WP1: the 2007 boost!

WP1 assists Belgium, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain and Sweden in making their resources available through The European Library and becoming Full Participants of The European Library in a sustainable way.

EDLproject partners and The European Library Technical Working Group were invited to meet during the Joint Knowledge Sharing Workshop held in the National Library of the Netherlands on January 11th and 12th, 2007.

The aim of the meeting was to explain the DRAFT-ImplementationPlan, investigate the OAI compliance of EDLproject partners, elaborate the concept of web services in The European Library infrastructure and investigate FRBR implementation solutions.

The Joint meeting was a success in terms of networking, communication with experienced Full Participants of The European Library and a concrete opportunity to clarify technical issues related to collection implementation.
