Abstract
This paper presents a new metadata aggregation approach based on a mediating repository that intends to ensure the integrity, authenticity and semantic enrichment of metadata provided to Europeana by heterogeneous collections. Primary metadata are mapped to CARARE schema, a schema suitable for describing archaeological and architectural heritage assets, digital resources, collections, as well as events associated with them. The paper specifies the proposed schema and discusses the overall architecture of the proposed approach.
