Europeana Linked Open Data

data.europeana.eu currently contains open metadata on 2.4 million texts, images, videos and sounds gathered by Europeana. These objects come from data providers who have reacted early and positively to Europeana's initiative of promoting more open data and new data exchange agreements. These collections come from 8 direct Europeana providers encompassing over 200 cultural institutions from 15 countries. They cover a great variety of heritage objects, such as this slovenian version of O Sole Mio from the National Library of Slovenia, or Neil Robson's memories of the herring business from the Tyne and Wear Archives & Museums.

Here is an example URI to get started with: http://data.europeana.eu/item/92037/25F9104787668C4B5148BE8E5AB8DBEF5BE5FE03

The project has been described in a paper presented at the Dublin Core 2011 conference.
