Europeana - Customer Case Study

In September 2012, Europeana published its API allowing free access to all Europeana data – more than 20 million cultural heritage objects from all of Europe. A month later, the RDF dataset in EDM (Europeana Data Model) format was made available to the public. Ontotext was invited to host the Europeana SPARQL endpoint. Europeana SPARQL end point is a reason-able view of the web of data, loaded in GraphDB™ semantic repository with OWL-Horst inference, using Forest framework as a front end. It comprises 993 million explicit statements, and close to 4 billion retrievable statements.
