Description:
The project aims to build connections between the Europeana and Automated Translation Digital Service Infrastructures (DSIs) to improve the usability of heritage resources by translating the metadata of more than 25 million records available on Europeana.
Activities:
Europeana Translate will connect the Europeana DSI with the Automated Translation DSI to advance the multilinguality of European digital cultural heritage.
For this, the project will develop a sustainable pipeline and a set of supporting tools that will provide cultural heritage resources sourced from Europeana to the ELRC-SHARE repository, the European language repository for documenting, browsing and accessing language data that feeds the Automated Translation platform DSI. Furthermore, the project will enrich existing datasets on Europeana with multilingual metadata.
As a result, the project will translate the metadata of more than 25 million records available on Europeana into English and send them back to the Europeana Core Service platform as enrichments. Additionally, it will add 10 million metadata records from Europeana to the ELRC-SHARE repository. As a result, the project will translate the metadata of more than 25
