Involved as an affiliated entity of DARIAH, the ACDH has joined forces with 14 other institutions across Europe for the European Cultural Heritage Optimised Linked Open Tools  (ECHOLOT) project which supports the development and adoption of the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH): 

“ECHOLOT’s open-source software suite enables the curation and enrichment of cultural heritage data through AI-enhanced workflows combining automated processing and human input. Integrated as a core service within the ECCCH, ECHOLOT facilitates the simultaneous publication of high-quality, semantically rich and interoperable data by aggregators such as Europeana and the common European data space for cultural heritage, as well as citizen science platforms from the Wikimedia ecosystem. Tested and validated through five thematic case studies, ECHOLOT’s added support for embedding rights and provenance metadata opens new collaboration opportunities across the research, heritage and creative sectors.” (from: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101233096)

ECHOLOT is led by Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) answering the HORIZON-CL2-2024-HERITAGE-ECCCH-01 call.

The ACDH is involved in collecting the user requirements and specification of the system architecture (WP2), as well as in the development and evaluation of hybrid curation workflows (WP4, WP6). Additionally, the ACDH will contribute to training and capacity building (WP8).
