Curating User Galleries in Europeana using Topic Modeling Technology

Europeana is the European Commission's platform for cultural heritage aggregating digitized materials from all over the Europe. The Transcribathon tool uses documents from Europeana and enables users to contribute with transcriptions and semantic enrichments. User engagement is stimulated by curating materials of interest for the targeted audience of specific Transcribathon runs. An approach for curating historical materials from Europeana with the use of topic detection technology is showcased in this paper.
