4. Need to build preservation into creation/production life-cycle such that preservation becomes a part of every IP and STRP just as dissemination is today.

Preservation of and Access to Existing Cultural Knowledge

We need a

Grid for Culture

which builds on the solutions of the

E-Science Grid

where appropriate.


This requires building high speed broadband into projects

so that institutions are linked through GEANT.


.


In science laws apply globally

In culture expressions vary nationally, regionally and locally.


To overcome problems of subsidiarity we need an approach that leaves

national, regional and especially local cultures and languages intact

to assure a

Unity of diversities (Ruffolo)


Digital Autonomous Cultural Objects (DACOs, Thaller)and

Multilingual Access to Subjects (MACS)

offer part of the solution.


Use templates for links to different local, regional, national templates:

Master Templates


We need not just the official story but

the same story from different viewpoints.

Roadmap for a Solution

Network of Excellence (Noe) for Culture

1. Build National Networks to share critical methods and content

2. Research Matrices > Network of Networks

3. Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER):integrate STRPs and IPs

4. European Masters and Doctorates

5. Dissemination

Research Matrices

From Specialised Networks of Excellence

towards a Network of Networks for the

Entire Knowledge Production Life-Cycle.
