Europeana as a Linked Data (Quality) case Antoine Isaac with slides from Hugo Manguinhas, Valentine Charles, Juliane Stiller, Mónica Marrero and other colleagues 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web (WHiSe) Co-located with the 15th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2020) June 2, 2020
Outline CC BY-SA • Brief intro to Europeana • Metadata quality challenges • Using Linked Data technology to make data richer • Encouraging data enhancements across the board • How all this fits Research-related efforts
Who is Europeana? CC BY-SA ● A non-profit foundation ● A community of 2400 experts in digital heritage: the Europeana Network ● A mission: improve access to Europe's digital cultural heritage
What is Europeana? CC BY-SA ● The European Commission's digital platform for cultural heritage ● Providing access to over 58M objects from over 3500 museums, libraries, archives
What is Europeana? CC BY-SA ● An Open Data platform providing several services ● Europeana portal: https://europeana.eu ● Europeana APIs: https://pro.europeana.eu/resources/apis

Title here CC BY-SACC BY-SA What’s inside Europeana? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA ● Descriptive and technical metadata: title, creator, subject, rights… ● Editorial content like virtual exhibitions ● (recently started) user-generated metadata, incl. transcriptions, semantic annotations ● Thumbnails As a rule, digitized content is served on our partners’ websites Except for some specific projects ● Newspapers ● WWI user-generated content
Data flow in Europeana’s network Data providers: cultural institutions that provide metadata and links to digitized content Aggregators: organizations or projects that gather data from a specific country or domain (music, fashion, archaeology…)

Title here CC BY-SA Sparseness of (meta)data CC BY-SA
Title here CC BY-SA Heterogeneity Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA 58M objects, from 3,500 institutions ● Many different themes and types of objects Books, newspapers, letters, diaries, archival papers, paintings, maps, drawings, photographs, music, spoken word, radio broadcasts, film, newsreels, fashion, sculpture, 3D objects, and more ● Libraries, archives, museums have different ways to describe objects. Even within a sector, big differences can be observed
Title here CC BY-SA Multilinguism Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA 58M objects, from 44 countries ● Officially we get metadata in 38 languages ● But there are more languages used in individual metadata fields
Title here CC BY-SA Multilinguism Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA ● Officially we get metadata in 38 languages ● But there are more languages used in individual metadata fields • Over 400 language codes e.g., 6 values in x-aramaic-latn - not a valid code by the way • The most common case is lack of language information!

Title here CC BY-SA Data modeling for interoperability and richer metadata CC BY-SA ● Like many aggregators, we ask our providers to give metadata using one metadata model: the Europeana Data Model (EDM) ● But we cannot do whatever we like: we do not operate in isolation! ● Our approach must be ○ easy and rewarding for our partners ○ based on community-agreed best practices
A community sport • Involving (technical) experts from libraries, archives, museums and academics – the EuropeanaTech community • Adopting a collaborative, softer form of standardization http://pro.europeana.eu/europeana-tech Europeana Assembly General Meeting, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 2015
Title here CC BY-SA Prior to EDM: flat metadata records CC BY-SA ● No links between objects and persons, places… ● Mixing data on real object and digital content ● Causing a lot of mapping quality problems

Title here CC BY-SACC BY-SA Enriching metadata CC BY-SA • EDM gives a base for (linking to) multilingual, semantic metadata • data as resources with web URIs, not only strings • We encourage data providers to contribute their own links/data to local or external vocabularies • We are going to further develop crowdsourcing/"nichesourcing" of metadata • In parallel, we apply automatic enrichment to link object metadata to reference datasets for places, persons, concepts https://pro.europeana.eu/page/europeana-semantic-enrichment
Title here CC BY-SACC BY-SA Enriching metadata CC BY-SA
Title here CC BY-SACC BY-SA Enriching metadata – Contextual Entities CC BY-SA We are building an "Entity Collection" • Centralized point of reference and access to data about contextual entities: places, agents (persons and organizations), concepts... • Caching and curating data from the wider Linked Open Data cloud • A sort of Europeana knowledge graph • With a dedicated API https://pro.europeana.eu/page/entity#entity-collection
Data currently in the Entity Collection CC BY-SA • Places a subset of Geonames, corresponding to places which are part of European countries and of some specific feature classes. • Agents a subset of DBpedia corresponding to most of the instances of dbp:Artist with some exceptions, and integrated from 49 DBpedia language editions. • Concepts a subset of DBpedia and Wikidata corresponding to a selection of concepts matching our needs, e.g., WWI battles, music genres (Europeana Sounds aggregator) and a photography vocabulary (Europeana Photography aggregator) • Organizations Extracted from Europeana's CRM and aligned to Wikidata when possible 216,302 resources 1,572 resources 165,005 resources 1,077 resources https://pro.europeana.eu/page/entity#entity-collection
Selecting data sources CC BY-SA • Availability and access: open license, published as linked data • Granularity, size and coverage: multilingual data, with a rather generic scope. But too generic or too large datasets can create too much ambiguity for the simple processes we have (e.g., enrichment) • Quality: intrinsic aspects like correctness of representation • Connectivity: good data sources are well-connected internally and externally to other datasets
An example DBpedia resource for “Mozart” in the Entity Collection CC BY-SA Coreference links to 6 other datasets (e.g. Freebase, Wikidata) Inter-linking information Preferred labels for 48 languages
An enrichment example Links to contextual entities

