Europeana aggregators’ forum (EAF) refers to a network of national, domain and thematic aggregators who support cultural institutions providing data and content to Europeana.
***Invite only*** The Europeana ecosystem builds on a network of national, thematic and domain aggregators enabling cultural heritage institutions to share their content with Europeana and open it up to new audiences. The Europeana Aggregators’ Forum (EAF) is the place to coordinate all activities required for the effective functioning of this pan-European cross-domain aggregation ecosystem at operational and strategic level. Accredited aggregators to the Europeana service come together twice a year for the meetings of the EAF. The EAF gets together online for its first meeting in 2021, on 20 and 21 May. On the first day we focus on a number of strategic aspects to shape the aggregation ecosystem. On the second day we will learn about use cases and good practices of AI that can help aggregators to e.g. improve data. References: |

Europeana APIs refers to a range of services which offer remote discovery and access to the data that is made available on the Europeana website, allowing its use in projects, applications and websites.
If you think APIs are just a way of integrating tools and apps, then think again. They can help us to work closer together in research, education and the creative industries than ever before. Europeana APIs allow you to build applications that use the wealth of our collections drawn from the major museums and galleries across Europe. Their scope includes millions of cultural heritage items (from books and paintings to 3D objects and audiovisual material) that celebrate around 4,000 cultural institutions across Europe.

Europeana café refers to an informal, unrecorded networking event where a specific topic is being discussed without specific goals or outcomes. Participants are given the equal right to participate.
The Europeana Café provides an opportunity for cultural heritage professionals to get to know and inspire each other, to reflect on specific but broadly formulated topics, and to exchange experiences. It aims to encourage and support the informal discussions that would take place at physical events (for example, during coffee or lunch breaks or drinks and dinners) in an online format. Capacity Building is one of the three priorities in Europeana’s strategy for 2020-2025. Currently work is being done on developing a Capacity Building Framework and a strategy for this framework. If ordering and enjoying a coffee is the equivalent of a learning experience, and serving coffee is offering a training or course, then the Capacity Building Framework is the coffee shop — including the menu, staff, training, management, building, interior, user experience, design of ordering a coffee, suppliers, following new trends, and business plan to keep everything running. In this Café, find out how our framework will provide a structure for building capacity, as Sebastiaan ter Burg gives insight in the current status of Europeana’s capacity building framework strategy and, more importantly, how it will or might support you and your work in the future.

Europeana digital service infrastructure (DSI) refers to the infrastructure that provides the key services of Europeana. DSIs are composed of ‘Core Service Platforms’ and ‘Generic Services’ which link national infrastructures to the Core Service Platforms.

The consortium partners worked in close collaboration with domain and national aggregating partners to create a complete, cohesive and integrated Digital Service Infrastructure for cultural heritage.

Europeana semantic elements (ESE) refer to the first Metadata standard developed by Europeana, now superseded by the Europeana Data Model.
ESE is a flat model and metadata about the original object, its web representation and the aggregation are undifferentiated in the element set. EDM enforces the separation of data about these different entities but we cannot automatically tell which property belongs to which class. The default mapping makes some broad assumptions about where the data should go. These decisions may well be sub-optimal for any particular collection of data. For example, dcterms:created may be the date of creation of the original object or the date of digitisation; dc:format may be the format of the original object or the file format of the digital representation.
