Challenge 4 is the foundation of a knowledge based society; it is in digital content that knowledge is stored and from digital content that knowledge is extracted and exploited by individuals and organisations across modalities and languages. This makes it crucial for this resource to be readily and reliably accessible over time to European citizens and enterprises and for every step in its lifecycle to be adequately supported and enhanced in response to changes in the technology landscape.
