Re: Europeana API as an evidence for the DWBP

Dear Bernadette,

Quickly wanted to point out that at our university's knowledge on 
web-scale research lab, we commonly use the Europeana API as an example 
of how not to publish data on the Web. The reasoning behind this is 
reflected in these 2 blog posts:

  * https://ruben.verborgh.org/blog/2013/11/29/the-lie-of-the-api/

  * 
http://blog.pieter.pm/2016/04/i-do-not-want-your-open-data-api-id-rather-scrape-your-website/

Kind regards,

Pieter Colpaert
