Definition

The set of resources related to a single cultural heritage object that collectively represents that object in Europeana. Such set consists of: all descriptions about the object that Europeana collects from (possibly different) content providers, including thumbnails and other forms of abstractions, as well as of the description of the object Europeana builds.

Obligation & Occurrence

The relation between the cultural heritage objects represented in Europeana and the instances of the class edm:EuropeanaAggregation is one-to-one, in the data maintained by Europeana: every cultural heritage object is represented by an instance of edm:EuropeanaAggregation, and every instance of edm:EuropeanaAggregation represents a cultural heritage object.

Comment

This class is used in Europeana to gather in a single conceptual unit all the information about a cultural heritage object, necessary for all operations on these objects. An instance of EuropeanaAggregation is created at ingestion time for each different cultural heritage object recognized by Europeana. Such instance is associated to the cultural heritage object that it is about, by the property edm:aggregatedCHO
