Difficulties encountered and remedial actionsDifficulties encountered Remedial actionsMultiple images/ one record issue Will be solved with new Europeana data

model;temporary solution: records are multiplied in the Natural History Aggregator with extension of ID

HIT Tool – compliance with OpenUp! standard EFG

HIT customized for concept MineralName;issue solved

Europeana portal – preview linked to ProductURI and not FileURL MfN, no light box preview

Issue reported to Europeana team, provider mapping is correct

Europeana portal – no previews for ETI content

Issue reported to Europeana team, provider allows access for thumbnail creation
