  • Create a preview. Europeana will use the link to the image to create a preview that will be stored on a Europeana server. This image will only be used to illustrate search results on the Europeana Collections website.

  • Add to thematic collections. The object could also be made available via thematic collections, if appropriate. If you have provided one, we will offer a link that allows visitors to see the digital object in its original context (on your website). If the user clicks on the image you’ve provided, they can also get it enlarged, in site, as Europeana pulls the image in from your site. This is a continuation of current working practice.

  • Allow your metadata to be reused. The preview image, as well as the digital object, can be used by visitors of the Europeana Collections website under the conditions of the rights statement you have defined. The metadata itself can be used freely by anyone for any purpose. In this scenario, the Europeana API will provide access to information about the digital object (the metadata) as well as a direct link to the digital object itself.

    • in the case of content tier 3 and 4 Europeana API will provide access to information about the digital object as well as direct links to the digital objects for reuse.Europeana will provide users of the platform and the API the ability to limit their search queries to digital objects that are reusable and that meet user-specified minimum quality requirements (for example, images that are at least 1,200 pixels wide).

What you get

Findability: Your data will be available in a standardised format and indexed by the major search engines like Google and Bing. Linked data technology that runs in the background of Europeana means that whenever people look online for content that matches yours, they’re more likely to find you.

Web traffic: The Europeana Collections website gets millions of visits a year. User engagement on Europeana thematic collections is a lot higher than that on the Europeana Collections website (e.g. 4 times more pages per session, 14% more returning visitors

Thematic collections: Because your content quality is good, we can include your material in our powerful thematic collections, putting them in context and in relation to other collections from across Europe.

Marketing: Because the quality of data you’ve provided us is good, Europeana can market your collections to a greater extent, particularly if they are part of a thematic collection.

Partnerships and projects: Europeana can incorporate your collections into existing projects and partnerships operating in sectors like education (e.g. Historiana) and research (e.g. CLARIN).

Apps and services: You’ll see your collections being incorporated into new apps and services, bringing them to new audiences and being used in ways you may never have expected. Because you’ve allowed your collections to be used, you’re helping people to learn, be inspired and create new things.
