Platform

Interoperability

Standards alignment so cultural knowledge remains portable and federated rather than locked in.

The data model is designed for compatibility with the standards cultural institutions already use, and contributors never need to know them: friendly forms in, standards-conformant records out.

What this covers

  • CIDOC CRM, LIDO, and the Europeana Data Model for cultural records
  • Dublin Core, Schema.org, SKOS, RDF, and JSON-LD for the web of data
  • IIIF for images, GeoJSON for places, DCAT for catalogues
  • ODRL and Creative Commons for rights, W3C PROV for provenance
  • Web Annotation for community layers

Help us shape this platform

We're looking for municipalities, museums, communities, and creators who want to put these ideas to work. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
