This document discusses data modeling for performing arts metadata. It proposes using the Europeana Data Model (EDM) to model performing arts entities and relationships. EDM classes like ProvidedCHO, Event, Person and Place would be used to represent objects, performances, individuals and locations. Events would link related entities like photographs, productions and plays. Examples show how a source table could be modeled in EDM to separate different entity types and clarify relationships. Open issues include modeling abstract plays/productions and participation roles. The goal is to aggregate German cultural data in a standardized, linked format for the Performing Arts search portal.
