Europeana: um projeto de digitalização e democratização do patrimônio cultural europeu

Uma das mais expressivas aparições no cenário do mundo digitalizado foi protagonizada pela Europeana, um projeto dirigido pela Fundação para a Biblioteca Digital Europeia, lançado em 2005 e aberto ao público em novembro de 2008, com o objetivo de disponibilizar o patrimônio cultural e científico dos 27 Estados-membros, em 29 línguas, com uma abrangência que vai da pré-história à atualidade. Com muitas referências ao Brasil, constitui uma rede de arquivo de grande interesse para a pesquisa histórica e cultural sobre o país. A análise das características técnicas econômicas e culturais da Europeana pode contribuir para a orientação e o fortalecimento do crescente processo de criação e socialização de bibliotecas digitais no Brasil. 

Bulgariana: A Bulgarian Aggregator to Europeana

Europeana is the European virtual museum which was established in 2008. Its ambition is to create a common space allowing to access the cultural heritage of Europe from a single portal, by creating a network in all European countries. To make the initiative technically possible, Europeana has built a technological infrastructure to aggregate metadata from the different Europeana countries and memory institutions, while keeping the original digitized content on their sites. This paper presents Bulgariana, the Bulgarian chapter of Europeana. It is part of the technical infrastructure of Europeana, an established technical aggregator of Bulgarian cultural heritage content. It uses the two Europeana representation models ESE and EDM. Bulgariana is also a community building initiative putting in place a Bulgarian wide network of professionals and institutions working together to preserve and present Bulgarian cultural heritage around the world.

Europeana Creative. EDM Endpoint. Custom Views

The paper discusses the Europeana Creative project which aims to facilitate re-use of cultural heritage metadata and content by the creative industries. The paper focuses on the contribution of Ontotext to the project activities. The Europeana Data Model (EDM) is further discussed as a new proposal for structuring the data that Europeana will ingest, manage and publish. The advantages of using EDM instead of the current ESE metadata set are highlighted. Finally, Ontotext’s EDM Endpoint is presented, based on OWLIM semantic repository and SPARQL query language. A user-friendly RDF view is presented in order to illustrate the possibilities of Forest - an extensible modular user interface framework for creating linked data and semantic web applications.

Estudos sobre o Brasil Colonial: arquivos e fontes

The information technology and the increasing interest in the American Latin studies, especially about Brazil, are the objective of these reflections. In the research about the colonial period in Brazil, a group of works, systematized and divulged by electronic means, beyond the usual sources – Portuguese, Italian and Brazilian Universities and Institutes – are from Europe and North America, and its access is facilitated by the worldwide network. Platforms and collections such as Europeana and others less known constitute important sources to the studies of this field. We will comment here some fundamentals to contribute to the subject sources of colonial Brazil.

JABLE: compilar, preservar y divulgar el legado hemerográfico canario

Cultural Heritage Online? Settle It in the Country of Origin of the Work

This article examines the conditions under which a system of extended collective licensing (ECL) for the use of works contained in the collections of cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) participating in Europeana could function within a cross-border basis. ECL is understood as a form of collective rights management whereby the application of freely negotiated copyright licensing agreements between a user and a collective management organisation (“CMO”), is extended by law to non-members of the organisation. ECL regimes have already been put in place in a few Member States and so far, all have the ability to apply only on a national basis. This article proposes a mechanism that would allow works licensed under an ECL system in one territory of the European Union to be made available in all the territories of the Union. The proposal rests on the statutory recognition of the “country of origin” principle, as necessary and sufficient territory for the negotiation and application of an ECL solution for the rights clearance of works contained in the collection of a cultural heritage institution, including orphan works.

Digital Libraries and Portals Saving National Cultural Heritage (IMI–BAS Experience)

The current research activities of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI—BAS) include the study and application of knowledge-based methods for the creation, integration and development of multimedia digital libraries with applications in cultural heritage. This report presents IMI-BAS’s developments at the digital library management systems and portals, i.e. the Bulgarian Iconographical Digital Library, the Bulgarian Folklore Digital Library and the Bulgarian Folklore Artery, etc. developed during the several national and international projects: - "Digital Libraries with Multimedia Content and its Application in Bulgarian Cultural Heritage" (contract 8/21.07.2005 between the IMI–BAS, and the State Agency for Information Technologies and Communications; - FP6/IST/P-027451 PROJECT LOGOS "Knowledge-on-Demand for Ubiquitous Learning", EU FP6, IST, Priority 2.4.13 "Strengthening the Integration of the ICT research effort in an Enlarged Europe" - NSF project D-002-189 SINUS "Semantic Technologies for Web Services and Technology Enhanced Learning". - NSF project IO-03-03/2006 ―Development of Digital Libraries and Information Portal with Virtual Exposition "Bulgarian Folklore Heritage". The presented prototypes aims to provide flexible and effective access to the multimedia presentation of the cultural heritage artefacts and collections, maintaining different forms and format of the digitized information content and rich functionality for interaction. The developments are a result of long- standing interests and work in the technological developments in information systems, knowledge processing and content management systems. The current research activities aims at creating innovative solutions for assembling multimedia digital libraries for collaborative use in specific cultural heritage context, maintaining their semantic interoperability and creating new services for dynamic aggregation of their resources, access improvement, personification, intelligent curation of content, and content protection. The investigations are directed towards the development of distributed tools for aggregating heterogeneous content and ensuring semantic compatibility with the European digital library EUROPEANA, thus providing possibilities for pan- European access to rich digitalised collections of Bulgarian cultural heritage.

Un espacio de construcción pedagógica y científica: el archivo fotográfico Lafuente Ferrari II

La intención del grupo educativo interdisciplinar que forma este PIMCD tiene como objetivo la creación de un espacio de formación docente para los alumnos de Grado en Historia, Historia del Arte, Biblioteconomía y Documentación y Bellas Artes a través de la catalogación, digitalización y estudio del archivo pedagógico de fotografía del profesor Enrique Lafuente Ferrari, Catedrático de Historia del Arte de la Facultad de Bellas Artes a mediados del siglo pasado, a través sus fondos legados y conservados en la Biblioteca Histórica de nuestra universidad. El fondo fotográfico Enrique Lafuente Ferrari cuenta con 11545 diapositivas en placa de cristal que recorren toda la Historia del Arte, desde la Prehistoria al siglo XX, tanto español como internacional. La actuación que se pretende llevar a cabo, limpiar las diapositivas, reubicarlas en sobres y cajas especiales para este tipo de materiales fotográficos, su catalogación mediante una ficha elaborada por el equipo docente y los facultativos de la Biblioteca Histórica, la digitalización del mismo y su posterior inclusión en el catálogo CISNE de nuestra universidad, así como en la plataforma EUROPEANA, continuando así la labor llevada a cabo el año pasado dentro del PIMCD "Un espacio de construcción pedagógica y científica: el archivo fotográfico Lafuente Ferrari I" pertenecientes a la Historia del Arte Español, siendo la Historia del Arte Universal en el que centre este año nuestro PIMCD. El año pasado se realizaron estas labores de conservación, catalogación y digitalización de 5804 diapositivas sobre vidrio realizadas por diferentes fotógrafos y estudios fotográficos tanto extranjeros como españoles de los siglos XIX y XX. Este año se ha completado el proceso de las 5741 restantes.
