How can authority data\, vocabularies and metadata practices be aligned across institutions while respecting institutional autonomy? How can we improve the interoperability\, quality and reuse of heritage data and digitised collections? How can a shared linked open data platform such as Wikibase be maintained? \nOver the last three years\, four Federal Scientific (heritage) Institutions have worked together within the MetaBelgica project to develop a shared semantic infrastructure that brings together individuals and organisations linked to Belgian heritage collections. \nOn 18 November 2026\, the Royal Library of Belgium\, the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage\, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium and the Royal Museums of Art and History are organising the international “Shared Heritage\, Shared Data” conference. During the conference\, the MetaBelgica partners and other European heritage institutions will share their experiences of managing authority data\, among others via Linked Data platforms. They will highlight the best practices and pitfalls encountered along the way. \nThe conference aims to strengthen cooperation with (inter)national partners and enable more coherent\, FAIR and semantically connected access to distributed collections\, supporting research and reuse by society. \n  \nInternational conference | 18 November 2026 | on-site at KBR or online\n\n \n Register now \n\n \n \n Discover the MetaBelgica Project \n\n \n  \nDISCOVER THE PROGRAMME\n9:00  Registration  \n9:30 Welcoming words  \n9:40 MetaBelgica\, Welcome from project team and introduction of the day  \n9:45  Keynote: Antoine Isaac (Europeana)\, Building infrastructures to share cultural heritage data – why metadata still matters and how we can make it work \n  \n10:30  Break  \n  \n11:00 Sven Lieber (Royal Library of Belgium | KBR)\, MetaBelgica project results  \n11:40  Annerose Tartler-Ostrizek (Federal Open Science Cloud | FedOSC)\, Connecting the Dots: advancing metadata and interoperability with FedOSC \n  \n12:00 Lunch break \n  \n13:00  Barbara Fischer (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek | DNB)\, Sharing authority – How the GND network strives to integrate further communities to enrich its authority files \n13:20  Enno Meijers (Dutch Digital Heritage Network | NDE )\, Building the network of connected heritage information \n13:40  Nastasia Vanderperren (meemoo | Flemish Institute for Archives)\, Visual Name Authority: A Collaborative Approach to Person Identification Management  \n14:00 Luc Wanlin (Archives et Musée de la Littérature | AML)\, SCAPIN – A Stage to Perform: Technical and Institutional Challenges for a Shared Performing Arts Platform in FWB \n14:20 Edurne Kugeler (Musée national d’archéologie\, d’histoire et d’art Luxembourg | MNAHA)\, \nLUDAP – The Luxembourg Authority File Project   \n14:40 Vincent Boulet (Bibliothèque nationale de France | BnF)\, From Authority Data to Entities: Challenges in Implementing the “Bibliographic Transition” in France. \n  \n15:00  Break  \n  \n15:30 Panel discussion with previous speakers  \n16:30 Closing remarks  \n16:40  End  \n17:00  Library closes  \n  \n\n \n Register now \n\n \n  \nThe conference provides a forum to: \n\ncollaborate across heritage institutions and domains\nshare best practices and insights while curating cultural heritage entities\ndiscuss strategic developments and the future of (authority) data management\nstrengthen professional networks and international cooperation\n\nBy hosting this event\, the participating FSIs reaffirm their commitment to international collaboration\, high-quality and interoperable metadata\, and the continued development of expertise in the field of linked data and international standards. \nThis event is taking place during the week of the DARIAH-EU General Assembly in Brussels and thus there will be an opportunity to follow parallel meetings to learn more about DH projects in Belgium\, EOSC & FEDOSC\, and AI in the heritage sector from 18 – 20 November. \n  \n  \nAbstracts and bio\n\n Sven Lieber | MetaBelgica project results\n Bio \nSven Lieber works as data manager at The Royal Library of Belgium (KBR)\, where he supports the improvement of data quality\, mainly by using computational methods and Linked Data. Sven is currently involved in the research infrastructure project MetaBelgica and was involved in the research project BELTRANS. For both projects\, Sven helped to make data available according to the FAIR principles. He studied Computer Science at the University of Freiburg in Germany and pursued a PhD related to Knowledge Graphs at the University of Ghent in Belgium\, where he was also involved in several interdisciplinary research projects at the IDLab research group \n  \nAbstract \nFederal Scientific Institutes (FSIs) such as the Royal Library of Belgium inventorise\, publish and query their collections in a database or online catalogue with the help of entities\, such as names or places. This kind of data is important for various reasons\, but every FSI is creating and maintaining their own entities in their own