Object of the Project
The object of the project is the planning, implementation and operation of a Model Digital Information Center, on behalf of the General Secretariat for Media and Communication (GGEE), in the context of the Digital Modernization of the Public Sector based on the axis of the GGEE enhancing e-governance, for the Government, the Citizens and other recipients of its services (e.g. NCRTV, etc.). The project will fully cover the needs of the Organization and the Government, and it will also become a very important historical database offering open information. In this way, the operation of the General Secretariat for Media and Communication will be modernized and transformed into a standard digital public information center.
Individual objectives of the project
Upon completion of the operation, the resulting system will support the whole process of providing information to the government, organizations and citizens. The above procedure will be done in real time, on a 24/7 basis, during which there will be the possibility to store a large volume of the multimedia from the historical archive, from the Media.
During the implementation of the project, modern equipment and applications will be supplied and installed, which will be used, both for the automatic recording of content by the media and for its distribution and display to the staff of the organization and to other users, through a dedicated user management and content distribution platform, with corresponding usage rights that will also be implemented during the project.
The collection, as well as the journalistic analysis and content indexing services that will be implemented, will concern both Greek and foreign content, for the purpose of providing targeted information, based on user profiles and keywords.
During the project, two subsystems will be implemented, (a) the Television and Radio Program Recording and Monitoring Sub-system and (b) the Media Content Indexing Sub-system (newspapers, magazines, news websites and blogs, television and radio stations)
The resulting system will also be able to monitor the display of advertisements and to categorize them in a corresponding database, in order to further process their data and extract relevant statistical reports.
The individual objectives that are expected to be achieved with the implementation of the project are summarized as follows:
- Operation of a system that will archive all the media content on a daily basis, in a way that is classified and searchable.
- System operation that will accept, archive and edit documents, as well as digital and audiovisual media.
- Saving and editing of documents in electronic format (to be received as pdf files) together with the corresponding excerpts of the press.
- Digital storage of news websites.
- 24-hour operation of recording and storing a TV and radio program on digital discs, based on their new digital signal.
- Creating a Historical Open Information Database
By achieving the above objectives, the project contributes to the actions of the National Digital Strategy Framework and, more specifically, to the achievement of the objectives of “Field of Intervention 5 – Radical Review of the Public Services Provision Method.”
