Several projects of the Europeana group are already using specific aggregation models appropriate for the material they are aggregating. • ATHENA, according to its best practice report on metadata models for museum objects, contributed to the development of LIDO – Lightweight Informations Describing Objects • The LIDO model is subsequently used by a number of projects of the Europeana group: • ATHENA • MIMO – Musical Instruments Museums Online • JudaicaEuropeana – Jewish cultural contribution to Europe • Linked Heritage
The LIDO model - Background -
LIDO Background Zoological Museums Archaeological Museums BotanicalGardens Computer Collections Geological andMineralogical Museums… Medical and Pharmaceutical CollectionsMuseums of Cultural History Museums of Fire Fighting Theatre History Collections Art Museums …
LIDO Background Why a standardformatforcontributingcontent? • It’s all about • creating a consistent information base • making your information understandable outside of your collection database / your home context! • Need for convenient instruments to provide cultural heritage information • from different collections / object classes • from different data structures • from different software systems
LIDO Background Lightweight Information Describing Objects Is the result of a collaborative effort of international stakeholders in the museum sector to create a common solution for contributing cultural heritage content to web applications. Provides an explicit format to deliver (museum’s) object information in a standardized way.

LIDO Background Reference: CIDOC-CRM / ISO 21127 • CIDOC-CRM / ISO 21127 in less than a nutshell… • Developed within CIDOC, the Documentation Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) • Is a formal domain ontology for cultural heritage information: • Describes the things that the cultural heritage sector deals with and how these things relate to each other • Expressed as an “object-oriented” schema

FRBR/CIDOC CRM-Harmonisierung Excursion Museum and library conceptualisation The combined model CRM – FRBROO: • Is a coherent model of museum and library conceptualization • On one side enriches the CIDOC CRM with notions of the stages of intellections creation and refines its model of identifiers and the associated discourse. • On the other side, it makes available to FRBR the general model of historical events of the CRM. • clarifies and makes explicit many notions more vaguely specified in FRBR CRM: Lacks: a model of intellectual work FRBR: Lacks: any explicit notion of the processes behind
The LIDO model - Schema Design -
LIDO Schema Design Whatitis • XML Schema for Contributing Content to Cultural Heritage Repositories • For delivering metadata, for use in a variety of online services, from an organization’s online collections database to portals of aggregated resources – as well as exposing, sharing and connecting data on the web. • Intended to represent the full range of descriptive information about museum objects, e.g. art, cultural, technology and natural science. • It supports multilingual environments.
LIDO Schema Design Whatitis NOT • LIDO is NOT • A fully developed data exchange format. • A format designed for proper cataloging – it is not intended to be used as a basis for a collection management system or to support loan and acquisition activities.

LIDO as aggregation model in Linked Heritage
LIDO as aggregation model in Linked Heritage Linked Heritage includes content providers not only from the museum sector, but also from the library, archive, and publisher sector. Experiences from the ATHENA project proved that LIDO copes as well with library data for the purpose of aggregation. Mappings are already carried out successfully for several variants of the MARC format. Deeper analysis for archive’s and publisher’s material is currently underway.
