Contributed to the implementation of EDM at Europeana Europeana now aggregates, processes, enriches and disseminates data using the Europeana Data Model. EDM past and present CC BY-SA

The role of EDM at Europeana EDM past and present CC BY-SA EDM allows Europeana to build a network of digital and born-digital cultural heritage objects thanks to the representation of semantic links and relationships between objects. Europeana can, for instance, support complex objects such as those described in archives.

The role of EDM at Europeana EDM past and present CC BY-SA Europeana builds its “Semantic Layer” by linking to contextual resources (e.g. concepts, persons, places). Relies on the URIs provided as part of the metadata Performs automatic semantic enrichment Read our new report on Evaluation and Enrichment: forces/evaluation-and-enrichments

EDM an open and living standard EDM past and present CC BY-SA EDM is developed to be as re-usable as possible. EDM can be seen as an anchor to which various finer-grained models can be attached, enhancing their interoperability at a semantic level Re-using existing vocabularies and defining mappings with existing standards is crucial for EDM to remain reusable by the cultural heritage domain

EDM an open and living standard EDM past and present CC BY-SA Many projects and partners have worked on enabling metadata interoperability with European either directly mapping their metadata to EDM according to the guidelines or create specialisations of EDM for representing specific use-cases and minimising the loss of metadata from their original metadata format to EDM Application profile Mapping Extension EDM

Maintaining EDM as an open and living standard EDM past and present CC BY-SA The model is well- documented and openly shared In a human-readable and machine-readable documentation Different documentation is produced for the various profiles of EDM: The EDM model as used by the data providers for data delivery. The EDM model for data enriched, stored and published by Europeana (containing the results of data enrichment, for instance) in its API or Linked Data service. This documentation is available on Europeana Labs. Specific EDM profiles supporting domain-specific data or specific functional requirements.

“The design of data models is decentralized and tailored to specific applications, while the data created and exchanged with them still forms a vast, semantically interoperable knowledge environment.” (EDM White Paper) United Kingdom, CC BY The Wellcome Library Luigi Garzi The birth of Adonis and the transformation of Myrrha

Have we achieved our vision? What is missing? EDM past and present CC BY-SA

Tournoi royal de motos à Londres : changement d'une roue de side-car en marche “In true linked data fashion, EDM ‘profiles’ can be developed without Europeana having to update the core model. Elements can be attached to the model without a corresponding implementation in Europeana's core platform. ” (EDM White Paper)

How will Europeana and the community handle the resulting diversity of profiles in a seamless way? EDM past and present CC BY-SA
