Metadata Tier B

Metadata Tier B (Europeana website as an exploration platform)

If you want to increase the visibility of your content through our thematic collections and other browse entry points, at least 50% of the provided metadata elements that are relevant need to have at least one language tag. The metadata should now include at least three enabling elements covering at least two distinct discovery and user scenarios and one contextual class with all minimum required elements or link to LOD vocabulary (also with all minimum required elements).

Contextual classess

At least one contextual class with all minimum required elements, OR link to a LOD vocabulary we support.

Contextual resource referred by the ProvidedCHO: A contextual entity (an instance of a contextual class such as edm:Agent, skos:Concept, edm:Place, edm:TimeSpan) that is linked directly from edm:ProvidedCHO (ie. Provider's ore:Proxy) and therefore ignoring contextual resources that are only linked from other contextual resources via e.g. placeOfBirth.

Contextual classess	Minimum required metadata elements per contextual class
edm:TimeSpan	edm:begin AND edm:end
skos:Concept	skos:prefLabel AND (skos:broader OR skos:narrower OR skos:exactMatch OR skos:closeMatch OR skos:related OR skos:note)
edm:Agent	skos:prefLabel AND (edm:begin OR rdaGr2:dateOfBirth OR edm:end OR rdaGr2:dateOfDeath OR rdaGr2:professionOrOccupation OR rdaGr2:placeOfBirth OR rdaGr2:placeOfDeath)
edm:Place	skos:prefLabel AND wgs84_pos:lat AND wgs84_pos:long
