ASSETS’ work has been divided into three Streams:

• Stream 1: Management and Networking
• Stream 2: Foundation
• Stream 3: Content and Users

STREAM 1 - Management and Networking

Aims at assuring all the necessary activities for:

• coordinating all administrative and financial tasks;
• disseminating information on the project and its progress, building a community for networking activities and drawing the business plan that will ensure the future sustainability of the ASSETS outcomes.

STREAM 2 - Foundation for the design and implementation of ASSETS platform and services.

The activities within this stream are aimed at:

• Making sure that the provided services are interoperable with Europeana;
• Allowing metadata normalization, cleaning and mapping;
• Improving multimedia content retrieval;
• Preparing ground for digital preservation;
• Deploying all services both on ASSETS platform as well as in the framework of Europeana;
• Improving the user experience through browsing and visual interfaces.

STREAM 3 - Content and Users

Assures that:

• Adequate content is made available for testing the new services and environment (apart from the existing Europeana content);
• A continuous evaluation of the services and platform by real users is guaranteed;
• Community building services are adequately integrated to involve real users in the content lifecycle.
