Two challenges for the Europeana
ecosystem
![Page 3: Europeana Cloud - Alastair Dunning - November 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c69a654a795917528b4577/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1) Making metadata richer 2) Getting more users of that
metadata (and the related content)
![Page 4: Europeana Cloud - Alastair Dunning - November 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c69a654a795917528b4577/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Europeana Cloud aims to address these challenges

Europeana Cloud project
tries to rethink this situation
Testing and building a shared infrastructure -

These three aggregators are piloting the Europeana Cloud system
The European Library – 120m items of bibliographic records, 20m metadata items *
Polish Digital Library Federation – 1.5m metadata items
Europeana – 30m metadata items
* - metadata items refer to metadata records that points to a digitised object

Europeana Cloud allows members to
Upload metadata to a shared systemDefine who can use that metadata and in what ways
(download, edit, delete, annotate)

Questions to be asked: Does eCloud make it easier to
share data, especially with Europeana?

archaeology)

Different projects but using same technical infrastructure
![Page 29: Europeana Cloud - Alastair Dunning - November 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c69a654a795917528b4577/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
LoCloud Tools and services (MINT, microservices etc) could be deployed in Europeana Cloud
![Page 30: Europeana Cloud - Alastair Dunning - November 2013](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54c69a654a795917528b4577/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
eCloud can provide long-term post-project structure to maintain the data and services
