DM2E Content Provider Mappings
This section of the Wiki is a resource for those who want to understand the specific mappings that DM2E content providers have used to convert their metadata to the DM2E data data model. It also includes information on the source formats used by each content provider.

Overview of the DM2E Model
The DM2E model is a specialisation of the Europeana Data Model (EDM) for the domain of handwritten manuscripts. The EDM has been developed within the Europeana v1.0 project as an RDF-based data model for describing rich metadata records for Europeana, the European digital library5. It can handle huge metadata record collections represented by heterogeneous metadata standards that have to be accessible via the same platform. The EDM covers Cultural Heritage Objects (CHOs) that are collected and delivered to Europeana by diverse cultural heritage institutions. The model is as generic as possible and can be specialised for domain-specific descriptions like it is the case in DM2E. The DM2E model has been developed regarding the requirements of the projects data provider. These requirements have been collected and analysed during the whole period the project. Linked Data is the paradigm that drives the whole DM2E infrastructure. The DM2E model reflects this by explicitly defining classes for datasets and published data resources. This way, the meta-level of resource descriptions becomes a first-class member of the data model and can be used for annotations and provenance tracking. For more information on the DM2E model and to download the ontology itself refer to the following documents:

Annotatable Content Specification
In the following document you can find detailed technical information on the requirements for content for it be used in the DM2E Digital Humanities environment (with tools like Pundit and Ask):



Recommendations for the RDF representation of DM2E metadata
The document "Recommendations for the RDF representation of DM2E metadata" seeks to support content providers in creating concrete RDF representations of metadata mapped to the DM2E model. It does so by providing them with specific guidelines for how to encode certain aspects of the data such as time information, URI design or the representation of subject terms and hierarchies.
