Description

It includes MINT services and aggregation

About the Learning Object

Summary

This LO is for technicians (librarians, archivists, museum curators) involved in metadata mapping procedures. It could be a useful resource also for managers of cultural institutions because they can gauge the necessary skills their staff should have and decide if they can contribute to Europeana independently or with the help of an aggregator.

The resource comprises 4 sections: Aggregators, the Linked Heritage aggregator, the MINT platform and practical tips.
The mapping workflow in MINT, developed by the National Technical University of Athens, is described in detail in the training materials and further readings, and visualised through screencasts. The LO also gives practical tips to technicians working on the mapping activities.

Linked Heritage Technology Platform (en)


This document reports on deliverable D5.1 (Prototype, Public) “Linked Heritage Technology Platform”, that is made available online for validation and for the large-scale contribution of content to Europeana (in WP6) and for dissemination & training (WP7). The technology team led by NTUA integrated all the necessary components into a common technology platform, starting from the basis of the ATHENA ingestion server. The Linked Heritage Technology Platform provides content holders with the ability to perform in an efficient way the required mapping of their own metadata schemas to the project's reference metadata schema, as well as their publication to Europeana. It is based on NTUA's metadata interoperability platform MINT, that follows a typical web-based architecture offering an expanding set of services for metadata aggregation and remediation. It addresses the ingestion of metadata from multiple sources, the mapping of the imported records to a well-defined machine-understandable reference model, the transformation and storage of the metadata in a repository, and the provision of services that consume, process and remediate these metadata. http://www.linkedheritage.eu/index.php?en/142/documents-and-deliverables  (2012) 14 p. https://phaidra.cab.unipd.it/detail_object/o:13196
