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

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.
