One of DEiXTo's most important success stories is our collaboration with Veria Central Public Library in the context of the EuropeanaLocal project. Veria Central Public Library is a really remarkable library that embraces technology and constitutes a successful model for libraries in Greece and around the world. That's why it received a 1$ Million international award from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in 2010.
DEiXTo powers the Hellenic Aggregator for Europeana, created by Veria Central Public Library. DEiXToBot based Perl scripts have enabled the metadata extraction of the Music Library of Greece “Lilian Voudouri”, the Greek Educational TV and Corgialenios Digital Library in a format suitable for further processing. Once extracted, their rich content was repurposed through customized Perl code and transformed into Europeana Semantic Elements (ESE) format so that it could then be inserted into the aggregator's database.
This is the reason why DEiXTo was cited at the Symposium "Europeana in Greece" that took place on 19 October 2010 in Athens, Greece, as well as at the 19th Hellenic Academic Libraries Conference (3-5 November 2010, Athens).
