About the Learning Object
Summary
This Learning Object is for technicians (librarians, archivists, museum curators) involved in metadata mapping procedures. It could be a useful resource also for managers of cultural institutions because they can gauge the necessary skills their staff should have and decide if they can contribute to Europeana independently or with the help of an aggregator. The resource comprises 4 sections: Aggregators, the Linked Heritage project aggregator, the MINT platform, and Practical tips. The mapping workflow in MINT – the technological platform developed by the National Technical University of Athens – is described in detail in the training materials and further readings, and visualised through screencasts. The Learning Object also gives practical tips to technicians working on the mapping activities.