systems using different programs and data standards. This is a problem as it results in duplicate efforts and data quality problems. Additionally\, this complicates efficient data exchange in a national or international setting due to different standards and tools. \nIn this presentation\, the partners of the MetaBelgica consortium introduce themselves and present both the current situation and solutions applied in the project. Concretely the presentation will focus on the data integration of more than 1 million entities\, the setup of a Wikibase infrastructure and establishment of a shared data governance. \n\n \n Annerose Tartler-Ostrizek | Connecting the Dots: advancing metadata and interoperability with FedOSC\n Bio \nAnnerose Tartler-Ostrizek is Data Steward for the Arts and Humanities Cluster of the Federal Open Science Cloud Belgium (FedOSC)\, where she works with federal scientific institutions to gain insight into their data management practices\, provide training and guidance in research data management\, and contribute to community building around Open Science knowledge\, tools and services. She has a background in digital humanities and historical musicology\, with a focus on cultural transfer and collection studies\, and previously worked as a Data Librarian at the Austrian National Library. \n  \nAbstract \nAcross the GLAM (galleries\, libraries\, archives and museums) Federal Scientific Institutions (FSIs)\, metadata are used to describe and preserve collections\, while enabling discovery\, interpretation\, and reuse. Yet metadata practices often remain fragmented across standards\, vocabularies\, repositories\, and institutional workflows. As research is increasingly relying on cross-disciplinary approaches\, digital humanities methods and AI-driven analyses\, these silos become major barriers to the reuse of heritage (meta)data. \nThis presentation aims to explore how the Belgian Federal Open Science Cloud (FedOSC) project addresses these challenges by advancing metadata interoperability within the FSIs. FedOSC promotes Open Science and FAIR data practices\, by developing the infrastructures\, policies\, services and skills needed to support (meta)data exchange and reuse. \nAs FedOSC nears completion\, now is the time to share FedOSC’s three-pillars interoperability strategy: technical interoperability (PIDs\, metadata catalogue\, repository development\, and FAIR assessment activities)\, semantic interoperability (metadata standards\, DCAT-AO alignment\, and cross-domain collaborations)\, and organisational interoperability (governance\, policy development\, training and community building). \nThrough ongoing engagement with FSIs\, FedOSC maps datasets\, metadata practices\, and FAIR maturity\, identifying opportunities for a more aligned metadata ecosystem. \nBy reflecting on lessons learned from the GLAM community\, this presentation argues that interoperability does not require uniformity but rather depends on creating the conditions that allows diverse metadata communities to connect while preserving the richness and specificity of the FSIs collections. \n\n \n Barbara Fischer | Sharing authority – How the GND network strives to integrate further communities to enrich its authority files\n Bio \nOriginally trained as a historian\, Barbara Fischer is now an art manager committed to connecting people and institutions to strengthen the impact of arts\, culture\, and heritage. Since 2018\, she has worked at the Agency for Standardization (AfS) at the German National Library\, where she leads communication and cooperation around the Integrated Authority File (GND). Her work focuses on fostering collaboration and openness in digital transformation\, improving metadata quality through FAIR data and Authority Control\, and advancing information retrieval and linked open data. \n  \nAbstract \nThe Integrated Authority File (GND) comprises authority data on persons\, corporate bodies\, geographic entities\, subject terms\, works\, and conferences. It is collaboratively created and maintained by more than 1\,000 institutions across the German-speaking region. Authority data enable the reliable identification of entities and\, for example\, ensure the disambiguation of entities with identical names. As a controlled vocabulary\, the GND provides extensive opportunities for linking diverse information resources\, making it particularly relevant to archives\, museums\, cultural and research institutions\, research projects\, and public administrations. The GND currently contains ten million records. \nThis presentation examines the concrete services and approaches through which the GND Cooperative supports the integration of diverse communities from research\, culture\, and public administration into the GND network. Integrating these sectors also enables their knowledge and expertise to become part of the GND. The presentation briefly introduces approaches at four levels: communication\, governance\, standards and rules development\, and technology. By integrating these perspectives\, the GND becomes richer and more diverse\, evolving across sectors into a