MICHAEL: Perspectives on cultural sector resource discovery, London,
Friday 23 May 2008
Registration is now open for this one-day conference in London on the
23rd May. Full details of the programme and the booking form are online
at: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/events/michael-may-2008/
The MICHAEL project (Multilingual Inventory of Cultural Heritage in
Europe) began in 2004 as a partnership between France, Italy and the
United Kingdom to create an inventory of the digital and online
resources from the cultural sector and to implement a new European
information service. With support from the European Commission's eTen
programme, the project has extended across Europe and beyond. As the
project has rolled out in each country, it has catalogued a wonderful
diversity of digital resources details of which are being made available
to global audiences through the MICHAEL European Service.
The work that the MICHAEL project is doing takes place in the context of
other initiatives to promote the discovery of cultural sector resources
and to provide user services.
On the 23 May, a one-day conference is being held to celebrate the
achievements of the MICHAEL project and to consider the perspectives of
international audiences, the European Digital Library initiative and
education audiences on the UK's digital cultural offer.
Location: Royal Institute of British Architects
<http://www.architecture.com/> , 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 4AD
Audience: The conference aims to bring together policy makers, national
experts and cultural heritage practitioners from the UK and overseas.
