Adoption by eChase

The electronic Cultural Heritage made Accessible for Sustainable Exploitation project depends upon being

able to access, aggregate and exploit multimedia content from multiple sources across Europe.

The project has used Taverna workflows to manipulate the data held by several legacy database systems. The mapping services within the workflows deal with inconsistent formatting of particular types of data, such as place and date.

The paper The eCHASE System for Cross-border Use of European Multimedia Cultural Heritage Content in Education and Publishing by Addis et al, describes the technical structure of the eCHASE system.
