Some Thoughts about Rivers
• A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing toward an ocean, a lake, a sea or another river….
• Danube, Rhine, Yealm (a river in the UK)….
• DRY Coding or Don’t Repeat Yourself• Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system

Open Source & Sharing Code in EuropeanaLabs
• EuropeanaLabs!
• A development infrastructure with test-suites of high quality data for creating, testing and evaluating innovative solutions for Europeana
• Development environment for rapid prototyping• Large high quality data collection• Sandboxes for experimenting prototypes on real data for
• Effectiveness
• Efficiency
• and benchmarking for• Scalability

Sandboxes as integral part for developing innovative technologies for EuropeanaV1
• Validate candidate technologies for the v1.0 release with regards to searching, aligning semantics in a multidimensional content space, cross-lingual and cross-cultural information retrieval
• Get hands on experience with ingesting and mapping a plethora of: metadata formats, languages, controlled vocabularies, etc.
• Start building a pan-european network of content aggregators and cultural heritage partners
• Validate strategies to guarantee future scalibility, maintainability, agility and extensibility of the Europeana business model.
