Research direction

Start with the Europeana section linked from sources.md and trace the existing Europeana fetch entry point and query-counting flow. Define how rights-only counts and a first-run quarterly plan should cover 30 runs over 30 days, then verify that the resulting schedule avoids fetching the full dataset at once.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

✨ goal: improvement 💻 aspect: code 🔒 staff only 🚧 status: blocked 🟩 priority: low

Problem

The Europeana data set is too big to fetch all at once, or in its entirety.

  • data providers: 4206
  • rights: 64

Assuming approximately 1 second per query, the expected duration is approximately 75 hours.

Description

  1. Add counts for rights only (not including data providers)
  2. Write a query plan on first run per quarter to map out which queries to make over 30 runs (30 days)

Alternatives

Parallel queries (probably considered impolite, Timid Robot will ask)
