As part of ERCDI\u2019s activities, the portal\u2019s search function and user interface are being developed so that research and cultural heritage collections are easier to find and more convenient to use. The technical development of the portal is carried out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/en\/cybernetica\/\" target=\"_self\">Cybernetica AS<\/a>, which introduced the planned updates in a short interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.

How will E-varamu become better for users after the development?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current E-varamu search does not always give users the results they expect. The new development will add the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a more relevant and comprehensive semantic search, including from audio materials;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a more compact data layer for persons;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the AI-based search assistant MARI;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>transcription of audio and video materials and the creation of summaries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyber_quote.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyber_quote.png 851w, https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyber_quote-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyber_quote-768x284.png 768w, https:\/\/www.etkad.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyber_quote-18x7.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.
