Cultural Heritage Content

• Diversity of cultural heritage content– Numerous metadata schemas to annotate content

(LIDO, CIDOC-CRM, EAD, METS ) • Massive digitization and annotation activities are in

progress• Need for interoperability

MINT Mapping Tool

• Provides users the ability to perform a mapping of their own metadata schemas to reference domain models

• Follows a typical web based architecture• It was developed for ATHENA, but it is currently used

for EUScreen, CARARE, Judaica, ECLAP, DCA and Linked Heritage

MINT 2 – What’s new?

• The backend was reconstructed for better performance– File size for imports is extended

• The frontend was updated– New interface– Workflow is integrated in UI– Facilitated browsing of input and target schema
