Linked Heritage
Linked Heritage is an EU co-funded project that aims to extend and enrich the content and metadata holdings of the Europeana digital library. The project – which builds on the earlier Athena project and runs from April 2011 until the end of 2013 – will tackle a number of tasks, including the coordination of terminologies, standards and technologies used, linking of cultural heritage data into the semantic web, training, and the ingestion of assets into the Europeana collection itself.
EDItEUR is leading one of the work packages (WP4) within the project, focusing on engaging the commercial publishing sector with Europeana, and on identification and metadata issues (including mapping between various metadata schemas in use). Participants in WP4 include EDItEUR members mEDRA and MVB, the German National Library of Science and Technology, (University Library Hannover), the Hungarian National Library in Budapest, the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico (ICCU) in Rome, Promoter in Pisa, Italy and Pintail Ltd in Dublin, Ireland.
