edm:WebResource

These are the properties that can be used for the class of edm:WebResource.
This means that they are attributes of the digital representation of the provided cultural heritage object, not the cultural heritage object itself.
There may be more than one edm:WebResource for each edm:ProvidedCHO. They will be linked via the ore:Aggregation using edm:hasView or one of its subproperties. One of these must be one of the mandatory properties edm:isShownAt or edm:isShownBy (and, for IMAGE objects, the link could be repeated in edm:object).
Each web resource should have its own set of properties. Europeana providers who wish to submit their IIIF 7 resources to Europeana can do so by using a small extension to the WebResource element from the Europeana Data Model. More details are available in the Guidelines for submitting IIIF resources for objects in EDM.
There are no mandatory properties for the edm:WebResource class.
The recommended property is marked in dark red.
The optional properties are left in black.
Provide the properties in the record in the same order given in this document, since the metadata validation performed by Europeana requires this order.

Properties of the edm:WebResource class
Property name | Description | Value type | Cardinality |
dc:creator | For the creator of the web resource. If possible supply the identifier of the creator from an authority source. Repeat for multiple creators. create a reference to an instance of the Agent class | literal or ref | 0....n |
dc:description | Use for an account or description of this digital representation | literal or ref | 0....n |
dc:format | Use for the format of this digital representation. (Use the value “3D‐PDF” if appropriate.)
| literal or ref | 0....n |
dc:rights | Use for the name of the rights holder of this digital representation if possible or for more general rights information. Note the difference between this property and the mandatory, controlled edm:rights property below. | literal or ref | 0....n |
dc:source | A related resource from which the Web resource is derived in whole or in part. | literal or ref | 0....n |
dc:type | The nature or genre of the digital representation. Ideally the term(s) will be taken from a controlled vocabulary. dc:type should not be (strictly) identical to edm:type. | literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:conformsTo | An established standard to which the web resource conforms. | literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:created | Date of creation of the Web resource. Europeana recommends date conforming to ISO 8601 starting with the year and with hyphens (YYYY-MM-DD). or create a reference to an instance of the TimeSpan class
| literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:extent | The size or duration of the digital resource.
| literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:hasPart | A resource that is included either physically or logically in the web resource.
| ref | 0....n |
dcterms:isFormatOf | Another resource that is substantially the same as the web resource but in another format. for a png image file of the described tiff web resource. Or as a link to a resource | literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:isPartOf | A resource in which the WebResource is physically or logically included. This property can be used for web resources that are part of a hierarchy. Hierarchies can be represented as hierarchies of ProvidedCHOs or hierarchies of web resources but not both at the same time. See the Task Force report on representing hierarchical entities.
| ref | 0….n |
dcterms:isReferencedBy | A related resource that references, cites, or otherwise points to the described resource. In a IIIF implementation, dcterms:isReferencedBy can be used to connect a edm:WebResource to a IIIF manifest URI.
| literal or ref | 0....n |
dcterms:issued | Date of formal issuance or publication of the web resource. Europeana recommends date conforming to ISO 8601 starting with the year and with hyphens (YYYY‐MM-DD). or create a reference to an instance of the TimeSpan class
| literal or ref | 0....n |
edm:isNextInSequence | Where one CHO has several web resources, shown by multiple instances of the edm:hasView property on the ore:Aggregation this property can be used to show the sequence of the objects. Each web resource (apart from the first in the sequence) should use this property to give the URI of the preceding resource in the sequence. | ref | 0....n |
edm:rights | The value in this element will indicate the copyright, usage and access rights that apply to this digital representation. It is strongly recommended that a value is supplied for this property for each instance of a web resource. The value for the rights statement in this element must be a URI from the list of available values. Note: rights statements must be exactly as specified there, which means they must start with http and not https. The rights statement specified at the level of the web resource will ‘override’ the statement specified at the level of the aggregation.
or This is a recommended property. | ref | 0….1 |
owl:sameAs | Provide the URI of another web representation of the same resource. | ref | 0....n |
