Abstract:
Europeana is the European virtual museum which was established in
2008. Its ambition is to create a common space allowing to access the cultural
heritage of Europe from a single portal, by creating a network in all European
countries. To make the initiative technically possible, Europeana has built a
technological infrastructure to aggregate metadata from the different Europeana
countries and memory institutions, while keeping the original digitized content
on their sites. This paper presents Bulgariana, the Bulgarian chapter of
Europeana. It is part of the technical infrastructure of Europeana, an established
technical aggregator of Bulgarian cultural heritage content. It uses the two
Europeana representation models ESE and EDM. Bulgariana is also a community building initiative putting in place a Bulgarian wide network of professionals and institutions working together to preserve and present Bulgarian cultural heritage around the world.
