2. Europeana v2.0
“The aim of this Thematic Network called Europeana v2.0 is to
provide the Europeana Foundation which is responsible for
Europeana with the majority of the funding required to ensure
the continued running and development of Europeana from
October 2011 to February 2014.”
WP7 Innovation
“Objective of this work package is to continue to develop the
Research and Development Community that has built up
around Europeana. This community needs to be facilitated to
continue to meet, to innovate and undertake research needed
for the future of Europeana. Such innovation and research is
also beneficial for the broad cultural heritage and research
communities.”
3. Key objectives of WP7 - Innovation
Continue to develop the R&D Community around
Europeana
Identify future innovation potential for the development of
Europeana services
Encourage experimentation with new applications
Main areas of work:
Further establishment of the developers network
Extension and maintenance of FLOSS inventory
Solutions for user interaction and user generated content
Semantic Web and Linked Data
Contribution to multilingual features of Europeana

8. Report by Task Force: Recommendations for the
representation of hierarchical objects in Europeana
Case studies provided by the various domains
represented in Europeana
EDM models proposed for various types of
hierarchies

9. Report by Task Force: Report on EDM – FRBRoo
Application Profile
The aim of the task force was to extend, correct or
restrict this suggested mapping and provide
examples for the use of the combined EDM and
FRBRoo namespace clusters.
This report delivers combined models in terms of
properties and classes of EDM and FRBRoo
illustrated by sample data.
The report also provides principles for modeling
and mapping rules based on the experiments of
the working groups.

10. Task Force on EDM Mappings Refinements
and Extensions
The main work of the task force will consist of
collecting mappings / extensions to / of EDM and
summarizing as well as documenting all strands of
work from different partners and projects into an
overall 'big picture’
• The number of contributing content partners is steadily
increasing within this network and with this also the
number of metadata formats, schema, etc. the EDM has to
integrate.
• A lot of different projects and partners have been working
on different adaptions, refinements and mappings
Chairs: Valentine Charles and Marlies Olensky
11. Task Force on Multilingual & Semantic
Enrichment Strategy
Focus on collections that are multilingual
Identify vocabularies that can be used to enrich
them
Workshop in Berlin, November 8
Chairs: Vivien Petras, Juliana Stiller & Antoine
Isaac
