Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 402))

Abstract

By means of Digital Libraries, entire archives can be made available to users at a click away; but due to the fact that the representation as accurate and as wide as possible of the events in which Cultural Heritage plays an essential role in understanding the past, the metadata aggregators must use data models that satisfy the demands of information. We present the workflow behind the eCHO Framework, a framework which allows users, on the one hand, to sanitize, normalize and interconnect data represented according to LIDO XML Schema, and on the other hand, to take advantage of the representation of metadata through the event-centric approach of Europeana Data Model. Eventually, it is presented the applicability of the use of this framework in the context of identifying the time periods in which took place the most important events in which the Romanian Cultural Heritage have been involved in, statistics that can be extended to the purpose of identifying the lifestyle of the population.
