(Der Spiegel) Europeana is a new online encyclopedia of European culture. Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media, has pledged to preserve Europe’s cultural heritage through the digitization of the continent’s national libraries, and to make it freely accessible through the Europeana online encyclopedia scheduled for rollout in November 20.
The digital content will be selected from that which is already digitised and available in Europe’s museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual collections. The prototype aims to have representative content from all four of these cultural heritage domains, and also to have a broad range of content from across Europe.
Europeana will let a reader start, say, with an image of the Mona Lisa. Then it will encourage a stroll through related paintings, music, books or other artifacts using data tags (“Leonardo da Vinci,” “portraits,” “Italy,” even a color) — or a timeline of European history.
The intention is that by 2010 the Europeana portal will give everybody direct access to well over 6 million digital sounds, pictures, books, archival records and films.
