Further steps API • Expansion of the Open Collection • User specific sets (Golden age, portraits, tulips) • Search options • Various data formats • Connecting to other sites and portals • LOD, RDF
Lessons learned • More apps and harvests than expected • Much more requests and questions than expected • Positive publicity and feedback • No loss of income • No more angry colleagues (after a while) • Apps are difficult to integrate • Supprised by interest from portals and abroad • App contents are fun. Enjoy! (but don’t expect them to solve all your problems) … Don’t show explicit art to American programmers
