Means of coordination

•Participation to meetings, liaison between projects

• [Europeanav1.0 Task 3 WP3] Recommendations for

further developments

• Technology adoption (based on “Technology Watch”

under Task 1)

• Recommendations for work & development for coming

3 years

2. WP3 WPs of the Europeana group’s projects

•The “big Post-It experiment”

•Goal:

• Global view on work being done in all projects of the

group

• Identifying overlaps/similarities in order to group

activities + plan more efficiently (resource distribution,

consistency across projects)

The Big Post-It experiment [1/4]

• How did we proceed?

1. Business Director + Project Coordinators

2. Go through Description of Work for each project

3. Each task of each project = 1 Post-It

4. Clustering of “similar” or “closely related” Post-Its

5. Identification of thematic groups of activities

The Big Post-It experiment [4/4]

•Remark: this is a global approach• Approximative clustering

• Ex: “Interface” cluster gathers “System requirements” + “Changes to look & feel”

• Refinement analysis required

•Where are we?• Still work in progress for synchronisation

• In parallel: analysis of resource allocation per project across the board

3. Europeana infrastructure [1/4]

•A development and experimental space for all!

•Europeana environment divides into 2 areas:

• Production:

• Production line of the Europeana releases

• Management of final tests and acceptance activities, new

versions in the air.

• Research & Development (EuropeanaLabs):

• Experiments and prototyping activities

• “open source-enabled”.
