EDLproject - Presentation
The EDLproject initiative is a forward step in the direction of Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage on-line, a single "click" for a thorough collection search.
Based on the existing European Library and its TEL-ME-MOR extension, EDLproject aims to extend the current multilingual search capabilities of The European Library portal as well as initiate a partnership with other major cultural heritage institutions, such as museums and archives.
The European Library, a unique search tool
The European Library is an ambitious collaboration programme between European national libraries that offers internet access to combined resources (books, magazines, journals, etc.). Created under the authority of CENL and 46 national libraries across Europe, The European Library portal was launched successfully in March 2005, hosting over 500.000 visitors in a little more than a year. By offering a single access point for specific searches, the portal provides multi-lingual and cross-collections results through all Full Participant national libraries resources, a total amount of more than a 150 million entries.
TEL-ME-MOR, the search is extended
The TEL-ME-MOR project was launched in order to support the 10 national libraries from the EU New Member States in becoming Full Participants of The European Library. Initiated in February 2005, TEL-ME-MOR should end in January 2007 after all New Member State have joined succesfully.
Another step towards a European Digital Library
Next to the above TEL-ME-MOR project, The European Library's objective is to significantly extend its current collection records by adding 9 national libraries within the EU/EFTA to its Full Participants list. This collection boost would generate over 50 million records of objects (books, journals, etc.), all searchable through the same single access point, The European Library "Search" button.

Following up on another step, I would like to suggest a post on Suggested Technologies for a European digital library. Where both public and private enterprises can place their ideas and proposals for technologies and semantic solutions for a European digital library. In fact a couple of strands could be developed such as Grid v Peer to Peer or Metasearching and Solving multilingual search and retrieval in both full text and metadata...........and probably loads more.
A little idea we can get for a European Digital Library from new resources at My Digital Library where the Technology Update is clearly defined in relation with Libraries.
