eCloud
Unlocking Europe's research via the cloud.
The principal aim of the project is to develop a cloud-based infrastructure for the network of Europeana, its content providers and its aggregators in which to store data, with a clear understanding of the legal, strategic and economic issues involved. It also seeks to build on the successes of the infrastructure and web presence of The European Library by developing a set of tools and services within Europeana specifically for the academic researcher.
The project is due to start in February 2013, and last for three years. CERL will be involved in developing a content strategy, and in metadata and content ingestion into the cloud.
It is coordinated by the Europeana Foundation, and funded by the CIP programme of the European Commission.
