Europeana Data Model (EDM) 
• Backbone of Europeana 
• Unites several standards & vocabularies 
• Representation of cultural heritage objects 
from libraries, archives and museums 
• As generic as possible 
• Can be specialised for different domains 
Enabling humanities research in 11.12.2014 the Linked Open Web 10
DM2E Data Model 
• EDM application profile for describing digitised 
manuscripts 
• Specialises the basic EDM classes and properties 
related to digital manuscripts, e.g.: 
• Physical Forms: dm2e:Manuscript, fabio:Cover etc. 
• Conceptual Forms: dm2e:Paragraph, fabio:Chapter etc. 
• Relations: dm2e:influencedBy, dm2e:printedAt, 
bibo:numPages, pro:author etc. 
• Adds DM2E perspective about a dataset

Evaluation of the prototype platforms 
• Two groups of digital humanities scholars 
• Exercises, Surveys, Discussion with DH Scholars 
11.12.2014 Enabling humanities research in the Linked Open Web 
30
Evaluation of the prototype platforms 
Results Wittgenstein Pilot Group 
DH scholars of the test group could 
imagine using the platform for a variety 
of scenarios such as 
• Propaedeutic uses 
• Close reading 
• Creating citation networks 
• Collaborative research scenarios 
• Teaching 
• Refining ontologies 
DH solutions in the LOD context 
• Discussions about the publication 
status of semantic annotations 
• Credibility 
• Intellectual property rights 
• Characteristics of ontologies 
Enabling humanities research in the Linked Open Web 
11.12.2014 
Results Burckhardtsource Group 
Pundit systematically used for 
proofreading and semantic annotation 
• The reader is facilitated in his 
understanding of the sources 
• More experienced users are also able 
to create "intellectual mappings" of 
an author 
• Topics and interesting fields can be 
highlighted 
• Semantic annotations are both useful 
for the scholars working with the 
material and for others who may 
want to re-use the semantically 
enriched data 
31
Objectives of DM2E WP1 
Set up a test scenario with WP3 on 
semantic enrichment of digital material 
and on rich feature extraction from 
digital objects. 
Enabling humanities research in 11.12.2014 the Linked Open Web 32
Objectives of DM2E WP1 – Wrap Up 
• Analyse source structures and map them to DM2E. 
• Communicate requirements of content providers to WP2. 
• Test DM2E’s content translation interface. 
• Integrate content into Europeana using DM2E’s 
Interoperability Infrastructure. 
• Set up a test scenario with WP3 on semantic enrichment 
of digital material and on rich feature extraction from 
digital objects.
