DigiCult - Expanding the use of Europe's cultural and scientific resources
EU-funded research on cultural heritage, digital libraries and digital preservation deals with leading-edge information and communication technologies for expanding access to and use of Europe's rich cultural and scientific resources. It also investigates how digital content created today will survive as the cultural and scientific knowledge of the future.
The research is closely aligned with the work of cultural and memory organisations (such as archives, libraries and museums) and contributes to the i2010 Digital Libraries Initiative, a flagship project within the European Commission's strategy to boost the digital economy. (Source: Cordis)
