Editor's Notes
- Add: pink illustration
- The user path to this page is likely to be either from navigating from the main portal landing page (see previous), clicking on search engine result/browser auto-suggest, clicking on a website/mail or via a bookmark. For all these paths the page is intended to provide orientation to the user: Where am I? What can I do here? Which type of content is available? What has changed since I last visited? The user must find answers to these questions on the landing page. The main components of the landing page are: Channel name and description, each channel will have a unique name and a brief description. This is for the purpose of branding/differentiation vis-a-vi the main portal and for search engine optimisation (SEO). Search box, the main focus of the channel as befits a search service. Hero image, visualises the content of the channel. Collections overview, gives the user context and overview, especially featuring recently added collections. The overview is automatically created by querying the content of the channel. Featured browse entry points, gives a user the option to begin by browsing rather than searching. This is often preferred over search by Culture Snacker type users. Featured exhibitions, gives a user looking for context and learning opportunities direct entry points to the type of content that provides it. Channel curator(s), gives attribution and reinforces the authoritative nature of Europeana as a trusted source of authentic heritage content. Social media presences, provides shortcuts to common social platforms where the channel is represented. When the channel is first configured, the channel curator/sponsor can also select which non-Europeana platform presences to feature, in this wireframe SoundCloud and Spotify, and choose a signal colour among a palette of branding colours (here exemplified by orange). Under the channel curators/sponsors editorial control are: hero image, featured browse entry points, and featured exhibitions. These can be edited by the channel curators/sponsors to keep the landing page fresh. Channel curators/sponsors would also be likely to be producers and curators of exhibitions relevant to the channel theme. The channel landing page would have its own web address allowing users to bookmark and return to it rather than start from the regular portal landing page (from which an overview of channels would be available).
- The result of searches will be represented with facets on the left, sort and display options above the results and pagination beneath. In this example the user has searched for scores, filtered on sheet music and other texts relevant to J.S Bach and chosen to display the results sorted by relevancy and in the style of a grid.
- When Europeana Sounds partners provide direct links to PDFs, representing for example sheet music, these will be fully rendered within the channel. This will allow the user to paginate through the document, open it in full screen, and download it for use in compliance with the provided copyright value. For objects representing famous works but with poor original descriptions we aim to complement the display with descriptions sourced from Wikipedia
- For Europeana Sounds partners who use SoundCloud (or AudioBoo) we will be able to embed it’s player in the channel. This will allow users to play the audio on any device without the need for Europeana to store audio files.
