Ontologies
• Semantic enrichment
• Multi-lingual labels
• Persones, places, periods, subjects
• GEMET, Dbpedia, GeoNames, etc.

• Weighing strengths and weaknesses
Commercial APIs the only realistic solution?

Localisation
• Crowdsourced translations
• The Europeana network
• TranslateWiki
• Solutions for translation of editorial text?
• TranslateWiki?
• Duolingo?
