DSI Webinar - The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality

Many cultural institutions that aggregate data for Europeana use Wikidata elements to enrich their content and improve the quality of their data. The more Wikidata is effective, the better the quality of the results of those who use Wikidata will be. In this webinar, held by Camillo Pellizzari, we will learn the characteristics of the Wikidata ontology and how to correctly add new items related to concepts absent in Wikidata by setting the relationships between them and the pre-existing elements (classes and subclasses).

DSI Webinar - Methodologies for metadata semantic enrichment

Europeana “augments” its data providers’ metadata by automatically linking text strings found in the metadata to controlled terms from Linked Open vocabularies. This process is called “semantic enrichment”. In this webinar we will present some experiences carried out to facilitate this process using automatic enrichment, artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing.

Opening: Maria Teresa Natale (MCA)

Speakers:

  • Maša Škrinjar (Europeana): Introduction to enrichment for Europeana
  • Eirini Kaldeli (NTUA): The experience of automatic enrichment (texts and colours) in Europeana Crafted
  • Konstantinos Chatzitheodorou (Pangeanic): The experience of using AI in the Europeana Translate project
  • Pier Giacomo Sola (MCA): The experience of crowdsourcing in the CrowdSchool and CrowdHeritage project

DSI Webinar – Museums going digital: why invest on quality digital content?

The NEMO report “Follow-up survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on museums in Europe” issued in January 2021 highlighted the increased importance of digital museum offers in a changing world. Many institutions received financial support for new investments in digital infrastructures and/or digital programmes but they also claimed lack of skills in digital literacy.It’s now time for the museums to (re)think their digital strategy to supply their visitors with quality services. This webinar addressed the evolution of the digital approach of museums in a post-pandemic world and illustrated the Europeana frameworks and resources that the European museums may apply to create, share and reuse quality digital content. The webinar was targeted to Museum professionals interested in joining Europeana.

DSI Webinar – Benefits of sharing content with Europeana

Sharing your data with Europeana, even if beginning with a small dataset, means to gain increased visibility, to bring the collections to new audiences in education, research and the creative industries, and be part of a large community of professionals of digital cultural heritage.  The experts of four small cultural institutions in Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Italy - a scientific association, a museum, a gallery of a university, a virtual museum, will explain how they benefited from being part of the larger community of MUSEU that supported them in the process of creating, sharing and re-using quality digital content for Europeana. The webinar was targeted to cultural heritage institutions interested in joining Europeana.

Europeana Sport Workshop – Copyright in the user contribution of sports content

The workshop focused on collection days and use of sport material on social media. During this workshop, we explored the copyright considerations of sharing data with Europeana gathered through collection days. Unlike the first workshop on copyrigh, this one had a strong focus on the Terms for User Contributions that need to be respected in this framework. By working with examples of sports-related materials, we will put these principles into practice.
