Think culture: Europeana.eu from concept to construction.

Kultur denken: Europeana.eu vom Konzept bis zum Aufbau. (German)

The article reports on the development of Europeana.eu, Europe's digital library, archive, and museum portal launched in 2008, which provides access to 4.5 million metadata from its collection of cultural, audiovisual and scientific heritage. Europeana is described to enable organizations to renew their relevance to the Web-user generation and generate services in the education and tourism sectors. That Europeana's ability to put content into the user's workflow and to offer a more participatory experience will contribute to its success is pointed out.
