DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 
- Drafting the subject of the conclusion 
(based on the 16th of October version of the Work Programme 2001) 
RTD III.1.3. Next generation digital collections
Objectives: 
To improve substantially, both qualitatively and quantitatively, access for 
citizens and professionals to Europe's expanding repositories of cultural 
and scientific knowledge.
Focus: 
- virtual heritage: visualisation and VR as new tool/methods for 
representation and navigation (e.g. of objects, collections and landscapes).
Presentation of artistic craft collections using modern tools, creating 
database of known objects that are valuable to Europen culture. The 
electronic form will provide access to the information that so far has been 
hard to get but that is essential for researchers, collectors and antique 
market, the information on iconography of objects, history of workshops, and 
three-dimensional presentation of objects on the Internet. The information 
collected in the database will be accessible on a number of levels - it is 
connected with the safety of detailed data that would be available only to 
research centres, and with copyright law if the data were to be used in 
publications of any kind.
