Abstract :
Heritage organisations wishing to participate in open and public aggregators such as Europeana, need to review and revise their own digital curation workflow processes in order to tackle both the technical integration as well as the organizational and operational issues. This framework of challenges is addressed by Europeana Inside, a new project cofunded by the European Union under the CIP-ICT-PSP Programme. In this paper, the major results that were produced during the functional specification activities are summarised and the MSP-VSE model that was deployed for the harmonisation of requirements is presented. MSP-VSE is currently being used to drive the cascading ECK Prototype Iterations and the related software evaluations performed by participating content providers.