widely used tool for knowledge graph construction in the context of digital transformation and the Semantic Web. Its growing significance also enhances its potential in generative AI applications\, particularly for ensuring accurate and domain-specific responses. This\, in turn\, highlights the systemic importance of reliable knowledge organization for safeguarding an open and democratic knowledge society. \n\n \n Enno Meijers | Building the network of connected heritage information\n Bio \nEnno Meijes is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed (NDE) programme and advisor at the research department at the KB\, national library of the Netherlands. In the NDE-program he is responsible for the development of the digital infrastructure for the discovery of digital heritage information within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Interoperability standards and distributed web technologies are core elements for this work. He has a background in Electrical Engineering and Business Informatics and has been working on infrastructures for the cultural heritage and library domain for the past twenty five years. \n  \nAbstract \nIn 2015 the cultural heritage sector in the Netherlands together with the Ministry of Education\, Culture and Science formulated the National Digital Heritage Strategy with the goal to increase the social value of cultral heritage information by making their collections more visible\, usable and sustainable. The Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed (NDE) programme was installed for realizing the goals of the National Strategy. The core of the NDE-programme is about standardization and interoperability. Guided by an overarching architecture model (DERA)\, the NDE programme works on creating a decentralized network infrastructure for the exchange and reuse of digital heritage information. In the past ten years NDE has been working with vendors of collection information systems to create support for working with persistent identifiers\, publishing linked data\, the use controlled vocabularies and the support of IIIF APIs. Technology is only one part of the challenge for creating an networked ecosystem for sharing and using digital heritage information. Provincial heritage organisations and larger institutions play an important role for supporting the implementation process. As a part of this process digital heritage coaches and data cleaners are employed\, data workshops installed and best practices and tutorials are developed to guide cultural heritage professionals and voluntary groups to work with digital heritage. \nIn my presentation I will give a brief overview of the results and the lessons learned over the past ten years of working on standardizing technology\, content and processes within the digital heritage domain in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. \n\n \n Nastasia Vanderperren | Visual Name Authority: A Collaborative Approach to Person Identification Management\n Bio \nNastasia Vanderperren is an Expertise Officer at meemoo\, Flemish Institute for Archives. She advises GLAM institutions on cultural heritage processes\, with a focus on digital preservation\, IIIF\, and obsolete technologies. As part of the Visual Name Authority project\, she was closely involved in\, amongst other things\, the preparation and import of metadata and photographs\, the development\nof the minimum viable product\, and the testing and integration of it. \n  \nAbstract \nDescriptive metadata is essential for making digital cultural heritage discoverable\, yet manual identification of relevant people in photo\, video\, and film archives remains labour-intensive and costly. Existing international authorities like Wikidata and VIAF often lack regional coverage\, while local institutional lists remain trapped in silos. \nTo resolve this\, meemoo\, Flemish Institute for Archives\, and 24 partner organisations developed the Visual Name Authority (VNA)\, an overarching reference hub designed to unify person identification. VNA aggregates biographical data\, external links\, and facial reference crops extracted from partner collections. Built on open-source Wikibase software\, it helps facial recognition and automated metadata enrichment for OCR-processed publications through named entity linking. \nAddressing privacy and copyright sensitivities\, VNA operates within a strict legal and ethical framework. Sensitive metadata and facial sets are shared exclusively within a secure\npartner environment\, whereas public figure metadata is published as linked open data with persistent URIs. \nHaving concluded its third phase\, the project delivered a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) managed by meemoo for seamless integration into the upcoming Flemish Term Network.