol developed by the Open Archives Initiative
Used to “harvest” or “collect” the metadata from data providers – in our case the repositories of the national libraries.
The data is transported as XML over the HTTP protocol layer and then indexed and stored on one of our servers
SRU is a standard search protocol for Internet search queries.
It utilizes CQL (Common Query Language) for representing queries.
The results from these queries is also transported as xml over the HTTP protocol layer.
SRU is seen as the replacement for the much older – pre web - protocol Z39.50. And even though Z39.50 is by internet standards considered ancient, it is still the protocol most used by libraries.
The loading of the central index is done with OAI-PMH
A very basic illustration of the method is shown here. And I mean very basic just to illustrate the principle for those not familiar with it.
A connection is made from our server holding the central index to OAI enabled partner libraries.Their meta-data is harvested and stored in our central index which is then used to answer queries concerning their collections.
In order to accommodate Z39.50 systems, a gateway was developed.
Two types of gateways:
CENTRAL – running on the TEL server
LOCAL – running on the partner library server
Gateway translates SRU query to a Z39.50 session
Not only does it translate the SRU into a Z39.50 session, it is also able to:
Do character set conversions
Add additional information not originally present in the Z39.50 record.

AJAX is a catchy term that was first coined in 2005 by Jesse James Garret (an information architect and founder of Adaptive Path)
Stands for: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
For the last couple of years this technique has been closely associated with the whole WEB 2.0 idea. But in actual fact the use of the techniques that fall under this name have been around for quite some time.
The technique involves a combination of the following:
XHTML and CSS for marking up and styling information
The DOM (Document Object Model) to dynamically display and interact with the information presented
XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data between the client and server.
It allows for content on a webpage to be updated without having to reload the page.
changing the display language of the interface
Executing federated searches across chosen collections and updating the pages with returned results.
Loading the portal.
User enters URL
As the portal loads, a script executes a request back to the server for two xml files – This is done with the AJAX method mentioned earlier.
One is the xml file contains the translation terms. With this file loaded into the browser the user can switch the language in which the interface is rendered.
More importantly for searching is the collections file. This file contains all the collection descriptions.
As the portal is loading, it uses this file to build up javascript objects which contain the basic information to let the portal send queries to them.
So now the portal has the intelligence to see if a collection is accessed via our central index, via a remote SRU server, or through a Z39.50 gateway.