Title here CC BY-SA Challenges for working on quality improvement ● Methodological frameworks are not easy to apply ● Getting stakeholders interested is hard for us ● Communication lines are rather long ● It’s a sensitive area ● It’s hard to get users involved CC BY-SA
Title here CC BY-SA A general effort on quality CC BY-SA We have set up a Data Quality Committee to analyze quality issues and make recommendations to the Europeana community about: ○ Mandatory metadata elements ○ Metadata checking and normalization ○ Multilingualism … http://pro.europeana.eu/get-involved/europeana-tech/data-quality-committee

Europeana & CLARIN • 180K Europeana sources loaded into CLARIN’s Virtual Language Observatory, Europeana now largest provider of individual metadata records in the VLO • Selection based on quality, accessability, processability and reusability • Full case study at https://bit.ly/2J5w8jc • Challenge for SW (not new!): generic & rich models/formats vs. community- specific & easier to consume Building partnerships with research infrastructures Europeana Research CC BY-SA
Title here CC BY-SA Semantic Web technology can help too, here Europeana is involved in initiatives that can help bridge gaps ● International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) ● Not only images : representation of document structures, (linking to) metadata, etc. ● With a strong focus on research cases (manuscripts, newspapers) Cf. https://www.slideshare.net/antoineisaac/iiif-and-the-europeana-mission ● Linked Art ● Shared Model based on LOD to describe Art ● Re-using a (LOUD) subset of CIDOC CRM CC BY-SA https://iiif.io https://linked.art
Title here CC BY-SA Semantic Web technology can help too, here ● The SW approaches enables to create links between underlying models and vocabularies ● W3C Web Annotation, CIDOC CRM, EDM ● Vocabularies expressed using SKOS ● Heavy reliance on JSON-LD ● Importance of data patterns ● Linked Open Usable Data - Rob Sanderson (Getty) ● See for example “The Importance of being LOUD” CC BY-SA https://www.slideshare.net/azaroth42/the-importance-of-being-loud

Title here CC BY-SA How do Europeana's data and services meet the FAIR requirements? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA Findable ● The Europeana aggregation network partially homogenizes its data via a shared data model ● Providers and Europeana seek to enrich the data with multilingual, semantic resources ● We promote persistent identifiers and links across them ● Europeana provides a search engine ● Data is made findable through other platforms (e.g., CLARIN) https://pro.europeana.eu/post/europeana-and-the-fair-principles-for-research-data
Title here CC BY-SA How do Europeana's data and services meet the FAIR requirements? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA Accessible ● Data is published as (Linked Data) web resources ● Freely available, standard web APIs Interoperable ● Europeana uses a community-based model ● Following best practices, such as mixing and re-using existing data models and vocabularies ● We promote more open and richer content access protocols (IIIF) https://pro.europeana.eu/post/europeana-and-the-fair-principles-for-research-data
Title here CC BY-SA How do Europeana's data and services meet the FAIR requirements? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA Re-usable ● The conditions for re-using digitized content are made clear, using shared vocabularies (Creative Commons, RightsStatements.org) ● Metadata is fully open – CC0 ● Data model seeks to bridge with other communities’ models, such as W3C Web Annotation, Schema.org https://pro.europeana.eu/post/europeana-and-the-fair-principles-for-research-data
CC BY-SA • Active in 2014-2016 • To develop the open data ecosystem, facilitating better communication between developers and publishers; • To provide guidance to publishers, promoting the re-use of data; • To foster trust in the data among developers • Linked Data, but not only! Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/
CC BY-SA • Use terms from shared vocabularies, preferably standardized ones • Check that classes, properties, terms, elements or attributes used to represent a dataset do not replicate those defined by vocabularies used for other datasets. • e.g. using the Linked Open Vocabularies repository • Or if you have to replicate, indicate mappings clearly Best Practice 15: Reuse vocabularies, preferably standardized ones Data on the Web Best Practices W3C Recommendation
CC BY-SA • Accept that (OWL) semantics establish precise specs and can enable automated reasoning but that complex vocabularies require more effort to produce and hamper reuse of data • Minimize ontological commitment of your vocabulary – or seek to minimize the commitment of others’ vocabularies • Check that inference does not produce too many statements that are unnecessary for target applications • Check examples of “softer” specs, e.g. Schema.org or SKOS Best Practice 16: Choose the right formalization level Data on the Web Best Practices W3C Recommendation
Title here CC BY-SA Is it perfect? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA No. In particular we would always like to get more input from users and researchers (the perspective is very CH- focused). But we’re working on it and we hope the situation is better than if we wouldn't have done anything! Has Semantic Web technology helped? YES

