    • 2 million refined pages: OCR/OLR (article
      segmentation) (CCS, Germany)
• Analysis of available digital newspaper
  collections and selection of subsets
  suitable for refinement

                                                    www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/

1) Refinement – OCR and OLR

• 10 million refined pages:
  OCR (UIBK, Austria)
• 2 million refined pages:
  OCR/OLR (article segmentation)
  (CCS, Germany)

• UIBK enriches the OCR with structural information     CCS: Column recognition, article segmentation
  from their Document Understanding Platform
• CCS produces OCR and verification of column
  recognition, zoning, article segmentation, and page
  class recognition
• CCS provides libraries with a client technology for
  manual correction of recognition and segmentation
  results

                                                          UIBK: Detection of headings, footnotes, etc.

1) Refinement - Named Entity Recognition

• KB provides named entities recognition (NER) for material from up to
 three languages (Dutch, English, and German)
2 ) A n a ly s is o f e x is t in g d ig it is e d
n e w s p a p e r c o lle c t io n s

• Project partners and others will be contacted until summer 2012 to
  analyse the extent of digitised newspapers collections at their institutions
       • Results will be embedded in “Zeitschriftendatenbank” of
         Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Union Catalogue of Serials)
       • Potential new partners for the extension of the network will be
         suggested by survey
• May also be useful to judge technical status of digitised data and as part
  of gathering descriptive metadata

• If you hold digital newspaper collection and like to participate in the
 survey  please contact: survey@europeana-newspapers.eu/
3) Analysis of work & Best Practise Recommendations


• Analysis of metadata formats in use by libraries in digitisation projects
• Align metadata models with the METS/ALTO standard and release best
  practise recommendation on how to apply these formats in newspaper
  digitisation and refinement
• Usability of the recommendation will be tested through an evaluation
  cycle
• Provide recommendations on best practices for refinement of digitized
  newspaper collections for Europeana
4) Presentation & Access to full-texts

• Within the lifetime of the project, a content browser
  will be built within TEL portal so that users can …

   • by search term,
   • by named entities
   • by collections of newspapers
   • by date ….
• See newspaper images
• Be linked to relevant library sources
• This browser will be built in TEL during project;
