DataSpace website for Europe’s cultural heritage launched

DataSpace, a website for Europe’s cultural heritage, has been launched with the aim of stimulating interest in Europe’s cultural heritage and promoting digital culture as a public good. The site provides access to high quality data, with an emphasis on 3D, and encourages users to re-use and find new value in it.

The data space offered by the service is based on the Europeana.eu platform, which provides access to more than 57 million digitised objects from cultural heritage institutions across Europe – from books, paintings, maps and manuscripts to audiovisual material. Users can discover and reuse this data in innovative ways. The Data Space will expand the existing data offering, increasing the number of 3D objects and new types of media objects.

Users are encouraged to use the service at https://www.dataspace-culturalheritage.eu
