Europeana Public Domain Charter

Europeana version 1.0 is a 2.5 year project that will bring the Europeana.eu prototype to full service. In 2010 we will implement a new version of Europeana with added functionality and access to over 10 million digital objects.

The second phase of the project will see the launch in 2011 of a fully-operational Europeana.eu with improved multilinguality and semantic web features.

The project is funded under the Commission's eContentplus programme. It's a Thematic Network that brings over 100 partners from libraries, museums, archives and audio-visual collections together. We're building open source solutions and reusing technologies developed in related Commission-funded projects. Universities, ministries and heritage strategy bodies are also part of our knowledge-sharing consortium.

A richer data model
The Europeana Data Model (EDM) - a new way of structuring data that will bring the benefits of Semantic Web technology to Europeana.eu - has just been published. It will enable use of linked data, so when you search for the "Virgin Mary" you will also get "Mary, Mother Of Christ", "the Blessed Virgin" or "Heilige Maria".
