The ContextThe scenario in which the project operates
Fashion is an important part of our European Cultural Heritage.
A growing interest in Fashion content is developing in a broader audience (not only professionals and domain specialists).
Digitisation and on-line access is fundamental in allowing museums and archives to exploit their holdings.
But there are still some remaining challenges…
Challenges and open issues
Many Fashion institutions, both public and private, reconsidered the role of their archives as an important resource. This led to new investments in conservation and digitisation of their heritage, but still some issues remains:
Scattered access
Lack of interoperability
Rights issues • Lack of exploitation strategies
