The European Library aims to promote the wider use and exposure of the collections it aggregates from its member libraries. With this purpose in mind, The European Library Open Dataset is now available through Europeana Research.
Linked Open Data is a way of publishing structured data that allows metadata to be connected and enriched, so that different representations of the same content can be found, and links made between related resources.

Europeana has progressively adopted the principles of Linked Data for representing, aggregating, and enriching the metadata it collects from the Cultural Heritage institutions of Europe. Its foundation is the Europeana Data Model (EDM) which enables the representation of links between cultural heritage objects and the entities surrounding them (people, places, concepts, timespans).
This prototype is based on a combination of SCAM framework (EntryStore) and Confolio (EntryScape) and allows the creation of online learning resources using Europeana metadata.
