Datable is partner is het Europees CEF project CRAFTED. Dit project heeft tot doel de overdracht van Europese ambachten aan toekomstige generaties te ondersteunen door het aggregeren, verrijken en promoten van tastbaar ambachtelijk erfgoed en het behouden van immateriële vaardigheden en kennis van ambachtslieden en ambachtslieden.
Voor dit project worden ruim 200.000 digitale objecten (beeld, video en audio) verrijkt met metadata en aan het Europeanaplatform toegevoegd.
Datable ontwikkelt hiervoor een toolset waarmee uit beeld, geluid en video metadata worden gegenereerd. We gebruiken hiervoor geavanceerde AI-technologieën voor beeldherkenning, kleurdetectie, speech-to-text en tekstherkenning.
Het project wordt gecofinancierd door Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) van de Europese Unie.
Over het CRAFTED project:
Crafts are the living creative expressions of our traditions and are strongly intertwined in the fabrics and cultural objects of our communities. The richness of European crafts shows in the combination of tangible and intangible heritage: the hand-made objects, such as jewellery, textiles and garments, and the traditions and techniques inherited from our ancestors to create those objects.
The project aims to enable the preservation of both material and immaterial aspects of craftsmanship and thus ensure a comprehensive understanding and appreciation of the communities and cultures from whom it belongs to. For this, the project will aggregate more than 186,000 new high-quality records that showcase tangible objects produced or used by artisans and document their immaterial context, such as techniques and knowledge. Additionally, it will upgrade over 26,000 records already existing in Europeana to an open license.
It will also develop and deploy an innovative human-in-the-loop methodology (e.g. requiring human interaction) that repurposes and extends state-of-the-art digital tools, including AI tools, for image, audio and semantic analysis. The project will enhance existing crowdsourcing and aggregation tools to support a large scale automatic enrichment of datasets made available through Europeana For this, the project will build upon the results of two previous Generic Services projects – CrowdHeritage and Europeana XX – as well as use the aggregation platform MINT developed by the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA).
The project will enhance the awareness of tangible and intangible aspects of European crafts through editorial. Additionally, it will hostthree ‘edit-a-thons’ to enrich Wikipedia pages with more comprehensive and diverse information about crafts heritage, including images and videos from Europeana.
Finally, CRAFTED will deliver three workshops and capacity-building resources such as guidelines and documentation to support the adoption of AI-driven methods and tools across the cultural heritage sector.
This project is a Europeana Generic Services project, and it is co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) of the European Union.
