The European Digital Library
Today, 2 March 2006, the European Commission has launched a press release
announcing the results of the on-line consultation on digital libraries
and future plans for promoting digital access to Europe's heritage by
supporting the European Digital Library. "At least six million books,
documents and other cultural works will be made available to anyone with a
Web connection through the European Digital Library over the next five
years. In order to boost European digitisation efforts, the Commission
will co-fund the creation of a Europe-wide network of digitisation
centres. The Commission will also address, in a series of policy
documents, the issue of the appropriate framework for intellectual
property rights protection in the context of digital libraries." The
European Digital Library will build upon the infrastructure of TEL (The
European Library), a webservice set up by members of the Conference of
European National Librarians (CENL) and resulting from a DigiCult research
project funded under FP5. TEL is today the gateway to the catalogue
records of collections in many national libraries, and gives also access
to a range of digitised resources of
the participating libraries. CENL states in its own press release of this
afternoon that it "welcomes with enthusiasm the European Commission's
plan" and that it "will embrace any moves to deepen existing contacts to
groups of European archives and museums and to discuss the roadmap towards
a European Digital Library. As the Europe of the future will be larger
than it is now it is also very important to address from the very
beginning all European countries, not only those that are today's EU
Member States. Building a scalable system does not only mean technical
scalability, but also functional scalability: It means taking into account
all the European languages with their different character sets."
