Initially three objectives:
1. How do we share the enormous amounts of research
which exist in memory institutions and universities?
2. How can this sharing help to develop critical
thought and methods?
3. How can we understand the new knowledge
production life cycle?
Initially three tentative answers:
1. How do we share the enormous amounts of research
which exist in memory institutions and universities?
Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER)
2. How can this sharing help to develop critical
thought and methods?
European Masters and Doctorates
3. How can we understand the new knowledge
production life cycle?
Research Matrices
Thematic Network chose seven workpackages.

Network of Centres of Excellence
EEIG and Core Members
National Members
1 Full Time representative per country to integrate national with EU activities
National Harmonising Team
The national representative and a small team of 5-10 persons paid by national
governments could work with the MINERVA national representatives to produce
directives to assure that their country takes up the standards and solutions
developed at the European level or at least employs methods which are
compatible with these standards. Compliancy with such directives could
become a criterion for federal and EU funding.

3. Research Topics/Implications
3. Research Topics/Implications
a. Developed framework for Research Matrices
3. Research Topics/Implications
b. Focussed on two clusters of questions that
could integrate research of IPS and serve as
top-down preparation for DEER
1) DILIGEANT
Access to Cultural Heritage in Memory
Institutions, Research and Industry
2) CO-CREATE
Personal and Collaborative creation
3. Research Topics/Implications
c. Identified two fundamental questions for
long-term research
1) Dynamic Knowledge
2) New Models of Culture
3. Research Topics/Implications
d. Identified five further implications
1) Massive New Content
2) Changing Methods of Scholarship
3) Distributed Multilingual Vision that includes
local, regional, national and international
4) New Fields of Study
5) Changing Boundaries of Scholarship
4. Requirements/Topics for European Masters
4. Requirements/Topics for European Masters
Used experiences of Scuola Normale and
Bologna to identify requirements and topics for
European Masters and Doctorates.
5. Identify/Define Broadband Pilots
5. Identify/Define Broadband Pilots
a i) Identified three integrating themes:
1) Intelligent Multimedia Museums
2) Hypermedia On Line
3) Hypermedia E-Learning
5. Identify/Define Broadband Pilots
a ii) Used these three integrating themes
to define 23 projects.
5. Identify/Define Broadband Pilots
b) CINECA and Universidad Complutense
carried out a concrete broadband pilot using
images of the Vatican fresco Map of Bologna.
5. Identify/Define Broadband Pilots
c) a tesi di laurea (CINECA) demonstrates
how subsets can be used for different levels of
connectivity.

E-Culture Net: Long Term Goal
To provide multilingual access to Europe’s cultural
and scientific heritage for all its citizens.
How do we Proceed Practically?
How do we Operationalize the Vision?
E-Culture Net

Thematic Network
FP 6
Network of Centres of Excellence for
Research and Education in Digital Culture
.
E-Culture Net: Goals
1. Research Matrix
2. Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER)
3. European Masters and Doctorates
NoE will focus on
Distributed European Electronic Resource (DEER)
with interim version called
(Distributed European Electronic Dynamic (DEED)
Resource
DEED is “an action”
“a signed and usually sealed instrument
containing some legal transfer, bargain
or contract.”
FP6 Proposal
1. Integrating Activities
2. Joint Research Programme
3. Spreading Excellence
4. Management
E-Culture NoE: Goals
1. Integrate research, methods, training, teaching
2. Integrate regional, local diversity
3. Integrate new standards, solutions and trends.
E-Culture NoE: Goals
1. Build
