Audiovisual Use Cases for ECCCH​

Vast numbers of films, videos and audio recordings constitute the holdings of film and media archives, collections, and museums, while many other cultural heritage institutions and research organisations also collect AV media objects.

The AVCloud project will integrate Europe’s massive, underexplored AV heritage into the ECCCH through 15 real-life AV use cases.

We will test and improve the ECCCH and its functionalities and services in close collaboration between AV professionals and researchers, computer scientists and software developers. Based on our cumulative experience with advanced digitisation, preservation, exhibition, publication, curation, research and reuse of AV heritage, we will perform testing in two stages.

First-stage testing will focus on the ECCCH’s Collection Ingestion Tool (CIT) and any ECCCH AV functionalities and services that already exist or are planned by other ECCCH projects. The AVCloud Consortium will provide extensive sets of state-of-the-art AV data and perform a multilevel gap analysis and requirements elicitation (data model, vocabulary, functionalities and services) in close collaboration with the ECHOES consortium and fellow ECCCH projects. We will fill detected gaps through ECCCH AV extensions.

Second-stage testing will again test the ECCCH, this time through multidisciplinary user trials and including the AV extensions provided by us.

In this section, you will find the official documents produced during the project lifetime. Reports and deliverables will be made public as the project progresses. These documents will be essential to share the results of our work with the scientific community, policy makers, and the general public. We invite you to visit this page regularly to stay updated on the new documents published by our project. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.
