Dear list members,
DGXIII/E-4, Libraries Sector, is organising during the IST98 conference
a workshop on 'Accessing culture: the new digital ecology' on 2 December
1998 in Vienna. (http://www.cordis.lu/ist98/culture.htm)
Rationale
Europe's acquired cultural wealth is held in and accessed through the
key cultural institutions - libraries, museums and archives. It is a
rich resource for citizens, for scholarship, and for the creation of new
content. Digital libraries and their technologies create new
opportunities and challenges to unlock and add value to a previously
hidden resource.
Objective
The workshop will focus on the enabling technologies for providing and
managing digital content, on infrastructures for developing new forms of
access for the citizen, and on the alliances needed to exploit these
resources fully and creatively.
Overall goal
To encourage partnerships, between cultural organisations, and with
industrial and private sector actors.
