europeana-crawler is a simple proof of concept script for extracting 
rdfa metadata from record pages using the sitemap they make available
for search engine crawlers. The triples for each resource are persisted
as a file to the filesystem using a pairtree to evenly distribute the
files across subdirectories.

To run the crawler you'll need to install a few dependencies. You might
want to do this with a virtualenv, or globally on your system. The 
instructions here are for using a virtualenv:

1. virtualenv --no-site-packages ENV
2. source ENV/bin/activate
3. pip install -r requirements.pip
4. ./crawl.py
5. tail -f crawl.log
6. ./aggregate.py > europeana.nt
