CRAFTED: Enrich and promote traditional and contemporary crafts

The Action aims to support the preservation of European crafts for future generations by aggregating, enriching and promoting tangible crafts heritage and preserving intangible skills and knowledge from craftsmen and artisans. The Action will deliver a diverse set of crafts-related items along with curatorial outputs and activities and the documentation of their immaterial context - techniques, traditions, knowledge and skills. More specifically, the Action will aggregate and publish on Europeana more than 186.000 new digital items from 15 institutions and enrich and upgrade to open license already existing collections consisting of more than 26.300 records. Finally, the Action will also develop and deploy an innovative human-in-the-loop methodology that repurposes and extends state-of-the-art digital tools, including AI tools for image, audio, video, and semantic analysis as well as crowdsourcing and aggregation tools, for the automatic enrichment of datasets at large scale.
