SUMMARY:MetaBelgica: Shared Heritage\, Shared Data
DESCRIPTION:How can we collaborate across institutions and domains to curate heritage data? 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) \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  Axelle Vanmaele (meemoo)\, Visual Name Authority: a collaborative approach to person identification management \n14:00 Luc Wanlin (Archives et Musée de la Littérature | AML)\, SCAPIN : Technical and institutional challenges for a shared platform of performing arts memory 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)\, The French national program of “Bibliographic transition” : lessons and outcomes for authority data. \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  \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\, KBR reaffirms its 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  \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 Panorama 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
