“…Basically, digital humanities projects are interpreted as multiple scenarios for using archives and manuscript collections with varying extent of collaboration with archivists and librarians (Sabharwal, 2015) As a digital object, Europeana has been studied by many researchers in the past. Gaona-García (2017) writes an article that aims to explore Europeana digital resources as open learning repositories in order to re-use digital resources to improve the learning process in the domain of arts and cultural heritage. Various studies can be conducted related to the project.…”

This study examines Europeana, a European cultural heritage data aggregator. The purpose of this study is to explore the Europeana platform and its relationship in a broader field. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of Europeana development and demonstrate the significant alteration in the platform. A qualitative approach used in this study is descriptive methods and direct observation to Europeana website, alongside with literature review was conducted for the data retrieval technique. The research found that Europeana experienced a significance in the development and has several objectives, but more importantly emphasized more on creation, production and distribution process of digital heritage content in Europe. As a result, Europeana has a significant effect on cultural heritage sustainability through work closely with digitization to present the tacit knowledge in the public sphere and preserve cultural heritage object.

“…Derreferenble URIs allows the use of the HTTP protocol in content negotiation (Figure 14), that is, data transmission between the client (which indicates the format) and the server (which supplies data in the indicated format), [55]. In content negotiation, if a web client requests an object in a given format through the neutral URI, the server returns HTTP status code "303 See others", along with the URI where data is located in the format requested.…”

Linked Data, as a strategy of the Semantic Web, is based on application of some basic principles that contribute to the growth of the Web, thus allowing the transit of the Web of Documents to the Web of Data. Developed process by Linked Data is supported in different scenarios, which interact in order to carry out the linking of resources on the Web. Some of these scenarios present a solid technological background, while others propose challenges when they are implemented. This paper aims to identify and expose a generic abstraction of Linked Data, in order to identify problem situations that restrict Linked Data process.

PurposeThe study aims to paint a representative picture of the current state of search interfaces of Swedish online museum collections, focussing on search functionalities with particular reference to subject searching, as well as the use of controlled vocabularies, with the purpose of identifying which improvements of the search interfaces are needed to ensure high-quality information retrieval for the end user.Design/methodology/approachIn the first step, a set of 21 search interface criteria was identified, based on related research and current standards in the domain of cultural heritage knowledge organization. Secondly, a complete set of Swedish museums that provide online access to their collections was identified, comprising nine cross-search services and 91 individual museums' websites. These 100 websites were each evaluated against the 21 criteria, between 1 July and 31 August 2020.FindingsAlthough many standards and guidelines are in place to ensure quality-controlled subject indexing, which in turn support information retrieval of relevant resources (as individual or full search results), the study shows that they are not broadly implemented, resulting in information retrieval failures for the end user. The study also demonstrates a strong need for the implementation of controlled vocabularies in these museums.Originality/valueThis study is a rare piece of research which examines subject searching in online museums; the 21 search criteria and their use in the analysis of the complete set of online collections of a country represents a considerable and unique contribution to the fields of knowledge organization and information retrieval of cultural heritage. Its particular value lies in showing how the needs of end users, many of which are documented and reflected in international standards and guidelines, should be taken into account in designing search tools for these museums; especially so in subject searching, which is the most complex and yet the most common type of search. Much effort has been invested into digitizing cultural heritage collections, but access to them is hindered by poor search functionality. This study identifies which are the most important aspects to improve.
