| Abstract: |
In our rapidly developing technological environment, people are coming to rely
more and more on databases and networks to access information. To meet this demand, cultural heritage institutions
particularly have to rethink traditional approaches to managing and disseminating information about their collections.
They have to think about the sustainability of their collections. Digital technologies have added new means to preserve
of cultural heritage – safeguarding it in digital space. Multimedia technologies open the door to new multimedia
business, and an electronic system of multimedia rights clearance is necessary. The prototype has to be created
in order to demonstrate multimedia data base operability on digital acquisition and archiving, transfer and
presentation of unique multimedia items as well as prove the benefits of interactive delivery. This is to stimulate
the multimedia content industry to exploit new business opportunities and establish a European platform for
information clearing and exploitation, for the transition “from scribe to screen” in cultural heritage and for the
latest EU program - eContent action to provide a bridge between companies in the digital content area and potential
investors. |
