European Digital Library Kicks Off!
Museums, Archives, Audio-visual Archives and Libraries start their cross
domain collaboration to create the European Digital Library this month
with the start of EDLnet.
EDLnet is a Thematic Network under the eContentPlus Progamme, run by The
European Library together with the National Library of the Netherlands.
The network will work on the human and political as well as the
technical and semantic issues to create an interoperable system able to
access fully digitized content from these cultural repositories. This
work will be shown through a mock up and prototypes over the next 12
months to give users their say in the process.
The European Library is recruiting for several technical and
non-technical positions to create prototypes of the European Digital
Library over the next 12 months. Based in The Hague in the Netherlands
we are looking for enthusiastic individuals to people the EDL Office and
run EDLnet. Details of thses posts can be found at:
http://libraries.theeuropeanlibrary.org/jobs/jobscareers_en.html
Dublin Core members may be particularly interested in the
Interoperability Manager post which needs a real metadata enthusiast to
fill it!
