Europeana, more than data aggregation?
1. Europeana, more than data aggregation?
Antoine Isaac
Europeana
UvA Digital Heritage mini-symposium, Dec. 12, 2013
2. Europeana.eu, Europe’s cultural heritage portal
30M objects from 2,200 galleries, museums, archives and libraries
Text
Video
Image
Sound
3D
3. What Europeana gets (and makes available)
Descriptive
metadata
Link to digital
objects online
4. Who submits data to Europeana?
Domain Aggregators
National initiatives
Libraries
National Aggregators
e.g.
Culture
Grid,
Culture.fr
e.g. The
European
Library
Regional Aggregators
Archives
e.g. APEX
Audiovisual
collections
e.g. EUScreen,
European Film
Gateway
Thematic collections
e.g. Musées
Lausannois
e.g. Judaica Europeana,
Europeana Fashion
5. Distributing Europeana content
Europeana aims to provide content in the users’ workflow –
where they want it, when they want it.
Web portal, project portals/exhibitions, social media, app
Others using Europeana data independently
Unique point of access,
with higher visibility
6. Europeana as infrastructure open for re-use
Available via
API
Search widgets
Semantic mark-up (schema.org) on portal
Linked Open Data
Providing publication services that smaller institutions
may not be able to develop
9. Trying to reach new audiences
Digital humanities
Creative industries
Education
…
10. Facilitating re-use on the legal side
Distinguishing two levels of rights
Metadata (descriptive object information)
CC
Content (digital objects on the site of the provider)
Different
options
11. Rights Statements for content
Open
Not open – but
clear
Not open –
and not so
clear
The framework is in continuous improvement!
15. Prior to EDM: ESE records
dc:contributor, dc:creator, dc:date, dc:format, dc:identifier,
dc:language, dc:publisher, dc:relation, dc:source,
dcterms:alternative, dcterms:extent, dcterms:temporal,
dcterms:medium, dcterms:created, dcterms:provenance,
dcterms:issued, dcterms:conformsTo, dcterms:hasFormat,
dcterms:isFormatOf, dcterms:hasVersion, dcterms:isVersionOf,
dcterms:hasPart, dcterms:isPartOf, dcterms:isReferencedBy,
dcterms:references, dcterms:isReplacedBy, dcterms:replaces
dcterms:isRequiredBy, dcterms:requires
dcterms:tableOfContents
europeana:type
europeana:dataProvider
europeana:provider
europeana:isShownAt
europeana:isShownBy
europeana:object
europeana:rights
Flat model, no links e.g. between objects and context
entities (persons, places)
Data on real object and digital content mixed in one
record
A lot of mapping quality problems
22. EDM is ready for metadata enrichment
Re-using third-party sources
• GEMET, GeoNames, DBpedia
Multilingual + semantic features
By providers or Europeana
• Hopefully in collaboration!
23. Benefiting from existing R&D
Re-using existing stuff: OAI-ORE, Dublin Core, SKOS…
EuropeanaTech
community
EDM is cross-community development involving library,
archive and museum experts, plus academic partners
Not a strict standard, rather a common ground…
26. Europeana’s vision and mission
We believe in making cultural heritage openly
accessible in a digital way, to promote the
exchange of ideas and information.
We want to be a catalyst for change in the world of
cultural heritage.
Aggregation is more than just gathering data!

Data is available as ‘data dumps’ for Linked Open Data initiatives from data.europeana.eu.
Europeana's move to CC0 is a step change in open data access. Releasing data from across the memory organisations of every EU country sets an important new international precedent, a decisive move away from the world of closed and controlled data.
Note that previews can only be used in accordance with the rights information displayed next to them.
HISPANA and Partage Plus both use the Europeana API to include Europeana search results on their own websites
