Are these GLAMs also putting cultural heritage data into Europeana? You can already filter by country (that holds the work) in Europeana.There are 6 million objects from the Netherlands. Your energy might be better spent either harvesting Dutch material back out of Europeana into a separate Netherland-only interface or by focusing on integrating smaller institutions into Europeana via OAI-PMH.
In fact, your own material are in Europeana: http://www.europeana.eu/portal/search?f%5BCOUNTRY%5D%5B%5D=netherlands&f%5BTYPE%5D%5B%5D=SOUND&q= Ethan On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Johan Oomen <joo...@beeldengeluid.nl> wrote: > Good afternoon, > > In the Netherlands, we’re working on overhauling our current (OAI-PMH) > aggregation infrastructure towards a more distributed model.
