Title: | Cultural heritage on the Semantic Web: The Europeana Data Model | Authors: | Silva, Ana Luísa Terra, Ana Lúcia |
Keywords: | Europeana Data Model; libraries; archives; Resource Description Framework; museums; convergence; Linked Data; Semantic Web | Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Sage Journals | metadata.degois.publication.title: | IFLA Journal | Abstract: | The Semantic Web allows data to be linked on the Web and structures information for use by humans and machines. Furthermore, it makes relationships between data explicit, enabling the creation of Linked Data. Based on a literature review, the principles and technologies underlying Linked Data are presented – namely, the Resource Description Framework and models developed for libraries, archives and museums. Europeana aggregates European institutions’ digital cultural heritage, having developed a model that follows linked-data principles. For a deeper understanding of this model, the Europeana Data Model is presented with examples of two representation approaches and the advantages of metadata enrichment in information discovery. The experience of the University of Coimbra with Europeana is briefly explained. Finally, the authors discuss the challenges that cultural heritage institutions face in adopting these models and freeing their information from the silos it is in, taking advantage of the potential that Linked Data provides. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113342 | ISSN: | 0340-0352 1745-2651 |
