Our vision To implement the data and service infrastructure for the research in the digital cultural heritage To further develop the national/regional frameworks of cooperation with content providers (that is the legacy of MICHAEL) To secure the committment of the stakeholders to sustain the infrastructure on a medium-long term EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU

Scope and objectives of DC-NET
To foster cooperation between cultural sector research bodies and technology and infrastructure providers To harmonise initiatives of the EU Ministries of Culture into a common strategy for the digital cultural heritage To develop and to endorse a research agenda for the digital cultural heritage, shared among the MS and the EC To translate the strategic road map into coordinated programmes and action plans EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU 7

Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
Joint Activities Plan Developing a range of guidelines and recommendations for the exploitation of the e-Infrastructures in the digital cultural heritage, based on the successful approach of MINERVA Implementing of a data and services infrastructure for the digital cultural heritage. This e-infrastructure is an evolution of MICHAEL Creating a multidisciplinary virtual research community that will start to work in DC-NET. EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU 8

The virtual research community
The cultural sector meets technology providers Cultural Institutions (museums, libraries, archives, audio-visual, archaeology..) Central Institutes representing the national/regional authorities (standardisation & cataloguing, preservation, restoration, etc.) Ministries of culture Regional local cultural bodies MEET WITH Universities and academies Ministries of research NREN Other e-Infrastructures (e.g. Grid) R&D enterprises Public research centers

What is “digital heritage”
Digital items and collections Digital image archives Audiovisual Sounds, music, recordings Digital born 3D Databases, digital catalogues and other services Data from scientific research on cultural heritage EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU 10 10
11
What are “digital libraries”
Two possible approaches: Databases of digital contents representing cultural items (images, sounds, audiovisuals, ecc.) Digital catalogues of metadata and other services connected with digital contents in a single platform Target: general users or professionals or researchers 11 11
12
What are research “e-infrastructure”
Integration of various features: Advanced software platform Complex data Virtual research community Services Telematic networks, storage and computing platforms Target: professionals, researchers – No general users 12 12
13
What are “portals” and “aggregators”
Both do not include digital resources (in a systematic way) They provide information and services, and forward to external digital libraries and databases for accessing contents Target: mostly general users; Researchers are not the main target EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU 13 13

Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
The state of the art Insufficient use of e-infrastructures Multilingualism and transnational collaborations Access to cultural objects Availability of quality digital contents Digital libraries: research beyond the text Towards more and more user interaction Management and control of IPR Long-term preservation of digital content Towards a new digital infrastructure for digital heritage EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU

Research priorities Networking ICT Research Innovative services and pilots Excellence networks, competence centres, labs for innovation in cultural heritage EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
16
1. Networking Needs analysis Who-is-Who
Policies and programmes profiling Best practices Consensus building Shared recommendations and guidelines Advocacy Dissemination and awareness Commitment of stakeholders
17
Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
2. ICT Research Digitisation and digital documentation of cultural heritage Quality of digital object and uses Digital repositories and digital preservation Innovative services for access Knowledge infrastructures ecosystems EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
18
3. Innovative services and pilots
Services requirements analysis Evolution of MICHAEL service (integration with national portals) Authentication and authorization infrastructure Pilots in audiovisual digital heritage Pilots integrating scientific data from scientific labs working on tangible heritage (chemistry, physics, geology etc.) Virtual reality, 3D, GIS, Mobile Technologies E-Learning, e-collaboration
19
Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
4. Competence centres For example on: Persistent digital identifiers (PID) management Authorisation management to copyrighted material Cost reduction technologies in digitisation and cataloguing Definition of standards and interoperability protocols Multilingualism New models of training …… EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella Caffo, MiBAC/ICCU
20
New professional profiles
Integrated competences in digital heritage and ICT: Digitisation of cultural documents and creation of digital resources Digital collection and digital repository management Management of digital object and data Digital data curation Long-term preservation workflows Multilingual information access Management of intellectual property Usability and accessibility of digital resources Uses and users studies, target analysis etc.

Impacts Impact on the e-Infrastructures:
The adoption of the e-Infrastructures by the digital cultural heritage community will open new scenarios of use and exploitation Impact on the cultural heritage Cultural managers will become more aware about the potential that the e-infrastructures can offer to their work Impact on European research: A better integration of the cultural sector with the e-Infrastructures will enable the research of new advanced services and applications Impact on the general public: Digital cultural content will become more usable and re-usable for education, cultural tourism, long-life learning, non-professional cultural interests, … EVA/MINERVA 2010 Rossella CAFFO, MiBAC/ICCU 21 21 21
