NPU: Metainformation System - MIS
• National Heritage Institute provided to Europeana 6806 items
• we had about 100 000 public documents then• why so few items were provided ? – missing descriptions of heritage assets (they were in
many local databases) – many documents were connected to parts of sites and
to unprotected buildings and also don´t have requested fields in the old database MonumIS
CARARE project
• during the LoCloud project our CARARE dataset was updated to about 125 000 items
using a trick: photographs and other documents are considered to be heritage assets, so the originally
missing descriptions and other fields don´t matter
• provided a new dataset – VAL - Significant archeological sites
- about 6 000 items
