europeanaR

Interact with the Europeana Data Model via a variety of API endpoints that contains digital collections from thousands of institutions around Europe. This translates to millions of Cultural Heritage Objects in the form of image, text, video, sound and 3D, accompanied by rich metadata. The Data Model design principles are based on the core principles and best practices of the Semantic Web and Linked Data efforts to which Europeana contributes (see, e.g., Doerr, Martin, et al. The europeana data model (edm). World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA general conference and assembly. Vol. 10. 2010.). The package also provides methods for bulk downloads of specific subsets of items, including both their metadata and their associated media files.
