Europeana Research, a platform for bringing Europeana metadata and content to researchers in the humanities and

social sciences

Europeana Research fits into Europeana’s broader strategy, building on data in Europeana Cloud

Image of core design for Europeana

What ‘Services and Tools for Reseachers ’ told us – tools need careful engagement with target audience to work well

What ‘Researching User Needs’ told us – different disciplines have different approaches to tools

Europeana Research not in a position to provide tailored tools for each different topic

Rather, it will allow data in Europeana Cloud to be downloaded directly

And allowing third parties to build tools on top of that data

Platform not a Portal

Europeana Labs – data and content from Europeana Cloud that is available for commercial re-use

Europeana Research – data and content from Europeana Cloud that is available for non-commercial re-use

Next Steps – Aggregating metadata and content from partners and non partners for non-commerical reuse

Next Steps – Second round of experimental tools- building a music score comparator

Next Steps – Actually building the Europeana Research platform.
