Survey results on alternative aggregation mechanisms (anonymised version)

Anonymised version of the survey results on alternative aggregation mechanisms. The online survey was conducted through Google Forms and was available from April 20 to May 8, 2020 as part of a master’s thesis in Information Science.

The main objective of this survey was to gauge the awareness, interest, and use of technologies other than OAI-PMH for (meta)data aggregation. The main target audiences of the survey were the data providers and the aggregators of the Europeana network, albeit it should be noted that it was also open to other organisations and individuals working in the cultural heritage field. Another goal of the survey was to identify possible pilot experiments that Europeana could conduct with interested organisations.
