Mapping between different data models in a data aggregation context always
presents significant interoperability challenges. In this paper, we describe
the challenges faced and solutions developed when mapping the CARARE schema
designed for archaeological and architectural monuments and sites to the
Europeana Data Model (EDM), a model based on Linked Data principles, for the
purpose of integrating more than two million metadata records from national
monument collections and databases across Europe into the Europeana digital
library.Comment: The final version of this paper is openly published in the
