Europeana Labs Beta Site launched

Europeana, the online portal to Europe’s digital cultural heritage, has just launched the Europeana Labs Beta Site, labs.europeana.eu. Through this site, Europeana provides access to their data (over 30 million metadata records linking to millions of openly licensed media objects) and all the information you need to get started with the Europeana APIs, which allow you to search and retrieve this data for use in your own applications. The site also gives inspiring examples of applications that have been created by using these resources, as well as news on future events and hackathons around this dataset.

This beta version of the site was created based on the feedback that was received during consultation with the developer community – the full version of Europeana Labs is planned for late June.
