1. The DM2E project aggregates metadata and content about digitized manuscripts from several European libraries and archives.
2. It develops an interoperability infrastructure using the Europeana Data Model and a DM2E extension to integrate heterogeneous metadata into a linked open data cloud.
3. The project also builds digital humanities applications like Pundit to showcase the usefulness of linked open data for research.

13. Europeana Data Model (EDM)
•Backbone of Europeana
•Unites several standards & vocabularies
•Representation of cultural heritage objects from libraries, archives and museums
•As generic as possible
•Can be specialised for different domains

14. DM2E Data Model
•EDM application profile for describing digitised manuscripts
•Specialises the basic EDM classes and properties related to digital manuscripts, e.g.:
•Physical Forms: dm2e:Manuscript, fabio:Cover etc.
•Conceptual Forms: dm2e:Paragraph, fabio:Chapter etc.
•Relations: dm2e:influencedBy, dm2e:printedAt, bibo:numPages, pro:author etc.
•Adds DM2E perspective about a dataset

•Enables a low level and pragmatic formalization of scholarly workflows
–What do Digital Humanists expect from digital integrated working environments?
–How can we formalize requirements using Semantic Web ontologies?
•Supported by the „Digital Humanities Advisory Board“
•Influences the development of Pundit and other components to come.
•Anticipates and triggers future developments and community activities beyond DM2E
