Europeana: think culture

europena: think culture

More than 14.6 million items from over 1500 organizations.

Truly an embarrassment of riches for anyone writing a topic map about Europe, its history, literature, influence on other parts of the world, etc.

I have just begun to explore the site and its interfaces. Will report back from time to time.

You can create your own tags but creation of an account requires the following agreement:

I understand that My Europeana gives me the opportunity to create tags for any item I wish. I agree that I will not create any tags that could be considered libelous, harmful, threatening, unlawful, defamatory,infringing, abusive, inflammatory, harassing, pornographic, obscene, fraudulent, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable. By clicking this box I agree to abide by this agreement, and understand that if I don’t my membership of My Europeana will be terminated.

Just so you know.

Questions:

  1. Select ten (10) artifacts to be integrated with local resources, using a topic map. Create a topic map. (The artifacts can be occurrences but associations provide richer opportunities.)
  2. Select one of the projects on the Thought Lab page and review it.
  3. What would you suggest as an improvement to the project you selected in #2? (3-5 pages, citations)
