Europeana and the Mediterranean Region
• There is a new Web. It is like an universal database
• Europeana is at the cutting ledge of this new
developments
• Europeana is open: Content, Source Code, Development
They can be used by the Mediterranean.
• Access to quality content in the new environment
require good vocabularies (taxonomies, thesauri…)
• Vocabularies can be an initial focus for Mediterranean
collaboration

Europeana ― the vision
Europe’s digital libraries,
archives and museums
online
• A showcase for Europe’s
cultural and scientific
heritage
• A flagship project of the
European Commission and
the European Parliament.
“A digital library that is a single,
direct and multilingual access point
to the European cultural heritage.”
European Parliament, 27 September 2007
“A unique resource for Europe's
distributed cultural heritage …
ensuring a common access to
Europe's libraries, archives and
museums.”

Background reading
• EDM Primer
http://www.few.vu.nl/~aisaac/edm/EDM_Primer_100401.pdf
![Page 44: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Rationale of EDM
• Precursor: ESE (Europeana Semantic Elements)
– used in 2008 version of Europeana
– represents lowest common denominator for object metadata
• convert datasets to Dublin-Core like standard
– forces interoperability
– major drawback: original metadata is lost
• EDM goals
– preserve original data while still allowing for interoperability
• Semantic Web representation
![Page 45: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
EDM requirements
1. Distinction between “provided object” (painting, book,
program) and digital representation
2. Distinction between object and metadata record
describing an object .
3. Allow for multiple records for same object, containing
potentially contradictory statements about an object
4. Support for objects that are composed of other
objects
5. Standard metadata format that can be specialized
6. Standard vocabulary format that can be specialized
7. EDM should be based on existing standards
– “not yes another standard” !
![Page 46: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
EDM basics
• OAI ORE for organization of metadata about an object
– Requirements 1-4
• Dublin Core for metadata representation
– Requirement 5
• SKOS for vocabulary representation
– Requirement 6
OAI ORE, Dublin Core and SKOS together fulfil
Requirement-7!
![Page 47: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
EDM representation: RDF standard
• Ovals are web resources with a URL
• Arcs are properties linking resources to other
resources or to literals
• Resources belong to classes
• RDF model can be specialized using subclass and
subproperty definitions
![Page 48: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Dublin Core
• EDM uses the latest version of DCMI Metadata Termshttp://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/
• Specified with an RDF model
• Specialization of 15 original DC elements
• dcterms:coverage
dcterms:spatial
dcterms:temporal
• Can be specialized itself– see requirement
![Page 49: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
SKOS: vocabulary publication on the Web
• W3C standardhttp://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/
• Adopted by large institutions such as Library of
Congress
• Specified with an RDF model
• Can be specialized itself
![Page 50: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
OAI ORE
Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse & Exchange
• Specification:http://www.openarchives.org/ore/1.0/toc.html
• Specified with an RDF model
• Four key notions (RDF classes)– Object: the book/painting/program being described
– Aggregation: organizes object information from a particular provider (museum,
archive, library)
– Digital representation: some digital form of the object with a Web address
– Proxy: the metadata record for the object
![Page 51: Alexandria winer20100623](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558eb35d8b42ad7138b533b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

The award-winning Where Once We Walked
(WOWW) has been completely revised and
updated to reflect the changes in the political
geography of Central and Eastern Europe
since WOWW was published in 1991. There
are also a number of improvements to the
original edition noted below. The new edition
identifies more than 23,500 towns in Central
and Eastern Europe where Jews lived
