Europe Reads - Tools for Recognition,
Annotation, Identification & Linking
(EUR-TRAIL)
WHAT?
EUR-TRAIL addresses the challenge of the call “European cultural heritage,
access and analysis for a richer interpretation of the past” - CULT-COOP-09-
2017.
EUR-TRAIL targets the development of a unique database describing the
enormous multimedia (texts, letters, images, audiovisual sources) and
multilingual (Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Russian) cultural heritage of
Europe's reading experience, along with innovative interfaces to search, explore
and capture invaluable resources that would otherwise remain buried.
WHO?
A robust consortium* of 10 academic partners and 1 SME from 7 European
countries with international level of
expertise in computer science,
information sciences, digital
humanities and the humanities led
by U. of Le Mans-3LAM where DH
and SSH expertise is combined.
A gender-innovative ratio among ICT
driven projects (54% of men and
46% of women) including women in
leading roles as the Project
coordinator is a senior French female
researcher and several Work
Packages and/or tasks are led by at
least 4 senior female researchers along with 9 female junior researchers and ESRs
both in Computer sciences and DH-SSH.
Established stakeholders in education, cultural industries, cultural institutions, and
disability advocacy groups will
participate in evaluation and
contribute to dissemination
through joint events.
HOW?
Seven tightly interrelated work
packages and leading figures in
visual recognition, affective
computing, linked data,
semantic web, Text encoding
initiative and European cultural
history.
WHY?
EUR-TRAIL will provide new ways of searching cultural digital content that
used to be inaccessible, leveraging computer science in data management. It
will also enable new findings about how the diverse traditions of reading in
Europe and the EMOTIONS it implies continue to affect European collective
and individual identities today.
