Basic Concepts - EDM

Europeana Data Model The Europeana Data Model (EDM) is aimed

at being an integration medium for collecting, connecting and enriching the descriptions provided by Europeana content providers.

EDM is an ontology. In other words it can be considered as a vocabulary consisting of classes and properties that describe the Digitized Cultural Heritage domain

What is MINT?

MINT is an open source, web based platform for Metadata INTeroperability It has been successfully used in more than

15 Europeana feeder projects More than 6.000.000 metadata records

have been produced by it and published on Europeana

6

MINT for Europeana Sounds

Available at http://mint-projects.image.ntua.gr/sounds/

MINT is used within the project for The transformation of providers in house

metadata to high quality EDM Sounds and EDM metadata.

The publication of EDM metadata on Europeana.

MINT Workflow

Create a user and an organization Import your metadata Perform a mapping to EDM Sounds Check the validity of your mapping Transform your metadata Preview, check the quality and publish Check the numbers on NTUA’s OAI-PMH

server
