Technical accessibility and reuse of selected European Heritage data portals
| Country | Portal(s) | Technical accessibility and programmatic access (C7) | Support for DH and computational research (C8) | FAIR alignment (synthesis) (C9) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | Kulturpool | Stable aggregation portal; limited APIs and bulk access | Limited DH support; reuse mainly via Europeana or providers | Partial FAIR alignment; reuse indirect |
| BE | Meemoo / KBR digital collections | Sustainable institutional platforms; APIs mainly in meemoo | Meemoo supports AV reuse for research; KBR enables text-based DH | Partial FAIR; stronger at institution level |
| CZ | Czech digital library | Stable national platform; OAI-PMH; limited APIs and bulk export | Strong text-mining potential | Partial FAIR; strong findability, limited reusability |
| DK | Royal Danish library / national museum | Institutional platforms; APIs at institutional level | Some computational reuse via institutions | Partial FAIR; reuse fragmented |

| FI | Finna.fi | Highly sustainable platform; well-documented APIs and bulk downloads | Strong DH support; datasets, bulk downloads and APIs | Strong FAIR alignment |
| FR | Gallica | National library infrastructure; rich APIs, IIIF, bulk text access | Extensive DH support; OCR corpora and datasets | Strong FAIR; high reuse readiness |
| DE | Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (DDB) | Stable national platform; APIs available; reuse varies by provider | Some DH reuse via APIs and projects | Partial FAIR; reuse uneven |
| IE | Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) | Trusted repository; APIs and dataset-level export | Strong computational reuse; dataset-oriented | Strong FAIR alignment |
| IT | CulturaItalia | Aggregation platform; limited APIs; reuse via providers | Limited DH support; reuse via Europeana | Partial FAIR; metadata-focused |
| NO and SE | DigitaltMuseum | Sustainable sector platform; robust REST APIs | Strong reuse via APIs; DH and ML contexts | Moderate FAIR; good accessibility |
| PL | Federacja Bibliotek Cyfrowych (FBC) | Federated but stable library infrastructure; OAI-PMH; limited modern APIs | Strong text-mining potential; limited bulk access | Partial FAIR |
| SI | Digital Library of Slovenia | National library platform; OAI-PMH; limited APIs | Strong text-mining support | Moderate FAIR; strong for text |
| ES | HispanaPRO | Aggregation infrastructure; limited APIs; reuse via Europeana | DH reuse indirect | Partial FAIR; metadata-centric |
| SE | SOCH – Swedish Open Cultural Heritage | API-first infrastructure; robust, well-documented APIs | Limited computational reuse for DH; ML-ready metadata | Strong FAIR (metadata-centric) |
| UK | Museum Data Service (MDS) | Service-oriented infrastructure; APIs available | Supports computational research for museums | Moderate FAIR |
| EU | Europeana | EU-level infrastructure; mature APIs and bulk datasets | Extensive DH support; datasets and Europeana Labs | Strong FAIR at metadata level |
