Hi,
we are happy to announce the first Europeana Linked Open Data Pilot release:
http://data.europeana.eu
data.europeana.eu currently contains metadata on 3.5 million texts, images,
videos and sounds gathered by Europeana (http://www.europeana.eu). These
objects come from content 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 10 direct Europeana providers
encompassing around 300 cultural institutions from 17 countries. This gives us
an RDF dump containing approximately 185M triples.
Here is an example URI to get started with:

We appreciate your feedback for further enhancements. Please contact us [1] or
post to this list!
