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:

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:
