The Twin it! Cafés (online) aim to provide hands-on support to Twin it! national contact points, Europeana National Aggregators as well as domain aggregators and other colleagues involved in the Twin it! campaign. The Cafés will provide a dedicated platform to ask questions, share doubts, concerns, and find practical and immediate solutions and answers to queries in relation to Phase 2 of the Twin it! campaign, which foresees the 3D modelling, metadata and paradata creation and publication of 3D material in Europeana, running until 1 February 2024.

The ultimate goal of the Twin it! Cafés is to support capacity-building in 3D publication, and empower participants to fully and timely contribute to Twin it!. The Cafés are upon invitation only.

This Café will focus on recommendations for 3D material ingestion, based on the guidelines developed in the framework of the Twin it! campaign.

Some of the topics that will be discussed are:

• Use of Europeana Data Model (EDM) for 3D models
  
• Europeana Publishing guide for 3D content
  
• Recommendations on data quality

This Café will be delivered by the Europeana Foundation, with contributions from:

• Valentine Charles, Data Services Director
  
• Henning Scholz, Partner & Operations Manager
