The paper describes a set of software tools and methodologies followed by
the Hellenic Aggregator and Greek cultural, educational and scientific institutions in
order to contribute their content to Europeana. The software tools are presented and
their impact on the publishing, aggregation and dissemination process of Greek
content to Europeana is described. The work of the Hellenic Aggregator, the
methodologies developed and the new software tools, which were created improved
the publishing process of Greek institutions and promoted their content to Europeana.
During this process, difficult technical challenges were overcome and a clear path has
been created for Greek content providers who would like to publish their content to
Europeana. The present study outlines the work on supporting Europeana Semantic
Elements (ESE) metadata publication. New metadata models such as the Europeana
Data Model (EDM) are under development and future work should be committed to
supporting them as well. The work presented in this publication is unique in covering
Greek digital content providers, which publish their content to Europeana. Without
the software and methodologies presented, harvesting Greek digital content from
Europeana would not be possible.
