The European Commission on 30 September 2005 unveiled its strategy to make Europe's written and audiovisual heritage available on the Internet. Turning Europe's historic and cultural heritage into digital content would make it usable for European citizens for their studies, work or leisure and will give innovators, artists and entrepreneurs the raw material that they need. The Commission proposed a concerted drive by EU Member States to digitise, preserve, and make this heritage available to all. It presented a first set of actions at European level and invites comments on a series of issues in an online consultation (deadline for replies 20 January 2006). The replies were to feed into a proposal for a Recommendation on digitisation and digital preservation, to be presented in June 2006. |
