• The parties of the E-Varamu are all data providers from whom input information is imported and consolidated, analysed, indexed and saved in a unified form into the system’s index database and link collection. On the basis of that index, it is possible to create different output lists into the systems of third parties. • E-Varamu portal will be integrated into Europeana in 2016.

Services for partners • Unifying metadata of documents from different libraries, museums and archives. • Unifying materials by the same topic from different institutions. • Collaboration between different institutions in order to unify guidelines for metadata creation.
Services for users • The portal simplifies searches by reducing the number of clicks and ensuring easy access to the main Estonian databases and also by highlighting less known and less used databases. • The portal enables the creation of a personalized desktop where the user can save suitable links and searches. • Finding semantic relations between digital items, creating cross-references and suggesting them to the user is also important.
