I've been applying the Europeana Data Model with some success to digital archives. Some work has already been done in this area: Casarosa, Vittore; Meghini, Carlo; Gardasevic, Stanislava. (2013). “Improving Online Access to Archival Data”. Digital Libraries & Archives, pp. 153-162. Hennicke, Steffen; Olensky Marlies; de Boer, Victor; Isaac Antoine; Wielemaker, Jan. (2011). “Conversion of EAD into EDM Linked Data”. In: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Semantic Digital Archives. <http://www-e.uni-magdeburg.de/predoiu/sda2011/sda2011_06.pdf>.
