Problem

  • Slow
  • Opaque
  • Change aggregation organisation
  • Develop valuable services
  • Chaotic
  • Complex

Slow

It takes months to publish

Opaque

No control or direct feedback

Change aggregation organisation

Expert Hubs

Develop valuable services

IIIF

Chaotic

Many intermediaries and different paths (direct, national, domain, thematic) to Europeana

Complex

Data Model, DEA, et.

Solution

  • Improve Metis

Improve Metis

4 Europeana / TEL end DSI-2 4 Aggregating partners end of DSI-3

Unique Value Proposition

  • Improved data processing services for Aggregators
  • Quick, direct publishing for GLAMS
  • Transparent
  • Direct
  • Simple

Improved data processing services for Aggregators

Moving to a singular shared infrastructure

Quick, direct publishing for GLAMS

The data would appear online (almost) instantly on Europeana, without mediators or complex data mapping

Transparent

Publishing process is open and controlled by partners

Direct

Data partners can publish data without mediators

Simple

No need for complex data mapping in order publish

Unfair Advantage

  • Europeana as the Platform for CH

Europeana as the Platform for CH

Europeana already has the largest distributed network of Memory Institutions (3500+)

Customer Segments

  • GLAMS
  • Aggregators

GLAMS

All 3500+ current data partners and an estimated 60.000 cultural heritage institutions across Europe

Aggregators

Around 10 Domain aggregators and 30 national aggregators

Key Metrics

  • Statistics
  • User surveys

Statistics

Customers should have very clear insight into the quality evaluation of their data and the reach&use; of their data post-publication.

User surveys

Customer satisfaction will be measured via user surveys on a bi-annual basis

Channels

  • Via aggregators
  • Direct

Via aggregators

Aggregators will focus much more on the relational aspects and less on maintaining a separate technical infrastructure

Direct

This is the main pivot of the model: GLAMS should have much more direct control over the publication of their data. This model aims at removing friction.

Cost Structure

  • Metis development
  • Operation Direct
  • LoCloud Collections development

Metis development

4 dedicated FTEs (PO + 2 developers EF, 1 developer PSNC)

Operation Direct

3 dedicated FTEs (1 internal and 2 Semantika) until December 2016 (evaluation)

LoCloud Collections development

1 dedicated FTE from PSNC

Revenue Stream

  • Improved data quality
  • More visibility for the data
  • Empowerment
  • Lower cost overall structure

Improved data quality

Partners will be more engaged and committed. As a result they will share higher quality data (tier 2/3/4) and metadata.

More visibility for the data

Higher quality will result in higher visibility

Empowerment

Partners will feel more empowered and intrinsically engaged (instead of 'publish and forget')

Lower cost overall structure

By developing shared services (domain) aggregators will be able to lower their individual costs of development
