ANN: Europeana Linked Data Pilot

Hi,

we are happy to announce the first Europeana Linked Open Data Pilot release: http://data.europeana.eu

data.europeana.eu currently contains metadata on 3.5 million texts, images, videos and sounds gathered by Europeana (http://www.europeana.eu). These objects come from content providers who have reacted early and positively to Europeana's initiative of promoting more open data and new data exchange agreements. These collections come from 10 direct Europeana providers encompassing around 300 cultural institutions from 17 countries. This gives us an RDF dump containing approximately 185M triples.

Here is an example URI to get started with: http://data.europeana.eu/item/09404/C3C50BD0958EE18ECE1B8F93780DC84D8273664F

We appreciate your feedback for further enhancements. Please contact us [1] or post to this list!

- Bernhard & Antoine
