Wants to see the data space explore/represent the idea of ‘decentralisation’ more
Suggests presenting the Aggregators differently - such as showing their own websites, as they are also part of the data space.
They have lots of data on their own website which is not forwarded to Europeana
Also the tools and things they’ve developed, which contribute to the data ending up on Europeana.eu
Carousel presentation at the higher level of the other portals, for example; the Aggregators' portals at the same level as the Europeana website and APIs
More tailor-made connections to our data - what specific data do the other data spaces each need?
(We need to do market research for this)
Mentioning the 'Data Space Blueprint' on the page? Comes from the Data Space Support Centre
e.g. ‘SIMPLE Framework’, Change Standards (IPMH), etc.
Henning will lead investigations on this starting in March
Vermeer header image: Would like to see a greater diversity of cultural heritage material represented
E.g. documentary material, sound, 3D
(What kinds of documentary material would other data spaces be interested in?)
...
Logo is clear, easy to use
Interested in brand guidelines that will be sent out with the brand (colour rules (black and white only), sizing, etc.)
The black/white/yellow looks very similar to inDICEs
WEB PAGE FEEDBACK
Aesthetically, the page looks/feels quite dark; less bright/energetic than europeana.eu
Header image: feels too traditional; they want to see more ‘liveliness’, ‘modern’, ‘contemporary’, ‘kaleidoscope of images’.
Aggregator section could be more prominent; for example, showing all of them at once.
Q: Why would this be useful to the ‘external’ audience for this page?
A: Domain/thematic and national/regional aggregators would illustrate/reaffirm the breadth and content of our collections to an audience.
Showing the Aggregators more prominently makes sense from the perspective of the 3 pillars of the data space: Europeana.eu (which we put first), ENA (which we mention), and the EAF - some kind of heading about the Aggregators about the EAF may contextualise them a bit better.
Many Aggregators do have data on their own portals which is not available through Europeana, but can be considered part of the data space
They would like to see more emphasis on the ‘digital’ heritage, and what this encompasses; e.g. audiovisual, etc.
...
Vermeer as a header image doesn’t tell the story of data/nodes/innovation that she associates with the data space.
Values section: see other examples for wording (e.g. National Library of Scotland - ‘they use the values as a way to present the content on the page’; see also, GLAM Labs.)
Showcasing the data: the European open science cloud uses a list-style UI layout to showcase [links to] the data itself (see screenshot below)
Aesthetically, feels a bit dark, which feels less aspirational, less dynamic

Wants to see something more visual, illustrative, in the logo. Right now it’s too plain for him.
Mentioned this book about Godel, Escher and Bach as inspiration, the way it uses a cube’s faces to project letters:
WEB PAGE FEEDBACK
Echoed the point that the Aggregators could be better presented at the EAF level; EAF mentioned, at least.
Gerda Koch (AIT), Dec 7
Consortium partner: AIT Angewandte Informationstechnik Forschungsgesellschaft mbH
Aggregator(s): OpenUp! and Europeana Local Austria
Recording can be found here.
BRAND FEEDBACK
Prefers the version with ‘4' over 'for’
WEB PAGE FEEDBACK
Don’t overuse black - more in favour of lighter, more lively
Try to make it feel colourful, optimistic; inspire/animate people
Would like to see a menu/top nav with jump-to links to page sections ('Data offer', ‘Implementers/Aboutus/Consortium’, ‘Contributors/aggs/partners’)
Would like to see in the future: infrastructure section (technical supporters)
Showing the Aggregators/aggregation structure is useful for external audiences because it provides social proof of our data quality; builds trust
She thinks an external audience might ask:
Where is the data? What kind of data, e.g. images vs. metadata
Where are the tools, and can I download/use them? e.g. APIs
Who has contributed? They may like to approach Aggs/partners directly
Data space audiences, to her, include (based on this paper, I think):
Business (e.g. Tripadvisor); citizens (e.g. tourists, students); science (universities); government and public bodies (evaluating and creating policy).
Internal audiences want to know:
Technical tools, e.g. IIIF; about data standards; about data governance/rights statements; and about IT capacity, e.g. storage/servers for smaller CHI’s)
Showcase the diversity of the collections
Natural heritage!
External audiences interested in natural heritage could include: Medicine, Agriculture, Education & Skills, Tourism, Climate, Energy
ENA - Tom (also British Library), 18 Dec
...
Supports the jump-to links idea
Helps people landmark within the page
Likes that “people are seeing us at the higher/European-level” as one data space
Thinks that it does make sense to have people from external audiences sign up to join the ENA
Might be a good idea to ask Sophie and Rob for feedback
...
Also thinks the milkmaid tells only one story about the data; especially internal stakeholders may not connect/identify with it
Thinks “Discover the Data heading should be further to the right
Also confused about whether it’s clickable (probably because there’s no CTA button above the fold)
Thinks that a “Share Your Data” CTA should be somewhere on the page, in case CHI’s not working with us land here
Thinks we should show Europeana as a three-legged structure
Show the ENA as a community of [1500+] experts in the “Europeana in numbers” section?
Benefits section: Could use FAIR principles instead (would be recognisable to external data people)
Could add Open Science Cloud, relevant to researchers
I mentioned we’d have a page for researchers and could add it there, and she agreed
Crowdsourcing cultural heritage” written copy should have the word “contextualising” in it
ENA section: CTA to join; mention different communities they can join
Aggs section: rename “Data providers”? Less jargon-y and more consistent with what we call them elsewhere
Differentiating between data owners/data consumers/data users could be useful
E.g. tourism would see that we have overlap in our data users
