Context of Use. 1.1 Europeana Inside within the digital cultural ecosystem for Europe In order to outline the requirements for Europeana Inside and its ECK, a first step is to look at the context in which the ECK will be deployed. This includes, most notably, the Europeana aggregation landscape and its stakeholders. However it is useful to extend the contextual overview to what can be described as the ‘digital cultural ecosystem for Europe’, in which Europeana is being increasingly seen as the central portal (see e.g. European Commission, 2011). The value network around Europeana is complex and layered. It includes many stakeholders in different configurations and interdependencies. The cultural institutions that contribute to Europeana are not only very diverse, but can also follow various paths to become a contributor. Previous research has already mapped the Europeana aggregator landscape in detail. A report, published in July 2012, in the context of Europeana v2 focused extensively on the value network or partner network in order to outline Europeana’s partner strategy (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx, 2012). The report was written from Europeana’s point of view but it also takes other stakeholders’ requirements into account, and as such, it is highly relevant for the context of Europeana Inside. This section does not intend to duplicate the efforts of the Europeana v2 report, but it will complement it with value network approaches. In other words, the focus will be on the Europeana value network as a whole rather than Europeana itself. As a result we will look more directly and more in depth at the roles of other stakeholders within the Europeana Inside project and beyond. From the perspective of Europeana Inside, there are four main parties involved in this value network that contribute to the creation of end user services: • Content providers; • Aggregators; • Collection management software vendors; • Europeana. We will discuss these below. This value network description will serve as a background to the requirement analysis of Europeana Inside. An overview of the main stakeholders, the most important business relations and interdependencies between them is a necessary first step to gain insight into the workflows of the delivery of digital content to Europeana, and to define requirements that need to be taken into account within Europeana Inside. This is equally important for the business requirements that will be outlined further on in this deliverable. Removing organi...
