08/06/2023: Free webinar: Methodologies for metadata enrichments
Join us for a training webinar on "Good practices on different types of enrichments" on June 8th, 2023 at 3 pm CET.
Europeana “augments” its data providers’ metadata by automatically linking text strings found in the metadata to controlled terms from Linked Open vocabularies. This process is called “semantic enrichment”. In this webinar we will present some experiences carried out to facilitate this process using automatic enrichment, artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing.
Agenda:
- Opening: Maria Teresa Natale (MCA)
- Maša Škrinjar (Europeana): Introduction to enrichment for Europeana
- Eirini Kaldeli (NTUA): The experience of automatic enrichment (texts and colours) in Europeana Crafted

20/06/2023: Join us for a free webinar on the ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality.
In the framework of the Common European Data Space for cultural heritage, we are organising a free training webinar "The ontology of Wikidata, how to interact with it for a better quality" on June 20th 2023 at 3 pm CET.
Many cultural institutions that aggregate data for Europeana use Wikidata elements to enrich their content and improve the quality of their data. The more Wikidata is effective, the better the quality of the results of those who use Wikidata will be.
In this webinar we will learn the characteristics of the Wikidata ontology and how to correctly add new items related to concepts absent in Wikidata by setting the relationships between them and the pre-existing elements (classes and subclasses).

Digital Service Infrastructure - April 2014 - August 2017
DSI 1 (April 2014 - June 2016) + DSI 2 (June 2016 - August 2017)
Objective
DSIs are composed of ‘core service platforms’ which enable trans-European connectivity and interoperability, and related ‘generic services’ which link national and sectorial infrastructures to the platforms.
Under funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Trans-European Telecommunications Networks Work Programme 2014 & 2016 , Europeana will develop into a widely recognised platform of services and resources, not only for metadata references, but also for access to cultural content, tools and technologies, projects and other services.
As a Digital Service Infrastructure, Europeana will continue to connect the online collections of Europe’s cultural heritage institutions.
The core objectives of the Europeana DSI are to innovate the aggregation infrastructure, boost the distribution infrastructure and work towards long-term financial stability through business model innovation.
To create a complete, cohesive and integrated Digital Service Infrastructure, Europeana relies on its partnerships with domain and national aggregating partners - including Michael Culture - are involved in the project, leading by Stichting Europeana Europeana Foundation.
Michael Culture is involved as the aggregator for museums.
