What is Europeana?
• Europeana is a service that brings together digital content from across the cultural heritage domain in Europe
• It makes the metadata freely available
• It is a catalyst for change in the world of cultural heritage.
• Our vision: We believe in making cultural heritage openly accessible in a digital way, to promote the exchange of ideas and information.

The Europeana Data Model
![Page 9: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EDM requirements & principles
1. Distinction between “provided objects” (painting, book, movie, etc.) and their digital representations
2. Distinction between objects and metadata records describing an object
3. Allow for multiple records for a same object, containing potentially contradictory statements about it
4. Support for objects that are composed of other objects
5. Support for contextual resources, including concepts from controlled vocabularies
Richer metadata with finer granularity
![Page 10: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Provide more semantics to the data
Build a semantic layer on top of Cultural Heritage objects
![Page 11: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EDM Classes
![Page 12: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ore:Aggregation(Identifier of aggregation)
edm:WebResource(Identifier of web resource)
edm:ProvidedCHO(Identifier of real object)
An aggregation with a provided CHO and a web resource
The three core classes
edm:aggregatedCHO
edm:hasView
![Page 13: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Aggregation with metadata
![Page 14: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Properties for the Aggregation
Mandatory:
edm:aggregatedCHO
edm:dataProvider
edm:isShownBy or
edm:isShownAt
edm:provider
edm:rights
Optional:
edm:hasView
edm:object
dc:rights
edm:ugc
The aggregation represents the set of related resources about one real object contributed by one provider. It carries the metadata that is about the whole set

Accessing and re-using Europeana data
![Page 21: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How do users access Europeana content?
Europeana aims to provide content in the users’ workflow – where they want it, when they want it.
User focused channels: Europeana.eu portal, social media exports
For programmers: API, search widget, semantic mark up, LOD pilot
![Page 22: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Europeana’s infrastructure is open for re-use
Europeana data available via
API
Search widgets
Semantic mark-up (schema.org) on portal

Some (approximate) numbers
Europeana database – 30 Million objects
LOD pilot – a subset of 20 Million objects
• contained nearly 1 Billion RDF explicit statements
• 4 Billion once you do all the RDF reasoning (sub-properties, sub-classes, etc) in OWLIM
• Ontotext has already loaded a chunk of data and is working on the update of it, in Europeana Creative.
![Page 24: Europeana and open data](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081518/54bc9d364a7959f6568b464e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Possible benchmarking queries?
Queries for exploring the dataset
• e.g. to generate the complete ordered list of Europeana aggregators and the data providers they gather
Queries for exploring the objects
• e.g. a list of works with a matching location/creator/title
• Simple graph traversal
Expressing EDM constraints (that cannot be done in OWL)
• Can RDF validation help e.g where at least one of two properties must be present (title or description)?
Queries to assist in data quality improvement
• Broken links, duplicates (or near duplicates), missing mandatory properties, missing thumbnails etc etc
For Information: We are starting a data quality task force if you are interested!

EDM design requirements
Compatibility with different levels of description
• Allow different levels of granularity
• A book, a page, a detail of an image
Standard metadata format that can be specialized
• Allow the specification of domain specific application profiles
• Enable the re-use of existing standards
• Allow the extension of the initial model

EDM basis
OAI ORE (Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse & Exchange) for organizing an object’s metadata and digital representation(s)
Dublin Core for descriptive metadata
SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) for conceptual vocabulary representation
CIDOC-CRM for the modeling of event and relationships between objects
Use the Semantic Web representation principles• RDF
• Re-use and mix different vocabularies together
• Preserve original data and still allow for interoperability
