Abstract: "In this talk we present ongoing work on exploiting Semantic Web techniques to support searching
and annotating large cross-institutional digital-heritage collections in he context of the Europeana effort. We discuss research issues w.r.t. metadata organization, semantics metadata enrichment as well as semantic search techniques of the resulting graph.
