In this webinar we will introduce Europeana Collections and its work with cultural institutions.

Europeana Collections offers online access to digital collections from over 3,700 galleries, libraries, museums and archives. The transfer of metadata from these institutions is done through a number of regional, national, domain and thematic aggregators. To have their collections published online, we have developed a data model, Europeana Data Model, that brings together specifications of other metadata formats, adds contextual information to the records and contributes to their publication as linked open data.

This session will cover briefly our recommendations for metadata quality, the possibilities of enhancement of certain fields and the various data re-use opportunities.
