GENERAL SCOPES: 
  • defining the semantic framework for the annotation of Europeana content that can be considered as related to Chinese cultural heritage
  • defining specifications and technical requirements for the creation and enrichment of the associated metadata
  • high quality digitization of minimum 10,000 new objects as particularly relevant for the representation of Chinese CH in Europe.

  • what can be considered as Chinese CH in Europe
    • Chinese vs. made in China: (dis)connection between materiality and cultural connotations
    • Europeans in China + Chinese in Europe
  • typology of “objects”: tangible, intangible, natural (esp. landscapes)
