Minerva.
The objective of MINERVA is to create a network of Member States' Ministries to discuss, correlate and harmonise activities carried out in digitisation of cultural and scientific content, for creating an agreed European common platform, recommendations and guidelines about digitisation, metadata, long-term accessibility and preservation. Due to the high level of commitment assured by the involvement of EU governments, it aims to co-ordinate national programmes, and its approach is strongly based on the principle of embeddedness in national digitisation activities. It will also establish contacts with other European countries, international organisations, associations, networks, international and national projects involved in this sector, with a special focus on actions carried out in the DigiCult action of IST. The project will organise an advisory Group, relying on existing actions to identify and integrate best practices in a pan-European framework, to facilitate the adoption of the Lund action plan.
The planned activities of the project Working Groups are here presented:
- Benchmarking framework
- Inventories, discovery of digitised content, multilingualism issues
- Interoperability and Service Provision
- Identification of user needs, content and quality framework for common access points
- Identification of good practises and competence centres
