User interview with Jama on 14 Oct 2022
Google form with basic questions & his responses can be found here.
SESSION NOTES
After filling the Google form (linked above), Jama screenshared and walked me through how he uses Europeana for his project titled “Conzept”, a web-based topic-exploration tool. He is mostly interested in accessing our AV media files.
Browser // OS:
Firefox, sometimes Chrome (has never had any problems using Europeana with either) // Linux
Europeana pages he uses most often:
https://pro.europeana.eu/page/sparql#examples - example queries
and item pages (AV media mostly)
In Jama’s opinion, the following would make his usage of Europeana easier:
He has documented how he uses Europeana (& the challenges he has faced using it)
When linking to an item, he suggests “give me the media url, not a webpage.”
In the documentation, he suggests “give me the licensing information easily for these media files”
It would be helpful to have a schema like https://makg.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/mag-rdf-schema-2021-03-2.png
It would also be helpful to have an API issues community posting forum like Wikidata has.
“I’d like to click to enlarge an image in an editorial page.”
“When viewing items, let me click or scroll to the next item, without having to go back to the search results or gallery i started in.”
Other apps/tools he uses & likes:
