Access to cultural and scientific heritage
Creating portals which allow digital access to cultural and scientific artefacts and information is a central cultural and political challenge. The ultimate goal is to give the general public free Internet access to the digital representation of cultural heritage and scientific publications which would include millions upon millions of books, archive materials, images, sculptures, musical compositions plus sound recordings, movies and notes. The plan is that everyone would gain easy access from the comfort of their own home to an interface which provides tailor made tools necessary for making a targeted, detailed search for scientific, research and educational topics.
