CRM Mapping

got from CRM site: crm_mappings, tools.

- CidocXML2RDFv6 (Sep 2011): includes CRMdig ontology for Digitalization (3D COFORM)
- MappingTool (v 1.1) (Oct 2010): includes GUI tool for mapping, generates XML of mapping , implements the mapping process

[^Mapping a Data Structure to the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (2002).pdf]: presentation
[^Mapping Language for Information Integration (FORTH TR385 Dec2006).pdf]: paper describing the process

This is all about slicing, dicing and combining source paths to target paths.

Proposes a conceptual structure for describing mappings, in the form of XML schema:

TalenD

Open source ETL framework.

Used extensively by Onto's LifeSci group: see [LIFESKIM:Talend] intro, [Tutorial]
Proposed for use by FP7 SME [CG:Linked City]
Used by UC Berkeley for a CollectionSpace deployment

Vaso and Deyan Peychev swear by it. Includes:

GUI for creating and Framework for executing complex ETL flows, with exception catching, document routing, etc
GUI for creating mappings, eg from XML to RDF.
I'll talk to Deyan on Sep 30 whether the TalenD mapper can implement CRM path slicing & dicing

MINT

Data conversion toolkit used by FP7 Athena to contribute to Europeana

Delving

The source of Europeana conversion tools was donated
a group of Europeana core developers founded Delving (http://www.delving.eu), to continue developing the source and offer professional services
open source on github: https://github.com/delving/delving
"currently being adopted by a wide variety of Cultural Heritage Institutions across Europe. The development and the current feature set would not have been possible without the support and contributions by these organisations"

The platform includes:

Aggregator toolkit, including SIP Creator
SIP means "Submission Information Package", which is a name for the metadata sets that Europeana ingests through OAI-PMH
- Graphical Metadata Mapping and storage Tool (may be useful for Rembrandt & Cranach data conversion)
  Can source any XML. Generates the "obvious" mappings. Scriptable using Groovy and a simple domain-specific-language for splitting and joining fields, etc. Excellent movie
- Metadata Repository accessed via OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative - Protocol for Metadata Harvesting)
- Integrated Solr/Lucene Search Engine, Open-Search API
- Persistent Identifier Management
- Dynamic Thumbnail Caching
- Source XML Data Analyser
- Data Set Upload and Remote Management

Web Portal
Make digital objects discoverable by the rest of the world through a web portal with powerful search features. The portal has an integrated multilingual Content Management System and interface support for 28 European languages and role-based User Management.
- Web Portal
  - Simple & Advanced search
  - Summary Views as Grid or List
  - Facet-based result drill-down
  - Related Items
  - Detailed Metadata Result View
    Interface Support for 28 European Languages
- User Management
  - Create and manage users
  - Custom views based on user-roles
- Integrated CMS
  - Create pages and custom content
  - Upload images
  - Create custom menus
  - Simple versioning system
- Annotation Component for Objects, Images, Movies and Maps (donated by Austrian Institute of Technology, full integration planned in 2011)

CultureCloud

CultureCloud is a sort of transnational Europeana aggregator that wants to do a lot of things that would be important for us.
E.g. terminology mapping, cross-linking of objects, crowd-sourcing (many people being able to edit), Europeana publishing...

Don’t yet seem to have a web-site.
Applied under FP7 PSP (call finished Jul 31), we'll see if it gets funding.
Found about it from the CIDOC conference that's just over: http://www.brukenthalmuseum.eu/cidoc/uk/file/abstracts.pdf p.11
