WORKSHOP
MICHAEL: Accessing the European Digital Cultural Collection
The Workshop is organised by the MICHAEL (Multilingual Inventory of Cultural Heritage in Europe - www.michael-culture.org) Project, coordinated by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities within the framework of the eTEN Programme.
The Project intends to define a common approach and a model of digital cultural heritage services that will be applied across the participating countries. It focuses on the integration and alignment of many national initiatives in the digital cultural heritage sector. MICHAEL is going to deliver interoperability of national cultural portal initiatives and a high-quality end-user service, which will facilitate the exploitation of European cultural content resources.
The Project will establish an international online service, allowing its users to search, browse and examine multiple national cultural portals from a single point of access. This online service will be actively supported and endorsed by the national governments and agencies responsible for cultural heritage.
The partners of MICHAEL currently are the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council, in the United Kingdom. The Ministries of Culture of Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden will soon join the network.
