All ages Tourists “City lovers” / Local history, architecture, heritage enthusiasts Consumers become producers of metadata, research, reflection Since the general public will only have access to certain parts of the repository, it is especially important to consider how we will allow this group to use the material. CRB would like the general public to be able to create their own content using the repository content and adding certain elements (music, montage, colouring, text,...). This also implies the ability to file, up-and download and store materials.
