Research Community Evaluation Report : Europeana Cloud Deliverable 1.7
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report deals with three Evaluation Workshops organized by ATHENA R.C that took place as part of research undertaken in Work Package 1 of the Europeana Cloud (eCloud) project (2013-16). The workshops were linked to WP3 iterative development cycle, and intended to provide feedback regarding the usefulness, as against usability, of tools and service prototypes within Europeana Cloud and their fitness-for-purpose with regard to the requirements analysis and user-centred design of Europeana Research.

User Requirements Analysis and Case Studies Report. Content Strategy Report. : Europeana Cloud Deliverable 1.3 and 1.6: User Requirements Analysis and Case Studies Report (1.3) and Content Strategy Report (1.6)
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present Deliverable (1.3) comprises of two joint reports: former Deliverable 1.3 (User Requirements and Case Studies report) and Deliverable 1.6 (Content Strategy Report). As a product of a multi-scale, interdisciplinary effort, Deliverable 1.3 (User Requirements and Case Studies report / Content Strategy Report) employs a multi-faceted approach to make sense of the information needs and behaviour of Humanities and Social Sciences researchers both within and outside the Europeana ecosystem, while achieving profound understanding of the ways these communities interact with existing Europeana content and metadata. Through extensive and widely-levelled empirical research (Case Studies, Web Survey, Interviews, Focus Groups) complimented by thorough desk research (Literature review, study of particular thematic areas), and building on work previously conducted in the context of other Digital Humanities Research Infrastructures (DARIAH, EHRI, ARIADNE, NeDiMAH) Work Package 1 managed to reach a long list of non-prioritized User Requirements as well as a set of flexible Content Recommendations for the upcoming development of Europeana Research.

State of the art report on digital research practices, tools and scholarly content use : Deliverable D1.2
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This document constitutes desk research to analyse the current situation related to digital research practices, tools and content for the humanities and social sciences research communities and it comprises of three Milestones submitted separately in the course of the first nine months of the Project, each corresponding to digital research practices, tools and content respectively. Moreover, this report will serve as an exploratory stage which will provide the basis for the confirmation stage, that is the web survey undertaken within Task 1.3, relying heavily on work previously presented in Deliverable 1.1 (Research Communities Identification and Definition Report), in which the humanities and social sciences research communities were largely identified. The Research Communities Web Survey (T.1.3.4), which has been completed and is currently being processed, encompasses - amongst others -questions pertaining to the activities undertaken by Humanities and Social Sciences researchers, as well as questions regarding the use of content and metadata. This current document provides the background work which guided the design of the Web Survey and is meant to complement the related Web Survey findings which will comprise the User Requirements and Case Studies Analysis report, D1.3. Moreover, this work draws from and complements Deliverable 1.5 (Case Studies Expert Forum Report. The present desk research seeks to analyse the current situation related to digital research practices, tools and content for the humanities and social sciences research community, and will serve as an exploratory stage which will provide the basis for the confirmatory stage, that is the Content Strategy and User Requirements reports, due later on in the Project.

Standards with future relevance for European Social Science data infrastructure / Needs, Key Areas, Rules & Best Practices in Metadata Standard selection and usage : DELIVERABLE D7.2: D7.3 - Data without Boundaries (DwB) WORK PACKAGE 7 - Standards Development
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Support for searching and locating OS microdata at NSIs is by far not as developed and coordinated at a European level as for research data at DAs. No structured metadata base exist that present national OS microdata from the NSIs at a European and international level, even if there are some degree of integration via Eurostat/European Statistical System, (ESS)1, by which datasets from different countries are integrated through gathering data from common European Surveys coordinated by Eurostat/ESS. This report is to identify and to discuss such subjects and questions about “future needs”, “best practice” and “open issues” as related topics within the programmatic frame of WP7 on “Standards development”. The report integrates the former separated deliverable DwB D7.2 and DwB D7.3 to achieve most possible coherence and integration in answering leading questions in the field and tackling respective work package tasks. Thus DwB D7.2/3 emphasizes the need for standards development from different points of view, and results from the work in T7.2, T7.3, T7.4 and T7.5, which is detailed in the following. The audiences for this report are the statistical institutes and government agencies that would like to facilitate transnational discovery and access to official microdata.

Expert Forum Tools & Content for Social Science Research : Europeana Cloud: Deliverable 1.5 (3 of 4)
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report deals with the Expert Forum that took place in Gothenburg October 24-25 to assess social scientists needs and requirements for using Europeana as a research source. The 19 participants either belonged to the Europeana Cloud projects or were invited as external social scientists experts. The forum had two themes; (a) what kinds of tools would be useful, and could potentially be developed, for social scientists carrying out research on the Europeana material; and (b) what content in Europeana is useful as it stands, what gaps exist and, most importantly, what changes in addition to Europeana content could encourage future social science research. The discussions provided the following key recommendations for Europeana: - functionality for adding annotations, comments, and user-enhanced metadata to records - robust, user-friendly functionality for export to non-proprietary, ubiquitous, and/or thirdparty software - refined search functionality and additional filters - an approach to additional content that focuses on quality in few areas/subjects/topics rather than quantity in many - improved metadata quality - clear, easy-to-find information on Europeana, its providers, collection strategies, and inclusion (and exclusion) criteria.
