Europe: Eastern Librairies Come to Brussels; More About Europeana

From the Article:

Europeana, the European Digital Library, is the aggregator of European cultural content. Interoperability is at the heart of what Europeana is doing: integrating format types across borders, across domains and between institutions. Museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual (AV) collections have different histories, user-groups and purposes. These are reflected in their diverse approaches to cataloguing and the development of varying standards. The result is that delivering all content types in the same online space requires a commitment to working collaboratively and sharing knowledge across long-established professional boundaries.

[Snip]

EuropeanaLocal aims to make digital content from regional and local museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual institutions interoperable and accessible through Europeana and other service providers. EuropeanaLocal will ensure that the approaches, standards and tools developed by Europeana are adopted widely across the cultural heritage sector, thereby supporting the interoperability of content within Europeana beyond that which is held by purely national level institutions.

EuropeanaLocal, which runs from 1 June 2008 until May 2011, is funded under the European Commission’s eContentPlus Programme and co-ordinated by MDR Partners from the UK. The project consortium consists of 32 partners from 27 countries across Europe. There will be no portal by the end of the project; all material will be made accessible through the main Europeana interface.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
