  The recovery and resilience of the cultural and creative sectors after the
COVID-19 pandemic is a current topic with priority for the European Commission.
Cultural gems is a crowdsourced web platform managed by the Joint Research
Centre of the European Commission aimed at creating community-led maps as well
as a common repository for cultural and creative places across European cities
and towns. More than 130,000 physical locations and online cultural activities
in more than 300 European cities and towns are currently tracked by the
application. The main objective of Cultural gems consists in raising a holistic
vision of European culture, reinforcing a sense of belonging to a common
European cultural space. This data article describes the ontology developed for
Cultural gems, adopted to represent the domain of knowledge of the application
by means of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles and
following the paradigms of Linked Open Data (LOD). We provide an overview of
this dataset, and describe the ontology model, along with the services used to
access and consume the data.
