In September last year, at the ALIA 2014 conference, I spoke about Trove at 5, and asked ‘are we there yet’, focusing on Trove’s audiences and the work still ahead to extend its reach to a full cross-section of the Australian community. Today I would like to focus on where ‘there’ is, by comparing Trove
to three other cultural aggregators, Europeana
Digital NZ
And Digital Public Library of America
These are the services with which Trove is sometimes compared and with which we have fairly close contact. I think of them as the aggregator siblings. All four aggregate metadata describing content from multiple contributors so that users can discover resources through a single portal, and developers can access resources through a single API platform. All are based on a common value of making it easier for the public to access, enjoy and use the collections of cultural institutions.
