 === harvesting metadata ===

 * harvest their metadata: an an example selection is available at [http://catalog-clarin.esc.rzg.mpg.de/vlo/search?fq=collection:The+European+Library+Central+Repository an example selection the alpha version of the VLO]
 * the CLARIN-D VLO taskforce is [wiki:VLO-Taskforce/Meeting-2015-04-23#a3ResourcestobeharvestedfortheVLOraisedbyDieter checking all available sets] to decide which to include
 * [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SGnkqTxJ00wTlV-mieD5xPKUsdZq3vSiXiLPXYSHonY/edit?usp=sharing analysis of the sets for harvesting]
 * [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1coeMFNHSkcg9wYTf2VrahjruKEGurrLr0ujd02qjFy4/edit?usp=sharing deliverable on collaboration with a.o. CLARIN]
 * the BBAW colleages will make a CMDI profile for historical newspapers that The European Library could use

 === full-text access ===

 * look at use cases with full text OCRed data (see note below)

 === Europeana sounds ===

 * Some CLARIN centres are also data providers for Europeana in the context of [http://europeanasounds.eu Europeana Sounds], e.g.:
  * [http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?query=*%3A*&rows=24&qf=PROVIDER%3A%22Europeana+Sounds%22&qf=DATA_PROVIDER%3A%22The+Language+Archive%22&qt=false The Language Archive]: contact persons: [http://www.mpi.nl/people/koenig-alexander Alexander König] and [http://www.mpi.nl/people/geerts-jeroen Jeroen Geerts]
  * The British Library
 * Important is that we avoid 2 unnecessary metadata conversion (CMDI > EDM > CMDI), so harvest the source CMDI from the CLARIN centres directly

== information from Nuno Freire ==

{{{

Meanwhile, maybe you can have a look at what we have in Github. It contains only one newspaper title, but you can see the metadata available and the fulltext (as plain text files).
https://github.com/nfreire/HistoricalNewspapersCorpus/

Some more notes:
- We will not continue using Github (so don't expect to have the materials available through Git)
- The metadata formats in there are the final available ones: Dublin Core, EDM (Europeana Data Model - a richer format used in the Europeana network)
- If we find the storage capacity, we will make available also the ALTO files, along with the plain text.
