Descrição
Resumo:: In order to represent relationships and entities in an abstract way, data models are highlighted as best practices in the processes of analysis and representation of information, specifically in the planning and development of interoperable and persistent systems. In this sense, a study is presented on the Europeana Data Model (EDM), a data model developed by the Europeana platform based on semantic technologies and the principles of Linked Open Data. Through a qualitative, exploratory, bibliographic and documentary research, it is discussed how a data model, such as EDM, allows the needs of informational representation of cultural heritage data collections to be met in the Web environment. The aim of the study was to analyze the structure and representation proposed by Europeana for collections of cultural heritage. As a result, data modeling stands out, which is the process by which EDM guide its operation, enabling information needs to be contemplated. Finally, we conclude that the importance of data models, such as EDM, lies in the possibility of understanding the semantic context to which a set of cultural heritage data belongs, guaranteeing the persistence of its concepts and relationships in the environments informational.
