The Europeana Newspapers project (funded under EC's CIP 2007 – 2013) aims at the aggregation and refinement of newspapers for The European Library and Europeana. In addition, the project addresses challenges particularly linked with digitized newspapers:

  • use of refinement methods for OCR, OLR/article segmentation, and named entity recognition (NER), and page class recognition to enhance search and presentation functionalities for Europeana customers,
  • quality evaluation for automatic refinement technologies,
  • transformation of local metadata to the Europeana Data Model (EDM)
  • metadata standardization in close collaboration with stakeholders from the public and private sector.
