Within the XReco project, Eviden has developed a Metasearch Service, a platform that allows user search across multiple media archives and data sources from a single access point. It doesn’t replace existing systems; instead of that, it connects them. The service helps users find relevant content even if it’s stored in different formats, annotated differently, or located in multiple repositories. This is particularly useful in fast-paced environments like newsrooms, where professionals need quick access to verified content from different sources and stored in different locations. But its benefits are also being explored in broader multimedia-related settings.

Beyond the metasearch functionalities, Eviden is studying how other project outcomes such as content enrichment, knowledge graph building, or cross-modal linking can be integrated into future digital services or adapted to the customer’s needs.
