A Knowledge Society implies constant innovation and change. Challenges appear at all levels: policy

making and steering the state, the economy, the educational system, the integration of the society.

The present conference deals with the challenges and opportunities a Knowledge Society poses in the area of culture. The set of spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society and social groups. Art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together,

value systems, traditions and beliefs. (UNESCO, 2002)

All that enable us to define ourselves and attribute significance to life and society.

digital preservation (I) August 2006 Digitisation and Online Accessibility

Survey and overview current and planned – books, newspapers, photographs, museum object,

archives, audiovisual – prevent duplication Develop quantitative targets Encourage partnerships public/private Large scale digitisation facilities Promote multilingual European digital library Encourage rightholders to make their collections

searchable Encourage application of common digitisation

standards in order to achieve interoperability and facilitate searchability


Commission Recommendation o the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and

digital preservation (II) August 2006 Digital Preservation

Establish national strategies for long term preservation and access that describe the organisational approach indicating the roles and

responsibilities of the parties and allocated resources contain specific action plans outlining the objectives and a time table

for the specific targets to met Exchange information with each other Legislate so as to allow multiple copying and migration by public

institutions for preservation When setting policies and procedures for deposit of material

originally created in digital format prevent wide divergence

Legislate for the preservation of web-content by mandate institutions using techniques like Web harvesting in full respect of IPR

Inform the Commission 18 months from the publication and every two years of action taken in response to this Recommendation
