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 (FP5). The activity involved Salzburg Research m.b.H and the Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (HATII) at the University of Glasgow. The project started in 2001 and 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. The Technology Watch Reports were one of four ways in which DigiCULT contributed to improving the knowledge about and the use of technologies within the cultural heritage sector. DigiCULT also published the results of Fora, established a website, and produced a newsletter, which took the form of a journal.
