EUscreenXL is a three-year project co-founded in 2013 under the European Commission CIP ICT-PSP Programme. The project makes Europes audiovisual history freely accessible to a broad audience. It brings online 40 000 audiovisual materials, and will soon add another 20 000 to those already presented on the EUscreen portal.

It aims to connect Europes online audiovisual heritage to Europeana by aggregating a comprehensive body of professional audiovisual content and making it accessible through Europeana, providing it with about 1.000.000 metadata records and giving access to digital content held by European providers.5

#

Of these eight groups of mandatory information, three (edm:dataProvider, edm:provider and edm:aggregatedCHO) will be filled in automatically by the ingestion system and another three (edm:type, edm:rights and dc:type) can be filled in with constant values during the mapping phase. So basically Content Providers only need to export a title and/or a description for each item from their systems, as well as a URL pointing to a page with the full information for each item (including the digital object itself), or a URL pointing directly to a digital representation of each item.10

Ingestion process

#

EUscreenXL back-end tools

#

Mapping tool allows - batch upload of metadata content in xml format- schema mapping (I will show you some details iaw)- quality control of imported data (missing values, malformed data, etc.) and statistics (items imported, number of references for specific values, etc.)- allows also the possibility to preview uploaded items as it will appear in the Europeana website

20

Syntactic and Semantic interoperability is achieved by using a common schema fully mappable to EBUcore.Centralised approach in order to monitor progresses and quality, as well as facilitate the involvement of content providers in all ingestion phases. User friendly web tools that facilitate harvesting, mapping, normalising and revising of metadataOne click metadata publishing to EUscreen portal and to Europeana (via OAI-PMH harvesting service)UPsMetadata tool

#

Which are the strong points of these tools:syntactic and semantic interoperability using a common schema....one botton publishing to the EUscreen portal and seamless publishing of the data to Europeana through a OAI-PMH interface.

Maps providers elements to the EUscreen elements via a GUI.Transforms and stores metadata automatically in EBUcore format.Stores mapping transformations, to allow re-editing at any point, if necessary.Supports value concatenation (many-to-one mappings), string manipulation and conditional mappings.Exports metadata in EBUcore and EDM 5.x and provides the respective XSL.Mapping tool

#

the mapping tool will- map using a graphical web interface native elements form the CP source shema to the EUscreen elements - ....- the mapping can be quite advanced, not only elements matching, but also value concatenation, string manipulation and conditional mappings - ...

Mapping tool

#

On the left side I have my source schema inferred by the submitted xml. On the right side I have the EUscreen schema.clicking on a element from the source schema, I can obtain the following information:- The XML namespace to which this element belongs- The number of times the XPath of this element exists in the imported dataset.- The number of unique values associated with this XPath in the imported dataset- A sample of these values sorted by their frequency of appearance in the imported dataset

Mapping tool

#

As I said, is possible to perform more complex tasks. By clicking on this star I can perform conditional mappings, even in a complex way (adding clauses and sub-clauses)

Mapping tool

#

the output of this mapping process will be an xls file I can re-use for the transformation of my metadata into EUscreen/EBUcore schema.and the output in both formats: EUscreen and EBUcore

This module enables the addition of data that are not in the original metadata (e.g. empty fields, fields that take values from EUscreen thesaurus).

The revision happens on item or group level. (i.e. item level edit to add English description to an item, group level edit to add topic to a group of items in a providers dataset).Annotation tool

#

The EUscreen portal enables educators, researchers and media professionals to find audiovisual content from across Europe. This resource encourages everyone to revisit their own past by exploring material from the very beginnings of television history. EUscreen brings together clips and programmes about politics, fashion, music, lifestyle, cooking, culture and more from the early 20th century to the present day. It allows you to freely explore the most significant events in the 20th and 21st century.

The new EUscreen.eu portal was launched in October 2014 during the EUscreenXL conference in Rome,The new, re-developed EUscreen portal will in the future offer users various tools to allow for the reuse the content; create video posters, virtual exhibitions, search a wide range of content databases, allow for multi-screen functionality and to facilitate the use of videos and photos in the classroom.

The EUscreen portal is also optimized for mobile devices.

Virtual Exhibitions

#

As an example of the richness of the content gathered on euscreen.eu, 23 exhibitions were produced in 2012. Curators, archivists and researchers on the project selected content to develop exhibitions around specific themes. Virtual Exhibitions include light hearted explorations of food and culture, as well as more detailed explorations of more serious issues such as the Velvet Revolution or the development of Romania. They cover historical events, political debates and everyday life in Europe.

VE was short-listed for the FIAT/IFTA Award in 2013.

The Video Exhibitions can be accessed through oldportal.euscreen.eu/exhibitions.html36

Video Collections

#

Nowadays Video Collections that showcase the width of EUscreen content are made regularly and can be found on the blog, on blog.euscreen.eu/video-collections37

Video Poster

#

The EUscreen publication tools will be part of MyEUscren functionality and will allow users to create and share collections of videos. Users will be able to comment and tell their stories interactively through a simple and intuitive tool for the creation of video posters, by themselves or in collaboration with others. The goal is to enable users to publish their own collections on the portal, to collaboratively view, discuss, comment on, and tag videos related to a specific topic.

