Publishing Europe’s Television Heritage on the Web: The EUscreen Project

Abstract

The EUscreen project represents the European television archives and acts as a domain aggregator for Europeana, Europe’s digital library. The man motivation for it is to provide unified access to a representative collection of television programs, secondary sources and articles, and in this way to allow students, scholars and the general public to study the history of television in its wider context. The main goals of EUscreen are to (i) develop a state-of-the-art workflow for content ingestion, (ii) define content selection and IPR management methodology, and (iii) provide a front-end that accommodates requirements from several user groups.
