EDM Workshop "EDM turns five, so now what?"

Rijksmuseum, Museumstraat 1, 1071 XX Amsterdam, Netherlands

Five years ago, Europeana's first white paper, by Prof. Stefan Gradmann, advocated the design of an advanced data model, re-using existing pieces of web technology. The Europeana Data Model has now become a reality we can work with, together with our data partners and data re-users.

Europeana ingests, stores, enrichs and exchanges data following a richer, more semantic approach. In the process, EDM has been updated or "profiled" to enable new functions, such as representing hierarchical objects. This work continues, for example as Europeana prepares to handle more data enrichment, including coming from user annotations.

We maintain EDM is an open process, not a one-directional movement. EDM would not exist without the contributions of our data and academic partners! In the past years, task forces within the EuropeanaTech community have played a crucial role; for example for hierarchical objects, sounds, and compliance with other modeling approaches like CIDOC-CRM or FRBR. Once again we would like to make the definition of EDM 's future a collaborative effort.
