  10. The aspects of interoperability Tech & Semantic Political & Human Interoperability is connecting people, data and diverse systems. Users & usability

  11. 90 organisations Representing all EU Member States 4 cultural heritage domains (AV-archives, archives, museums, libraries) Research institutions Cross-domain associations National representatives Related Commission-funded projects  More info: http://www.europeana.eu/partners_list.php EDL network – partners

Deliver complete technical and functional specifications to build Europeana Create the final prototype in November 2008 More info http://www.europeana.eu//public_documents/4_FrameworkIssues_WP2_Stefan.ppt EDL network – 4 areas of work (1/2)

  13. WP3: Users and Usability What do users in the 4 domains want to see in Europeana fed into the design of the functionality and look&feel of the prototypes. Each stage will also be validated by users and their input prioritised Final set of recommendations on users and usability for full Europeana More info http://www.europeana.eu//public_documents/5_FrameworkIssues_WP3_Philippe.ppt WP4: Concertation and Dissemination will build the Europeana brand. establish Europeana among stakeholders as the place to expose their digital content. fix Europeana in the public mind as the web site for European cultural heritage Central information website – europeana.eu EDL network – 4 areas of work (2/2)
