Back-end tools

• Syntactic and Semantic interoperability is achieved by using a common schema fully mappable to EBUcore.

• Centralised approach in order to monitor progresses and quality, as well as facilitate the involvement of content providers in all ingestion phases.

• User friendly web tools that facilitate harvesting, mapping, normalising and revising of metadata

• Metadata publishing to EUScreen portal and to Europeana (via OAI-PMH harvesting service)

Connected to:

Mapping tool

• Maps via a GUI providers’ elements to the EUscreen elements.

• Transforms and stores metadata automatically in EBUcore format.

• Stores mapping transformations, to allow re-editing at any point, if necessary.

• Supports value concatenation (many-to-one mappings), string manipulation and conditional mappings.

• Exports metadata in EBUcore and EDM 5.x and provides the respective XSL.

Annotation tool

• This module enables the addition of data that are not in the original metadata (e.g empty fields, fields that take values from EUscreen thesaurus).

• The revision happens on item or group level. (i.e. item level edit to add English description to an item, group level edit to add topic to a group of items in a provider’s dataset).