Users will be able to use any EUscreen, Youtube or Vimeo video, and to shape the layout and colour of their posters.

Users will also have their own MyEUscreen page where they can save their favourite content, and share it with others.38

Mission: Engage Users and Content Providers

#

The WITH tool is an application geared towards researchers and professionals which provides access to content and metadata from a multitude of sources, including collections beyond the EUscreen portal, such as Europeana, Youtube, Digital Public Library of America, and Flickr. WITH is also a curational tool that will enable users to browse diverse collections, bookmark, and present their desired content.Its still under development by NTUA.

Historiana

Offers a transnational approach to the past

Encourages multiperspectivity in history

Promotes active learning and historical thinking

#

The EUROCLIO programme Historiana- Your Portal to the Past is an on-line educational multimedia tool that offers students multi-perspective, cross-border and comparative historical sources to supplement their national history textbooks. Historianamight be considered as a digital alternative to a European textbook, however the website does not attempt to present a comprehensive story of Europe and its relationship with the rest of the world. It offers a framework for comparing and contrasting the impact on and responses by Europes nations to a range of different events and developments which have shaped the world from the distant past to modern times.45

VIEW Journal

http://journal.euscreen.eu

#

VIEW, Journal of European Television History and Culture is the first peer-reviewed multimedia e-journal in the field of television studies. Offering an international platform for outstanding academic research on television, the journal has an interdisciplinary profile and acts both as a platform for critical reflection on the cultural, social and political role of television in Europes past and present as well as a multi-media platform for the circulation and use of digitized audiovisual material.

The journals main aim is to function as a showcase for a creative and innovative use of digitized television material in scholarly work, and to inspire a fruitful discussion between audiovisual heritage institutions (especially television archives) and a broader community of television experts and amateurs.There are two issues published per year.

The latest VIEW Journal is titled Archaeologies of Tele-Visions and Realities and presents a number of archaeological inquiries into the multiple pasts of tele-visions, and explores television as a technical infrastructure, political and social institution, cultural phenomenon and business model. The journal can be accessed throughhttp://journal.euscreen.eu.

Freedom Express Campaign

#

EUscreenXL sees a strong potential for its future dissemination activities performed in collaboration with third parties institutions, including creative sector representatives. The project has decided to start opening its archives more to general public (and at the same time try out a business model pilot) by joining a multinational Freedom Express project. The project is organised by European Network Remembrance and Solidarity and high-profile European institutions (Europeana amongst them) and is designed as a reminder of the fundamental meaning of the revolutions of 1989 for the identity of Europeans living on both sides of the former Iron Curtain. The travelling exhibition, called Freedom Express, has been shown in Warsaw, Budapest, Brussels, Berlin and Vienna, and next stop is in Bucharest in the fall of 2015.

EUscreen is contributing to the exhibition by preparing a short minute video collage made out of the content from 6 EUscreen partners CT, RTV SLO, DW, NAVA and NInA illustrating the ground-breaking events of 1989 and the period of Soviet domination in Central and Eastern Europe.

Participation in an international project of this scale gives EUscreen the unique opportunity of being present in an exceptional international media campaign involving leading institutions and media representatives from the region, and improves the capabilities of the Euscreen Network to perform joint actions. 49

Keeping the network together - the workshops

Content Partners Workshop in Vilnius

#

EUscreenXL understand its great potential of being a network and a unique platform for exchange of expertise and professional experience between European partners. One of the benefits are most definitely face to face meetings.

Already several workshops have taken place some of them focused on the technical aspects of the cooperation within the project while others addressed legal and user-oriented issues.

On May 13 2014, EUscreenXL and the Europeana Foundation organized a strategic workshop on the impact of copyright and ensuing issues for audiovisual archive collections. In this dedicated workshop, EUscreenXL presented its research on IPR and linked it to the most current events in EU policy on copyright. The focal point of the workshop was a dedicated exercise in which we aimed to outline and prioritize the policy actions to be undertaken for the audiovisual domain on a European level.

1st EUscreenXL Conference took place on October 30-31 2014 in Casa del Cinema in Villa Borghese, Rome (Italy). During the two days we discussed the current challenges that audiovisual archives and broadcasters encounter when engaging users. The formulas for a functional web presence, approaches to different types of users, and the set-up of sustainable communities with online content became our focus. This conference aimed to lift the veil on the knowledge of how and why users interact with digital resources.

On the 19th and 20th of March representatives from EUscreenXLs content partners met at the Lithuanian Central State Archives (LCVA) in Vilnius with technical and research partners as well as Europeana to examine and address practical issues and opportunities relating to the supply, delivery, and re-use of content and metadata for the EUscreenXL project.
