The Europeana Initiative has been conducting activities around enrichment for several years, often developed in partnership with other organisations through Generic Services projects, and will continue to do so in the future in projects and activities supporting the common European data space for cultural heritage (hereinafter the ‘data space’).

This policy supports the conception and development of purposeful enrichment efforts that contribute to the objectives of the data space. To achieve this purpose, this policy establishes a vision and a set of principles that guide enrichment efforts in a consistent way across projects, organisations and activities in the ecosystem in and around the data space.

This policy has been developed collaboratively by consulting and bringing in the views, priorities and concerns of stakeholders, namely data partners, technical partners, the Europeana Foundation, users of the data space, the European Commission, European Union member states. These stakeholders have participated in the definition of this policy through a general stakeholder consultation, followed by targeted consultation through the Data Governance Stakeholder Working Group.
