From Athenawiki

The WP4 will provide by the end of the project:

• Analysis and comparison of existing terminologies (dictionaries, thesauri, classifications, taxonomies, ontologies, etc...) used by museums in a cross-domain perspective, to be compared with the ones adopted by the other sectors of cultural heritage, in order to facilitate their harmonisation and integration into Europeana;

• Analysis and comparison of existing or possible multilingual tools (thesauri, cross language retrieval tools, technical solutions...) to access resources available in museums and other cultural heritage institutions;

• Recommendations for data providers in order to facilitate semantic integration of their content into Europeana and proposals for the next developments of Europeana. It will work jointly with the “Europeana: the European digital library network” (thanks to the participation of the Stichting European Digital Library and the Michael Culture AISBL) and the MultiMatch projects, and also the recommendations provided by the Interoperability Expert Group chaired by the European Commission.”
