Past EU projects

Europeana v1.0 is the successor network to the European Digital Library thematic network which created the EDL Foundation and the Europeana prototype. Stakeholders will be involved in Europeana and informed how they can contribute and access content. The work of Europeana v1.0 will include the development and implementation of all the necessary processes to create and run such an operation and a full scale business development operation to ensure a steady stream of content is made available.

SYNC3 - What users want: A powerful and simple tool to map the blogosphere. The SYNC3 project is managed by a consortium of companies and organisations with vast experience in semantic analysis, content generation, web-programming, design, and journalism.

EuropeanaConnect is a project that will channel digital content from Europe's archives, libraries, museums, and audiovisual collections into Europeana.eu. The technical implementation of EuropeanaConnect will enable the development of an operational Europeana service by April 2011. Europeanna connect is a follow up of the big European initiative of digitizing content form more tha a hundred of European digital libraries. The goal of Europeanna connect is to offer technologies to search, analuyes retrieve etc, content from digitilised material.

EERQI (European Educational Research Quality Indicators): The knowledge triangle - research, education and innovation - is a core factor in Europe’s efforts to meet the ambitious goal of becoming the "most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world". Educational research has been chosen as an example of research in socially and politically embedded fields within the humanities and social sciences. The goals of the EERQI project are to reinforce and enhance the worldwide visibility and competitiveness of European educational research.

SHAMAN (S ustaining H eritage A ccess through M ultivalent A rchiviNg): The SHAMAN Project is a Large Integrated Project co-financed by the European Union within the Seventh Framework Programme.
This project will develop and test a next generation digital preservation framework including tools for analysing, ingesting, managing, accessing and reusing information objects and data across libraries and archives.

SCOOP - project aims at developing an innovative software application dealing with the complete process of search, acquisition, analysis and representation of online opinions.

PINVIEW (P ersonal I nformation N avigator T hrough V iewing ): We develop new information retrieval principles needed for replacing or complementing explicit queries. The new techniques will be applied to construct prototypes of proactive information navigators, the next generation systems able to adapt to the user and her tacit information needs.

SMART (S tatistical M ultilingual A nalysis for R etrieval and T ranslation): A project that aims at developing natural and easy to use interfaces that communicate intelligently via several modalities or with multilingual capabilities. The project brings together leading research institutions in Statistical Learning, Machine Translation and Textual Information Access and builds up new and more effective statistical approaches.

CACAO (C ross language A ccess to C atalogues A nd O nline libraries): A project that offers an innovative approach for accessing, understanding and navigating multilingual textual content in digital libraries and O nline P ublic A ccess C atalogues (OPACs). The CACAO cross language platform will enable librarians to query in their own languages an online catalogue that encompasses the catalogues of all project partners.

PASCAL (P attern A nalysis, S tatistical Modelling and c omputational L earning): An FP6 Network of Excellence program which brings together research groups in Computational Learning, Statistics and Optimisation along with experts in application domains suitable to benefit from advances in those areas.

REVEAL THIS : Retrieval of Video and Language for The Home user in an Information Society; REVEAL THIS addresses a basic need underlying content organisation, filtering, consumption and enjoyment by developing content programming systems that will help European citizens keep up with the explosion of digital content scattered over different platforms (radio, TV, World Wide Web, etc), different media (speech, text, image, video) and different languages.
