MULTILINGUAL INFORMATION ACCESS IN DIGITAL LIBRARY

This deliverable reports on the efforts of work package WP2 (Multilingual Access to Content) of EuropeanaConnect to increase and enhance the users’ possibilities to access the Europeana portal and Europeana content multilingually, that is with their native or preferred language. It highlights the many different multilingual access strategies that are already available to Europeana users today or have been developed as a prototype during the course of the project. The efforts of WP2 partners to facilitate exchange of ideas, develop joint applications and maintain communication with different research and applied communities about multilingual issues (with a particular focus on Europeana) in the areas of language resources, semantic mapping and multilingual information retrieval are highlighted. The document finishes with some open-ended challenges. D2.7.1 Report on Facilitation and Exchange of Multilingual Access Strategies to Digital Libraries 4 / 21 Table of