\nThis presentation outlines VNA’s collaborative methodology\, technical architecture\, and community governance. It shares practical lessons on balancing privacy with open data ambitions\, aligning conflicting datasets across independent institutions\, and building sustainable cooperative infrastructure for AI in the cultural heritage sector. \n\n \n Luc Wanlin | SCAPIN – A Stage to Perform: Technical and Institutional Challenges for a Shared Performing Arts Platform in FWB\n Bio \nHolding a Master’s degree in Ancient Languages and Literatures\, Luc Wanlin has been working for the Archives et Musée de la Littérature (AML) for thirty years. Over the past three decades\, he has specialized in the design and technical development of custom IT tools\, databases\, and digital solutions specifically tailored to user needs and cultural heritage management. His work bridges humanities and technology\, transforming complex domain requirements into user-centered digital applications — such as the Scapin performing arts database and a TEI-based manuscript digital publishing pipeline — to process\, document\, and share literary and performing arts collections. \n  \nAbstract \nLaunched in 2018 at the heart of Belgium’s federal landscape by the AML\, SCAPIN was specifically developed for the French-Speaking Community (Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles – FWB) as a shared performing arts platform to overcome major administrative and domain-based divides caused by decentralized cultural policies and the lack of a standardized sector data model. Operating in this complex ecosystem\, the platform bridges the gap between institutions whose data collection mandates are often restricted to specific artistic genres or territories\, resulting in highly heterogeneous formats\, varying granularities\, and unnecessary data redundancy. \nTo achieve seamless integration across the FWB’s cultural ecosystem and beyond\, SCAPIN combines an institutional strategy based on cross-sector networking and support with a dedicated technical architecture. At its core\, SCAPIN addresses the absence of standard domain ontologies by relying on custom-designed APIs and flexible\, interoperable data models. These tools enable smooth data exchange and semantic interlinking among all participating partners\, establishing a unified data framework for the performing arts. \nToday\, this ecosystem faces an emerging digital challenge: the rise of “zero-click” search\, where AI-driven overviews answer user queries directly on search engines. While this trend reduces direct website traffic\, Scapin’s structured APIs and interoperable architecture ensure that performing arts memory fulfills its core preservation mission. By serving as an authoritative\, machine-readable repository\, Scapin guarantees that performing arts data remains accurately represented while securing its long-term\, sustainable accessibility across evolving digital landscapes. \n\n \n Edurne Kugeler | LUDAP – The Luxembourg Authority File Project\n Bio \nEdurne Kugeler grew up in Luxembourg and studied Comparative Literature and Global\nHistory at the University of Vienna. In 2019 she joined the Digitization\, Archive and Library\nDepartment at the National Museum in Luxembourg which she leads since September 2023. \n  \nAbstract \nWhen the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture’s launched its initiative to advance digitization\nwithin the Cultural Heritage Institutions under its auspices\, a competency network was\nestablished to identify collective challenges and solutions. A primary focus emerged: the\nneed for shared authority data to enhance interoperability and validation. In response\, the\nLUDAP was developed collaboratively by network members\, leveraging semantic web\ntechnologies (e.g.\, RDF) and conceptual models (e.g.\, CIDOC-CRM) to ensure data validity\nand shareability. Beyond its technical function\, LUDAP serves as a laboratory for institutional capacity-building\, fostering familiarity with emerging standards while cultivating a cross-\ninstitutional community of digitization specialists. This paper presents the LUDAP’s dual role as both a technical infrastructure and a catalytic space for professional exchange\, highlighting its broader impact on collaborative practices in cultural heritage digitization. \n\n \n Vincent Boulet | The French national program of “Bibliographic transition” : lessons and outcomes for authority data.\n Bio \nVincent Boulet is chief curator of libraries at the National Library of France. Within the Metadata Department\, he heads the Authority Data Service\, responsible for the administration and quality control of authority data\, and for implementing new working procedures following the launch of the BnF’s new cataloguing system. He participates in the national group responsible for drafting and maintaining RDA-FR. He chaired the IFLA Cataloguing Section (2019-2023) and was a member of the IFLA Committee on Standards. He is a member of the board of directors of the international ISNI agency. He holds a PhD in history. \n  \nAbstract \nThe French national “Bibliographic Transition” programme concluded in December 2025. As part of the implementation of the French adaptation of RDA\, known as RDA-FR\, the National Library of France (BnF) introduced a new cataloguing tool\, NOEMI\, which went live on 1 June 2026. The tool is based on a completely redesigned MARC format\, Intermarc Nouvelle Génération (“Next Gen Intermarc”). Under this new approach\, traditional bibliographic and authority records are replaced by records representing entities defined by the IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM)\, extended to support the treatment of singletons\, concepts\, places and events. This presentation will examine the key challenges involved in implementing this change of model\, as well as the solutions already developed and those currently under development. It will address the following topics:\n– Adapting the international model: The principles underlying the implementation of the international model and its extension to meet the specific missions and requirements of a national library.