Break-out Session 2 - Open Culture

Session 2.1 "Re-use of data" register now!

Last year Europeana made the data repository accessible through its open search API. Since then, several of our partners have already implemented the API in their services. In the Re-use session we will hear how they integrated the API into their services, and the logic behind their approach. The workshop format will explore how your institution or organisation could benefit from opening up your data through an API or integrate other organisations' APIs in your services.
