Users, aggregators and Europeana drive MINT development

Drosopoulos, Athanasios (Nasos)
MINT is a web-based platform designed and developed to facilitate aggregation initiatives for cultural heritage content and metadata in Europe. It is employed from the first steps of such workflows, corresponding to the ingestion, mapping and aggregation of metadata records, and proceeds to implement a variety of remediation approaches for the resulting repository. It was introduced in the ATHENA project, the largest contributor of museum content to Europeana, to aggregate in LIDO over 5 million items from 135 organizations. The EUscreen project follows the same workflow for Europeana, while also providing a portal for Europe's television heritage where both the video content and metadata records are offered to users. Similarly, the CARARE, Judaica Europeana, ECLAP, DCA and Linked Heritage projects utilize MINT to implement aggregation and remediation requirements for their specific domain and tasks. The tool is also supporting the presentation and revision of the LIDO schema and the prototyping of the Europeana Data Model harvesting XSD and RDFS ontology. Europeana's evolution and respective requirements, different aggregator needs and strategies and, a growing user base are highly impacting the platform's development decisions and paths. Naturally, collaborations with other design and development teams are crucial, ranging from the analysis and requirements phase, to interfacing and integrating with other software and repositories. The talk will highlight some of the challenges and decisions that have guided MINT's development in this complex environment.
