Europeana duomenų modelis (Europeana Data Model – EDM) – tai naujas požiūris į duomenų, kuriuos Europea­na teikia įvairios kultūros paveldo institucijos, struktūravimą ir pateikimą. Šiuo modeliu siekiama didesnės raiškos ir lankstumo, palyginti su dabar taikomu Europeana Semantic Elements (ESE), kurį jis turėtų pakeisti. Esminiai EDM projektiniai principai grindžiami pagrindiniais semantinio saityno ir susietų duomenų iniciatyvų, kurias Europeana sie­kia praturtinti, principais ir gerąja praktika. Paties modelio pagrindą sudaro galiojantys standartai, tokie kaip RDF(S), OAI-ORE, SKOS ir Dublin Core. Jis veikia kaip bendra aukščiausio lygmens ontologija, išlaikanti originalius duomenų modelius ir informacijos perspektyvą, tačiau kartu suteikianti ir sąveikumo galimybę. Straipsnyje išsamiai nagrinėjami minėti aspektai ir projektiniai principai, skatinę EDM plėtrą.

To the general public, Europeana is primarily perceived as a portal exposing a great amount of cultural heritage information. Even though this perception is not entirely misleading, the main goal of Europeana is rather to build an open services platform enabling users and cultural institutions to access and manage a large collection of surrogate objects representing digital and digitized content via an application program interface (API). The paper covers some details of the overall data space schema, of the API description and of the Europeana Portal implementation; it also discusses use cases and the mental approach that users, in particular cultural institutions, should adopt to completely exploit the potential of the Europeana services platform together with a discussion of related risks. The authors represent key players in the Europeana specification, development and implementation process currently under way.

SUMMARY. The paper sets out from a few basic observations (bibliographic information is still mostly part of the 'hidden Web,' library automation methods still have a low WWW-transparency, and take-up of FRBR has been rather slow) and continues taking a closer look at Semantic Web technology components. This results in a proposal for implementing FRBR as RDF-Schema and of RDF-based library catalogues built on such an approach. The contribution concludes with a discussion of selected strategic benefits resulting from such an approach.

The contribution starts from outlining the evolution of the scholarly production flow from the print based paradigm to the digital age and in this context it explores the opposition of digital versus analog representation modes. It then develops on the triple paradigm shift caused by genuine digital publishing and its specific consequences for the social sciences and humanities (SSH) which in turn results in re-constituting basic scholarly notions such as 'text' and 'document'. The paper concludes with discussing the specific value that could be added in systematically using digital text resources as a basis for scholarly work and also states some of the necessary conditions for such a 'digital turn' to be successful in the SSH.Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag beginnt mit einem Ü berblick zur Evolution des wissenschaftlichen Informationskontinuums auf dem Weg vom druckbasierten Paradigma in das digitale Zeitalter und geht in diesem Zusammenhang näher auf die Unterscheidung 'digitaler' und 'analoger' Repräsentationsmodi ein. Anschließend behandeln wir den als Folge des Ü bergangs zu genuin digitalen Publikationsformen erwartbaren dreifachen Paradigmenwechsel und dessen spezifische Konsequenzen für die Geistes-und Sozialwissenschaften sowie als deren Folge wiederum die Re-Konstitution elementarer Kernbegriffe geisteswissenschaftlichen Arbeitens wie 'Text' und 'Dokument'. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Betrachtung des spezifischen Mehrwerts, der sich aus dem systematischen Rekurs auf digitale Textressourcen in den Geisteswissenschaften ergeben könnte und geht dabei auch auf die erforderlichen Vorbedingungen eines solcherart erfolgreichen 'digital turn' in den Geistes-und Sozialwissenschaften ein.

Meaning cannot be counted, even as it can be counted upon, so meaning has become marginalized in an informational culture, even though this implies that a judgmentthat is, an assignment of meaning-has been laid upon it. Meaning lives in the same modern jail which houses the soul, the self, the ego, that entire range of things which assert their existence continually but unreasonably. (Pesce, 1999) elements: a subject, a predicate, and an object, commonly known as a "triple." 4 An example of such a triple statement would be:
