Europeana extractor

Europeana extractor

Europeana (Europeana website) is a collection of Europe's cultural and scientific history curated by the Europeana Foundation. Europeana provides the Europeana API which is a database of cultural content. The API can be searched and the result sets transformed into topic maps using the Europeana extractor. The extractor can be used to query the database with an API key which you can receive by registering here.

The Extractor can be used by starting it from the menu File > Extract > Media > Europeana extractor which starts the search window.

In the search window you can type in a query in the search field. If an API key has been inserted earlier it can be reset by clicking the Forget API key button.

The extractor prompts for your API key if none is found. Type in the key and click OK to search the database.

After the extraction has been completed the query URL used will be shown.

If the query successfully returned results they are automatically mapped into the topics. The fetched information can be browsed from the topics tab.
