EUROPEAN COLLECTED LIBRARY OF ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE

Description du projet


Digital Libraries : European Digital Library aggregating digital content in Europeana
ECLAP - making accessible via Europeana a large amount of performing arts heritage material.
Sophocles, Terence, Shakespeare, Calderon, Molière, Pirandello, Beckett, Brecht, Dario Fo; the richness and value of the European performing arts heritage is unquestionable. While such content is now being digitised and published online, access still remains fractured and scattered. Furthermore, there is no coordination between the digital libraries and theatre domains. ECLAP will better this status quo by building a network of theatrical institutions, archives and umbrella organisations and making the performing arts content available through Europeana.

Sophocles, Terence, Shakespeare, Calderon, Molière, Pirandello, Beckett, Brecht, Dario Fo; the richness and value of the European performing arts heritage is unquestionable. While content is now being digitised and published online, access still remains fractured and scattered. Furthermore, there is no coordination between the digital libraries and theatre domains. ECLAP will better this status quo by building a network of theatrical institutions, archives and umbrella organisations (i.e. EDL Foundation). The cores of the best practice network consist of 18 partners from 13 EU countries. A substantial body of digitised content (more than 1 million items) will be selected and made accessible via Europeana and ECLAP. Content selection policy is defined by leading academics and includes managing legal aspects and alignment with Europeana Licensing. Complementary content will be provided by either linking to external sources and by submissions from end-users; notably scholars, students, curators and fans of performance art. Best practice guidelines will be drafted in targeted working groups and disseminated widely. They cover key areas such as mapping of relevant metadata standards, integration of end-user contributions, semantic enrichment and the implementation of the model to define the relation between conceptual entities. The technical infrastructure is based on the well-tested components (the AXMEDIS platform) and open standards as XML, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL and SKOS. Web Services APIs allow third parties and applications to access the ECLAP services. Partners also active in the EuropeanaV1.0 project establish full integration with Europeana. Multilingual access will be provided in at least 12 languages by machine translation and by taking advantage of linked open data sources. Next to providing freely available content, ECLAP is committed to define and evaluate business models for specific domains, notably Leisure and Education.
