Façonner l’Europe : l’histoire des élections au Parlement européen - ''Tous les cinq ans, les citoyens des 27 États membres de l’Union européenne ont la possibilité d’élire le Parlement européen. Ils choisissent les députés qui feront entendre leur voix et défendront leurs intérêts au niveau européen. Les députés européens se réunissent ensuite dans ce qui forme aujourd’hui un puissant forum de débat politique, investi de pouvoirs législatifs, budgétaires et de contrôle.

The "Personenstandsaufnahme" of 10 October 1941, a census conducted by the German occupier in Luxembourg with additional questions on nationality, mother tongue and ethnicity, is one of the best-known historical events in Luxembourg's contemporary history. Together with the strike against forced recruitment in August/September 1942, it remains an integral part of the culture of remembrance and historiography to this day.

In 1948, on assignment for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), David Seymour completed a three-month mission that took him to his home country of Poland as well as to Greece, Italy, Austria, and Hungary, where he visited cities and villages ravaged by war.

Historical research and the production of historical narratives relies on archives. With thedigital turn, both the notion and the function of archive have changed. The practices ofselection, curation, and interpretation of archival sources have been deeply affected by newscientific virtues such as accessibility, sharing, and participation. Web 2.0 technologies and the Internet gave rise to a new type of archive resulting from real time “capture culture” and “event crawls”.

Despite its historical divisions, Europe was built on a shared set of ideas, ranging from Greco-Latin humanism to the principles of the French Revolution. Over the centuries, many emperors, princes and conquerors, but also philosophers, writers and legal experts developed theories on the rapprochement of the peoples of Europe.

This chapter is not intended to offer an exhaustive state of the art, but rather to reflect on the evolving trends in the history of data networks. It highlights prominent topics within this history. It starts with the narratives surrounding ARPANET and explores government support, competition among companies, governance, and regulation. It looks at how the history of the Internet is linked with the history of pre-networking technologies and alternative developments in networking technologies in countries outside the United States.

Access to API is strategic for archiving and research. The recent European Union’s Digital Services Act (DSA) might be a decisive step forwards. But a recent report showed that the platforms’ policies set up to conform to the DSA are very diverse. And the efficiency of those APIs for researchers are yet to be evaluated. In other words, the DSA does not put an end to the APIcalypse: it is geographically limited, and the notion of “systemic risk” that is in the DSA remains ambiguous and this ambiguity allows those firms to restrict researchers’ access to their data.
