Tampa BSides - Chef's Tour of Microsoft Security Adoption Framework (SAF)
Publication of Europeana Sounds data in Europeana
1. Publication of Europeana Sounds data in
Europeana
Cécile Devarenne
Operations Officer
Metadata training, Europeana Sounds project
Athens, 25th/26th of June 2015
2. Content
✦ May and June publications in Europeana
✦ Organisation and processes in place
✦ About your data: feedback and quality
4. First publications
✦ May publication: 26,620 sounds records
successfully ingested and published into
Europeana
✦ One query for the whole project: http://
www.europeana.eu/portal/search.html?
query=europeana_collectionName
%3A20592*&rows=24&qt=false
✦ June publication: at the end of next week, 30,155
sounds records and 100 video records will be
retrievable
7. New submissions
✦ If you have not submitted data to Europeana yet, make
sure that your institution has signed the Data
Exchange Agreement
✦ Publication in Mint
➡ EDM data exposed on Mint’s OAI-PMH server
➡ One dataset per data provider
➡ Data ready to be harvested by Europeana
✦ Publication in Europeana
➡ Europeana ingests, maps, enriches your data
➡ Feedback is sent
➡ The process takes in average a month
8. Updates and addition of records
✦ Improve quality for existing data: un-publish,
update mapping and republish
✦ Ingesting more data: add new imports and publish
them
✦ Your Europeana collection keeps growing and can
regularly be updated on the Europeana portal
✦ Updates can be triggered every month at the latest
on the 21st; the list of datasets to be ingested is
sent by Tom.
9. Next round of publication
✦ Ingestion and publication of data will stop over
summer and resume at the end of August
✦ Next submission deadline is the 21st of August
✦ Your data will be live around mid-September
✦ If you are willing to receive feedback before the
deadline, you can publish your data in Mint and
inform Tom, we will be happy to get back to you :-)
12. Numbers! Submitted vs published
records
✦ Validation against the EDM schema: should not be
an issue since a valid record in EDM for Sounds is
also a valid record in EDM
✦ Importance of using persistent unique identifiers:
these identifiers populate the rdf:about property of
the ProvidedCHO class. If some identifiers are
duplicated or missing, records will be discarded
13. Numbers! Submitted vs published
records
✦ Count of records in Mint not necessarily based on
the amount of ProvidedCHOs, it is based on what
you choose as item level in the Define items screen
✦ Europeana publishes one records for each
ProvidedCHO
✦ For instance: 21,058 records were published in Mint
for the first delivery of RBB AIT DISMARC, out of
which 23,128 distinct providedCHO generated
23,128 records in Europeana
14. Display! Mint preview and Europeana
portal
✦ The Mint preview gives an idea of what your
record will look like on the Europeana portal
✦ Europeana performs editings and enrichments on
your provided data so the final display of your data
in the Europeana portal will not be exactly the
same as the Mint preview
17. EDM for Sounds vs EDM
✦ You map your data to EDM for Sounds
✦ A crosswalk between EDM for Sounds and EDM
was created by Nikos and reviewed by Valentine
✦ Both your data in EDM for Sounds and EDM are
exposed in Mint’s OAI-PMH endpoint
✦ Europeana ingests the EDM version of your data
✦ No data is lost, but the specificity of some
properties is not emphasized on the portal
19. Crosswalk
✦ One google doc: https://docs.google.com/
spreadsheets/d/

20. Thumbnails
✦ Using edm:object property
✦ It has to be a representation of the object you are
describing: should be unique, no logo will be
accepted
✦ One exception: record covers
22. Feedback: general
✦ Presence of mandatory elements
✦ Meaningfulness of the data: special attention to
titles and descriptions
✦ Think of the end user: for instance, in properties
related to measurements, add the measurement
units to make your data more understandable
23. Applicable class Mandatory Properties (or alternatives)
Aggregation edm:dataProvider
Aggregation edm:isShownAt or edm:isShownBy
Aggregation edm:provider
Aggregation edm:rights
Aggregation edm:aggregatedCHO
Aggregation edm:ugc (when applicable)
ProvidedCHO dc:title or dc:description
ProvidedCHO dc:language for text objects
ProvidedCHO
dc:subject or dc:type or dc:coverage or
dcterms:spatial
ProvidedCHO edm:type
Mandatory properties
26. Feedback: direct links and appropriate
rights statements for digital objects

27. Feedback: connections and collections
✦ Important part of the feedback is focused on
connections between classes and identifiers in
general:
✦ The aggregatedCHO rdf:resource property must
be filled in with the same URI as the rdf:about of
the providedCHO: this is predefined in Mint
✦ The web resources classes must have as
rdf:about the URL of one of edm:object,
edm:isShownAt, edm:isShownBy or
edm:hasView
29. Feedback: connections and collections
✦ How to model collections?
✦ How to model hierarchies and links between your
objects?
✦ To be reviewed in more details tomorrow, feel free
to ask us questions :-)
30. Enrich your data with specific Sounds
vocabularies (In Mint)
✦ ebucore:hasGenre needs to be populated with
concepts from the Sounds Genre vocabulary
➡See the manual for data providers and Mint
documentation
➡Please try to choose the most specific entries
possible: conditional mappings as presented
tomorrow will help
✦dcterms:medium can be populated with concepts
from the RDA Carrier Type vocabulary
31. Enrich your data with specific Sounds
vocabularies
✦ The Dismarc vocabularies were mapped in Europeana
tools and a link from Dismarc genre or format vocabularies
in your data can be dereferenced
➡ http://purl.org/dismarc/ns/dmFormats/80001000
➡ http://purl.org/dismarc/ns/dmGenres/13001
✦ Other vocabularies
➡ You can also include links to other standardized
ontologies such as MIMO musical instruments, MIMO
instrument makers, Viaf, Geonames, Gnd, IconClass,
AAT
➡ If you use local vocabularies, please create contextual
classes in EDM for sounds
32. Enrich your data with specific Sounds
vocabularies
✦This will be of major importance for presenting your
data in the Music channel
✦Further work on Sounds specific vocabularies
(choice of appropriate ontologies for your material,
multilingual translations, etc) can be achieved by
WP1
