BRICKS - Building Resources for Integrated Cultural Knowlwdge Services
The BRICKS Integrated Project (IP) aims at establishing the organizational and technological foundations of a digital library at the level of a European Digital Memory (EDM). A “digital library“ in this context refers to a networked system of services over globally available collections of multimedia digital documents, providing different knowledge layers for a variety of users and access modes. The BRICKS vision is an integrated system that offers functionality for a new generation of digital libraries, a comprehensive term covering “digital museums“, “digital archives“ and other kinds of digital memory systems. The results of the project will constitute the main assets of a factory, which has been subsidized by the Consortium partners and the EU under the IP, but will be self-sustaining thereafter. The mission of the BRICKS Factory is the definition, development and maintenance of a user- and service-oriented space to share knowledge and resources in the Cultural Heritage domain.
