A research prototype of a semantic search engine for Europeana. As this is work in progress, multilingual support is still limited. The prototype's interface is currently only available in English, French and Dutch. The search engine contains data of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, and the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (Netherlands Institute for Art History). in The Hague. These data are for demonstration purposes only; some data might be outdated and there is no claim of completeness..
