The MILE Project is hosting a free seminar on Intellectual Property Rights
as Metadata in Barcelona on 26th October 2007. Key speakers include leading
figures from the US such as Jonathan Band, who has played an integral role
in shaping legislative proposals to the US copyright office on Orphan Works,
and Jeff Sedlik, President and CEO of the PLUS Coalition; from the Museums
Documentation Association (MDA), Naomi Korn, Copyright Consultant and MDA's
IP Advisory Committee for Collections; and eminent copyright experts from
across Europe and the Middle East. A key event for IPR stakeholders with
international speakers, updating the audience on the latest copyright
developments from the UK, the EC and the US. Specific focus will centre
around the highly politicized debate on orphan works, copyright exceptions
and real case studies from the digital image industry. The seminar is led by
BAL and includes a network partnership of experienced experts in IPR law,
digital image collections and digital image technology who will encourage
audience participation and lively debate around many of the seminar's
pertinent issues
I attach our current flyer if you prefer to have a link to that; if not, all
the necessary information is also listed below. Please list this event on
your website and pass on this email to colleagues. We look forward to
welcoming you to what promises to be an exciting and informative event.

CULTURE FINE ART HISTORY
THE MILE PROJECT assembles the knowledge and expertise of partners from the
picture library industry across Europe to focus on metadata classification,
metadata search & retrieval, and Intellectual Property Rights. Developed
and originated by The Bridgeman Art Library, MILE aims to enhance the use,
accessibility and trade of digital content in order to stimulate and exploit
cultural heritage throughout the European Union.
The Bridgeman Art Library is the world's richest and most comprehensive
source of cultural and historical art images, and supports MILE's goals for
the growth and perpetuity of Europe's cultural heritage. The collection
ranges from pre-historic images to works by leading contemporary artists
covering all media and Eastern and Western art across 8000 global locations.
Our subjects are as diverse as science, historical photography, politics,
religion, medicine, sport and travel. The website is updated daily with new
images and we are becoming particularly strong in American History in
addition to a growing collection of works by Hispanic and African-American
artists.
