development must become a reality

The “political” value of the Internet-Cultural relationship is
highly topical and has been represented at the highest
political levels
“Rencontres de Paris pour l’Europe de la Culture” on 2nd
and 3rd May 2005
Answer to the strong digitalisation campaign of powerful
American search engines such as Google. Culture and
the European cultural heritage, expression of “genius,
values and the identity and particularity” of each
European nation, must be widely present on the web
Arch. Antonia P. Recchia
General Director for Technological Innovation and Promotion

Digital library should be naturally extended to the whole
heritage, libraries, museums, archives, sites, landscapes
and the entire audio-visual heritage. Cultural digital
resources concern the whole world of culture and
heritage
Arch. Antonia P. Recchia
General Director for Technological Innovation and Promotion

There is a great need to conserve and valorise cultural
diversity
Cultural heritage and culture in general are fundamental
resources for an advanced society where information
and knowledge are recognised to be positive, leading
influences. We therefore need to integrate the cultural
dimension into the context of advanced technologies,
with the intention of using the most varying technologies
in the area of culture

The institutions of memory have the role of filling the
global networks with cultural digital contents
Every European web site project demonstrated their
enormous potential: spread European digital memories
in a structured form on the WEB

What is needed to feed the cultural web sites is:

cultural content
• the diffusion on the net of this memory
