Things to know before starting
- Europeana data is represented as a triple:
Each subject, predicate and an object represent a node within Europeana’s network of resources. These statements are usually represented as URIs to which certain labels might correspond.
For instance
"Moltzheim, A. de" . - A SPARQL query requires the declaration of PREFIXes that are shortcuts to the labels of given predicates.
- The different packages of information contained in the Europeana data are described using several classes in the Europeana Data Model (EDM). We invite you to consult our Data structure page and the EDM documentation if you need more details on the model.
- When formulating a query don’t forget to adjust the LIMIT value which indicates the number of results to be returned by the query. Note that the query may take longer if the number of results asked is high.
- If you set a LIMIT value but still want to be able to select the range of results you will get within the dataset, adjust the OFFSET value.
