Recommendations for the representation of hierarchical objects in Europeana
Donald Weber, Alessia Bardi, Antoine Isaac · Ghent University Academic Bibliography (Ghent University) · 2013
The issue of handling hierarchical objects has been always an important topic for Europeana’s network of projects and Data Providers. The implementation of solutions in the Europeana portal has been delayed for a long time mainly due to the fact that complex objects required the development of new functionalities that could not be supported by the Europeana Semantic Elements (ESE) model. Indeed the simplicity and the flatness of this model prevented Data Providers from supplying complex objects.
