In the beautiful framework of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, on 27-28 September was held the kick off meeting for the Europeana DSI4 project, with participation from all the partners. For Photoconsortuum, president Fred Truyen and Vicepresident Antonella Fresa joined in for a frank discussion and good planning about project activities.
The DSI-4 is the fourth iteration of a strong consortium with a proven track record in creating access, interoperability, visibility and use of European cultural heritage in the target markets addressed by Europeana platform and site(s). Benefitting from a continual collection of data, and feedback from users the consortium has an evidence-based strategy towards the five markets of the European Citizens, Education, Research, Creative Industries and Cultural Heritage Institutions.
PHOTOCONSORTIUM, in its role of the expert hub for photography, is again involved in the project to:
– prosecute the action for metadata quality improvement of existing datasets in Europeana portal
– in addition to this, maintainance of the Europeana Photography and Migration thematic collections will be continued.
