FP 5 Thematic Network

E-Culture Net: Goals

1. Research Matrix

2. Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER) 3. European Masters and Doctorates

Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER)

became a DEED

(Distributed European Electronic Dynamic) Resource

DEED is “an action”

“a signed and usually sealed instrument containing some legal transfer, bargainor contract.”

E-Culture NoE: Goals

1. Integrate research, methods, training, teaching 2. Integrate regional, local diversity

3. Integrate new standards, solutions and trends.

E-Culture NoE: Goals

1. Build DEED(Distributed European Electronic Dynamic) Resource

2. Fill DEED

Networks to reflect national, regional and local diversity

3.Update DEED Research Matrices with Specialised Networks.

E-Culture NoE: Long Term Goal

To provide multilingual access to Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage for all its citizens.

What began as a scanning of objects now includes

processes, rooms, buildings, sites, cities, cultural landscapes and

routes (silk, spice, wool, pilgrimage etc).

We need to share the rich contents of research institutions and cultural organisations

to compare research methods and to develop critical approaches

in order to achieve an European Research Area (ERA).

We need secure, multilingual access via authority files of catalogues, inventories etc.

We need to integrate these resources into European Masters, Doctorates, Training, E-Learning.

National Harmonising Team

The national representative and a small team of 5-10 persons paid by national governments could work with the MINERVA national representatives to produce directives to assure that their country takes up the standards and solutions developed at the European level or at least employs methods which are compatible with these standards. Compliancy with such directives could become a criterion for federal and EU funding.
