Making cultural content available for everyone via mass digitisation is still a challenge for the European ALM (Archives, libraries and museums) sector. Most European memory institutions intend to digitise their whole collection and develop projects for the attractive presentation of their online available electronic content.
The creative industry expects content that is ready for remix and reuse even for business purposes. Based on the experiences of the meetings of Member States Expert Group on Digitisation and Digital Preservation the lecture will summarize the main factors that challenge the realization of this aim and outline possible solutions.
I will present the business needs (what creative reuse means), the legal barriers (how existing copyright rules make creative reuse difficult), the memory institutions’ perspective and some landmark projects from all over Europe that makes it clear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
Presentation "Digitisation at KU Leuven University Libraries: Towards consolidation" by Nele Gabriëls, KU Leuven, at IMPACT Members' Meeting 2017. http://bib.kuleuven.be/ub
Address to the conference ‘Museums in the Digital Sphere: Opportunities and Challenges’ held on 6 October 2017 at the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany.
The event provided an opportunity to analyse the needs and wishes of museum visitors in the 21st century and to open up topics such as digital collections, transparency, and open access to public discussion. It addressed technical restrictions (databases, structures, resources) and legal limitations (copyright, image rights) as well as the opportunities created by interlinking multiple collections in comprehensive platforms such as the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (German Digital Library – DDB), ‘bavarikon’, Europeana and introduce initiatives such as #openGLAM.
Douglas presented Europeana, a unique digital resource where thousands of cultural institutions – from regional archives to national museums – share their collections online. Douglas emphasised the benefits of working with Europeana's community of 1700+ digital heritage and tech experts to expand and improve access to our shared cultural heritage. He outlined the opportunities for cultural institutions to showcase their collections with Europeana and to engage citizens within and beyond Europe.

Europeana Cloud – New Spaces for Sharing Content
Europeana Cloud is a Best Practice Network, coordinated by The European Library, designed to establish a cloud-based system for Europeana and its aggregators.
Lasting from 2013 to 2015, Europeana Cloud will provide new content, new metadata, a new linked storage system, new tools and services for researchers and a new platform - Europeana Research. Content providers and aggregators across the European information landscape urgently need a cheaper, more sustainable infrastructure that is capable of storing both metadata and content.
Researchers require a digital space where they can undertake innovative exploration and analysis of Europe's digitised content. Europeana needs to get closer to the target of 30 million items by 2015. Europeana Cloud meets these needs.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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.

@alastairdunning, alastair.dunning AT kb.nl
2. •Europeana – http://europeana.eu
•26m (Feb 2013) metadata records from 2,200 European galleries, museums, archives and
libraries
•Books, newspapers, journals, letters, diaries, archival papers... Paintings, maps, drawings,
photographs... Music, spoken word, radio broadcasts...
•Only links to digitised content; 31 languages
•Started in 2007
•Based in National Library of Netherlands
3. •The European Library - http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/
•Centrally indexes 115m bibliographic records, plus 16m digital links
•48 National Libraries of Europe
•Plus 19 research libraries
•Links to digitised content and bibliographic records at libraries
•Started in 1990s - ‘Mother’ of Europeana. Now aggregates content for Europeana
•Also hosted in National Library of Netherlands
4. * Plus Projects
• Europeana Cloud - shared infrastructure for cultural heritage
• Europeana Newspapers - improving and aggregating digitised newspapers
• Arrow+ - facilitating copyright clearance
• Cendari - archival descriptions related to World War One and Medival
manuscripts
5. •Plenty of successful projects highlighted at
previous SEEDI conferences
•This includes some highlights from previous
Festivals of Croatian Digitisation
9. •The ongoing sustainability of digitised
resources ... remains a problem.
•Difficulties in maintaining hardware, and
adding new content and functionality to
existing resources
•Additionally, users are confronted with too
many isolated websites. Often, digitised
resources don’t achieve the exposure and
user numbers they could do.
10. •In the UK, this is illustrated by example of
two digitisation programmes from 2000s
•The Resource Enhancement Scheme and the
New Opportunities Fund Digitisation
Programme.
•See Digitising the past: next steps for public-
sector digitisation., 2009 In: Digital
Information - Order Or Anarchy? Facet
Publishing - http://eprints.rclis.org/18048/
11. •So, what are the methods for increasing
usage of digital resources?
•After digitising, what next ?
12. 1) Ensure your web content is found by
Google.
The digital library JSTOR reckons it usage
increased by 20% when Google could index
JSTOR content
Having stable web addresses (URLs) was vital
13. 2) Have clear licencing.
Can a user use the digitised content in
school ? In a university lecture? In Apple
iTunes ? Can it be edited ? Can it be used
commerically ? How can it be re-used
14. Europeana wants as many of the digitised objects it links to to have
clear rights information.
15. The British
Library gave
its medieval
manuscripts
images a
Public
Domain
mark, thus
allowing the
maximum
reusage
16. 3) Make accessing the data and content as
easy as possible
Is it easy for a user to get hold of the data ?
Particularly, is the metadata easy to
download? Is it well documented ?
17. The Rijksstudio (part of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam) allows easy
non-commercial usage of high resolution images, and engaging tools to
help with that
18. 4) Build an API
Allow others to build tools on top of your
content
“The best idea for your using your content will
be thought of by someone else”
20. Europeana now offers its API for any usage. As of 2013, there are over
70 documented uses.
The European Library also offers an API
21.
22. 6) Network. Work with organisations like
Europeana and The European Library (TEL)
For libraries, membership of TEL offers chance
to expose content and participate in new
projects
23. * Current Projects
•Europeana Cloud - shared infrastructure for cultural
heritage
•Europeana Newspapers - improving and
aggregating digitised newspapers
•Arrow+ - facilitating copyright clearance
•Cendari - archival descriptions related to World
War One and Medieval manuscripts
24. *New Project Ideas
•Digitising material related to twentieth-century
history
•Connecting usage data, repositories of OA material,
and research data
•Other topics that can connect South East Europe
libraries, users (and other organisations)
•Work undertaken with EIFL
•If you are interested, please contact me,
alastair.dunning AT kb.nl
25. * To summarise
•Digitising and creating a website are not enough
•Clear licencing, APIs, easy download and access are
all needed
•You need to offer our users different routes to
your content
•Thanks !
26. * Other useful comments made during Questions
• Need for good curators in selecting and
contextualsing content
• Explore possibilities for iPad and other mobile
devices
• Build networks with teachers and lecturers to
increase integration of content in education
