• Measurable impact
• For digital collections the aim is a Europe-wide
  approach to depositing new digital content and to
  Web archiving, resulting in a stable distributed
  repository of Europes digital content and
  community memory within 5 to 10 years
• Reduce by 50 the cost of digitisation and
  modelling of cultural objects, monuments, sites,
  etc. within 5 years
• Improve the accessibility and preservation of
  significant cultural digital resources, leading
  to assured protection from loss in the timeframe
  5-10 years

13
Objective To develop advanced systems and
services that help improve access to Europes
knowledge and educational resources (including
cultural and scientific collections) and generate
new forms of cultural and learning
experiences. Improving accessibility,
visibility and recognition of the commercial
value of Europe's cultural and scientific
resources, by developing
14

• Advanced digital libraries services, providing
  high-bandwidth access to distributed and highly
  interactive repositories of European culture,
  history and science
• Focus on shared test-beds and increased
  cultural-research cooperation
• broadband objectives of eEurope 2005

15

• Environments for intelligent heritage and
  tourism, re-creating and visualising cultural and
  scientific objects and sites for enhancing user
  experience in cultural tourism
• Focus on enhancing user experience
• Addressing the common needs of Europes museums,
  monuments, sites, etc., and not a specific
  museum, monument, site, ....
• An effective network should demo

16

• Advanced tools, platforms and services in support
  of highly automated digitisation processes and
  workflows, digital restoration and preservation
  of film and video material, and digital memory
  management and exploitation
• Focus on structuring new research communities
  around preservation
• Substantially reduce the cost of digitisation
• Lower barriers for institutional investment in
  long-term digital preservation
• Provide an industrial platform for film and video
  restoration and preservation

Policies now exist is many Member States, and
internal coordination networks have been
established
Some best practice projects have been identified,
but more are needed that are useful for
small/local institutions
A EU-wide status report will be produced (early
2003) on digitisation policies and programmes
A EU-wide Quality Framework is needed for
cultural content
29
What is the cost and scale of the problem? How to
ensure that governments and institutions are
fully aware about the problem? What guidence is
needed? Focus on data creators Recognise the
skills deficit, and decide what new skills will
be needed Build a large-scale multidisciplinary
and multi-institutional collaboration Take
collective responsibility for long-term access
30
Organisational change, economic means and
possibly legal right
What about a system of certified digital archives?

• Need large-scale, sustainable, and significant
  initiatives
• Stimulate public support
• Explicit priority setting and selection criteria
• Must treat sociatal issues such as privacy and
  data protection
• Must take seriously revenue generation

31
Must be made a major policy objective
Need practical, acceptable and affordable
solutions

• Need answers to
• What should be preserved?
• Who will archive information and what skills will
  they need?
• What meta-data will be needed and who will create
  and keep it?
• Who will pay?
