Building bridges with BRICKS

23 June 2006, Austria

Digital Cultural Heritage Networks in Europe Workshop Residenz zu Salzburg This workshop is of particular interest for decision makers in Cultural Heritage institutions, explores the potential of networking the digital assets of such organisations. Following a keynote speech on new trends in Digital Cultural Libraries, we will demonstrate results from BRICKS – a project with the goal of building a European Digital Cultural Library. BRICKS provides a network infrastructure that allows access to all resources from any node in the network and a set of components which can be used to build applications tailored to the requirements of a specific institution. This workshop covers both aspects. First, we will show a web application that uses the infrastructure directly for storing, organizing, describing, and searching digital content. Then, the application developed for the Austrian National Library – a set of tools to build online exhibitions - will be demonstrated. A question-and-answer session and a panel discussion complete the workshop. The workshop will take place following the conference “An Expedition to European Digital Cultural Heritage” at the same venue.