    Europeana as aLinked Data (Quality) case Antoine Isaac with slides from Hugo Manguinhas, Valentine Charles, Juliane Stiller, Mónica Marrero and other colleagues 3rd Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web (WHiSe) Co-located with the 15th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2020) June 2, 2020
  • 2.
    Outline CC BY-SA • Briefintro to Europeana • Metadata quality challenges • Using Linked Data technology to make data richer • Encouraging data enhancements across the board • How all this fits Research-related efforts
  • 3.
    Who is Europeana? CCBY-SA ● A non-profit foundation ● A community of 2400 experts in digital heritage: the Europeana Network ● A mission: improve access to Europe's digital cultural heritage
  • 4.
    What is Europeana? CCBY-SA ● The European Commission's digital platform for cultural heritage ● Providing access to over 58M objects from over 3500 museums, libraries, archives
  • 6.
    What is Europeana? CCBY-SA ● An Open Data platform providing several services ● Europeana portal: https://europeana.eu ● Europeana APIs: https://pro.europeana.eu/resources/apis

    Title here CC BY-SACCBY-SA What’s inside Europeana? Europeana Essentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA ● Descriptive and technical metadata: title, creator, subject, rights… ● Editorial content like virtual exhibitions ● (recently started) user-generated metadata, incl. transcriptions, semantic annotations ● Thumbnails As a rule, digitized content is served on our partners’ websites Except for some specific projects ● Newspapers ● WWI user-generated content
  • 9.
    Data flow inEuropeana’s network Data providers: cultural institutions that provide metadata and links to digitized content Aggregators: organizations or projects that gather data from a specific country or domain (music, fashion, archaeology…)

    Title here CC BY-SA Heterogeneity EuropeanaEssentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA 58M objects, from 3,500 institutions ● Many different themes and types of objects Books, newspapers, letters, diaries, archival papers, paintings, maps, drawings, photographs, music, spoken word, radio broadcasts, film, newsreels, fashion, sculpture, 3D objects, and more ● Libraries, archives, museums have different ways to describe objects. Even within a sector, big differences can be observed
  • 13.
    Title here CC BY-SA Multilinguism EuropeanaEssentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA 58M objects, from 44 countries ● Officially we get metadata in 38 languages ● But there are more languages used in individual metadata fields
  • 14.
    Title here CC BY-SA Multilinguism EuropeanaEssentials CC BY-SACC BY-SA ● Officially we get metadata in 38 languages ● But there are more languages used in individual metadata fields • Over 400 language codes e.g., 6 values in x-aramaic-latn - not a valid code by the way • The most common case is lack of language information!

  • 16.
    Title here CC BY-SA Datamodeling for interoperability and richer metadata CC BY-SA ● Like many aggregators, we ask our providers to give metadata using one metadata model: the Europeana Data Model (EDM) ● But we cannot do whatever we like: we do not operate in isolation! ● Our approach must be ○ easy and rewarding for our partners ○ based on community-agreed best practices

    Data currently inthe Entity Collection CC BY-SA • Places a subset of Geonames, corresponding to places which are part of European countries and of some specific feature classes. • Agents a subset of DBpedia corresponding to most of the instances of dbp:Artist with some exceptions, and integrated from 49 DBpedia language editions. • Concepts a subset of DBpedia and Wikidata corresponding to a selection of concepts matching our needs, e.g., WWI battles, music genres (Europeana Sounds aggregator) and a photography vocabulary (Europeana Photography aggregator) • Organizations Extracted from Europeana's CRM and aligned to Wikidata when possible 216,302 resources 1,572 resources 165,005 resources 1,077 resources https://pro.europeana.eu/page/entity#entity-collection
  • 28.
    Selecting data sources CCBY-SA • Availability and access: open license, published as linked data • Granularity, size and coverage: multilingual data, with a rather generic scope. But too generic or too large datasets can create too much ambiguity for the simple processes we have (e.g., enrichment) • Quality: intrinsic aspects like correctness of representation • Connectivity: good data sources are well-connected internally and externally to other datasets
