Digitised Manuscripts toEuropeana (DM2E): What?
• Provide substantial amounts of digital content to Europeana with a focus on digitised manuscripts (WP1)
• Integrate existing technical building blocks – from Europeana development – as well as from generic LoD oriented development – into a generic production chain for migrating data from various
sources to the EDM as well – as for the contextualisation of the object representations (WP2).
• Explore usage scenarios of EDM metadata together with object data in a specialised RDF graph based platform for humanities research making available specialised visualisation and reasoning environments (WP3).

WP3: Digital Humanities Requirements and Related Engineering - Context
Goal: lower the barriers for digital content curation by providing an integrated, flexible, semantic based environment targeted to digital humanities scholars

Expected WP3 Results
• Prototype platform enabling digital scholarship in combining EDM RDF metadata, digital surrogates and Linked Data ...
• … building on an ontological representation of scholarly work based on a common understanding of its constituents
• ... resulting in a increasingly complex social semantic scholarly graph containing RDF statements such as– VersionA – isSuccessorOf – VersionB
– Statement1 – contradicts - Statement2
– ScribeY – copiedFrom – ScribeZ
• … and which could feed back richly contextualised EDM to Europeana!