\n– Developing a new cataloguing format: The design of “Next Gen Intermarc” and the rationale for retaining a sovereign MARC format.\n– Transforming professional practices: The impact of new authority frameworks for works\, expressions\, concepts\, places and events on workflows and professional practices.\n– Disseminating data for reuse: The challenges of making bibliographic data available to end users and facilitating its reuse. \n\n \n Antoine Isaac\n Bio \nAntoine Isaac works as R&D manager at the Europeana Foundation. He has been implementing Semantic Web and Linked Data technology for making (meta)data work better in digital cultural heritage. He has especially worked on interoperability of collections and their vocabularies\, and has recently begun to supporting meaningful AI uptake in the sector. \nHe collaborates with peers in a wide range of communities\, including W3C\, DCMI\, IIIF\, RightsStatements.org and Linked Art. For example\, he has served in W3C efforts on SKOS\, Library Linked Data\, Data on the Web Best Practices\, and currently co-chairs the Data Exchange Working Group. \n  \nAbstract \nNew European initiatives have been recently launched in order to facilitate the sharing and consumption of data from libraries\, archives and museums across a broad range of audiences and applications: (Digital Humanities) research\, creative industries\, tourism\, etc. This talk will report on the efforts within the common European data space for cultural heritage and the European Collaborative Cultural Heritage Cloud. \nI will focus on the critical role that metadata plays in both infrastructures and their specialized sister-projects. Indeed\, metadata is still needed to operate across the variety of data sources and usages we have to face. The perspectives opened by the development of Artificial Intelligence make it even more important: trusted data with clear provenance is needed for building the models and services our sector aspires to. \nNew uses come with new requirements\, however. We will present some of the ongoing work for meeting them\, especially the efforts on gathering dataset-level metadata. Our talk will highlight how the Linked Data vision influences the design of our metadata infrastructures. We will also present how the various building blocks we need are being developed on top of the artefacts the Linked Data community already provides – ontologies and other controlled vocabularies – optimizing interoperability between metadata pipelines. \n\n \n  \n  \nPractical information\n\nThis will be a hybrid event\nRegistration is free\, but mandatory\nEnglish will be the language of the conference\nContacts for further information: metabelgica@kbr.be\nThe Auditorium at KBR is accessible for people with reduced mobility\nRecommended hotels\n\n  \nOrganisers\n\nRoyal Library of Belgium (KBR)\nRoyal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA)\nRoyal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (KMSKB-MRBAB)\nRoyal Museums of Art and History (KMKG-MRAH)\n\n  \nFunding\nThis conference is part of the MetaBelgica-project financed by the INFRA-FED call of BELSPO. \n  \n  \n\n \n Register now URL:https://www.kbr.be/en/agenda/metabelgica-shared-heritage-shared-data/ LOCATION:Auditorium\, Mont des Arts 28\, Brussels\, 1000\, Belgium CATEGORIES:Conference ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.kbr.be/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/metabelgica-logo-text-and-color.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20261121T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20261121T163000 DTSTAMP:20261028T152615Z CREATED:20261028T152615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261028T152615Z UID:10002552-1795269600-1795278600@www.kbr.be SUMMARY:Self-guided workshop: writing with a quill & painting with pigments DESCRIPTION:At the end of the Middle Ages\, Brussels belonged to the dukes of Burgundy.

These rich and powerful rulers and cultured benefactors built up a treasure of inestimable value: the Librairie\, a unique collection of manuscripts.

Discover the pleasure of creating your own colours from powdered pigments and gum arabic\, then illuminate a coat of arms or a detail of a manuscript! \n  \nWriting with a quill\nTry your hand at calligraphy! Leave your phones\, games and tablets at home and become a copyist for a few hours. Quill in hand\, discover the art of tracing letters.
