DigiCULT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Digital Culture Forum (DigiCULT Forum, IST-2001-34898) monitored and assessed research and technological developments in and for the cultural heritage sector in Europe. DigiCULT received support from the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme under the 5th Framework Programme. The activity involved Salzburg Research m.b.H and the Humanties Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII) at the University of Glasgow. The project finished on 31 December 2004.

DigiCULT examined the changing face of technology to identify developments that could be deployed without further work, those that would require further development or repurposing and those that are still in promising, early stages of gestation DigiCULT’s project team recognises the risks of adopting a technology driven approach. The Technology Watch Reports were only one of four ways in which DigiCULT contributes to improving the knowledge about and the use of technologies within the cultural heritage sector. DigiCULT also published the results of Fora, established a key website, and a Newsletter, which was more of a journal.
