Extracted Abstract:

—The EUscreenXL initiative represents the European television archives. It acts as a domain aggregator for Europeana, Europe’s digital library, which provides access to over 20 million digitized cultural objects. The main motivation for the EUscreenXL initiative is to aggregate a comprehensive amount of professional audiovisual content and make it accessible through Europeana. EUscreenXL builds on the EUscreen project, which provided unified access to a representative collection of television articles, and in this way allowed students, scholars and the general public to study the history of television in its wider context. This paper gives an overview of related projects that work on bringing audiovisual heritage online. It furthermore explores the EUscreen activities related to [1] novel ways of presenting curated content in virtual exhibitions and [2] publishing EUscreen metadata as Linked Open Data. Regarding the latter, it is demonstrated how available metadata can be enriched and visualized using a timeline interface. Keywords—Visualization, Linked Open Data, TV on the Web, Metadata Interoperability, Europeana, Linked Media I.
