The use of open source software is clearly on the rise. The many
advantages it holds over proprieta ry software, such as its flexibility
and adaptability, not to mention cost, have drawn many champio ns from
both the public and private sectors, though it is not without its
drawbacks.

Subject: Symposium on cultural heritage management
Public-Private Partnership in the Management of Cultural Heritage
Assets: a European Challenge International Seminar on the
occasion of the German Presidency of the EU Council 2007
National Museums Berlin, Museum / Dahlem
Berlin
15-16 June 2007
While the attention given to cultural heritage by Government and media has
never been greater than at present, paradoxically, there are strong
indications of declining direct Government support for those public
institutions responsible for conservation practice and teaching.
In the field of cultural heritage management, Public-Private Partnerships
(PPP) appear a promising perspective to balance increasing pressure of
market forces on the one hand and governments respons ibilities in
protecting public values on the other hand.
The international trend of privatizing public services also concerns the
conservation of cultural h eritage as a public value. It has become
obvious that the State's capacities as a safeguarder and p rovider of
public services are, at least in financial terms, limited. This new
situation is reflect ed in reduced funding support for conservation
institutions.
In some cases, to cope with the rising costs of managing the increasing
number of museums, heritage
monuments, sites and the like, private investments and sponsorship are
evidently providing necess
ary support. So far, the tendency of privatizing state-owned cultural
heritage has resulted in an i ncrease in the contracting out (outsourcing)
of conservation projects to the private sector.
At all these levels, despite the high quality of individual project work
that can result and the op portunities for the development of
Public-Private-Partnership in this field, there are still some c oncerns
about policies to be adopted.
At the international seminar in Berlin, experts and decision-makers will
come together to discuss t he current state and future perspectives of
Public-Private Partnerships in the management of cultur al heritage assets
in Europe. The focus will be on the privatisation of conservation, which
has a n umber of implications at the level of Governments'
responsibilities towards heritage conservation, with respect to the
professional training and employment of conservators and regarding
fundamental issues such as documentation and maintenance work.
The following topics will be addressed:
Analysis of the current situation: successful models of Public-Private
Partnership in Conservat
ion and Site Management (case studies)
Discussion on issues raised in both Public and Private Conservation
and Site Management (Econom
ic Aspects, Technology Transfer, Tourism and Private Sector Involvement,
Quality control of outsour ced works, Conservation and Conservation
Science as assets for European competitiveness )
Implications of Private-Public Partnerships (Legal, ethical,
professional implications of priva
tization in conservation and cultural heritage management, Aspects of
training and teaching - emplo yment prospects for conservators )
On June 16, 2007 round table discussions focusing on the above topics will
provide opportunities fo r exchange between lecturers and workshop
participants. Papers are accepted. Some of them will be s elected for oral
presentation; the remaining ones may be presented as posters. Papers and
outcome o f the Seminar are supposed to be subject to publication.
Registration fee: 100 Euro, students discount 50 Euro. The fee covers
information materials, assist ance to the sessions and coffee breaks.
After May 15, 2007 the registration fee will be 150 Euro.

Onderwerp: [DIGLIB] FYI France: The European Digital Library, europeana.eu
FYI France -- The European Digital Library, europeana.eu
An initial installment in the French & European response to Google's
Digital Library effort now is online, at,
http://www.europeana.eu <http://www.europeana.eu/>
and it is impressive: [tr. JK]
"Europeana, the French contribution to the European
Digital Library... Europeana is a prototype digital
library developed by the Bibliothèque Nationale de
France, for the European Digital Library project.
"Europeana offers approximately 12,000 copyright-free
documents from the BnF, the Széchényi National Library of
Hungary, and the National Library of Portugal.
"Search, Use, Personalize... a large assortment of tools
and services, for doing research about or within a book,
for reading, for printing and downloading documents, and
for creating one's own personal library...
"To make your own suggestions, complete the online
questionnaire..."
-- there even is a "Ma bibliothèque" feature, the little green box in the
upper right corner, offe ring,
* "My homepage"
* "My documents"
* "Mes Ă©tiquettes" [wonderfully un-translate-able] -- "An
Ă©tiquette allows you to mark the pages of the documents
which you choose..." -- placemarks, then, maybe even
underlining, and notes?... -- Yes! You set up an account,
"download" a document to it, then use the software to
make your notes, which reappear every time you log in...
The initial interface is simple and clear: a "Onebox", in fact, for the
intuitively-inclined --
___________ =>
-- via which "kessler" currently pulls up fully 30 short-format entries,
10 per page -- there were lots of Kesslers and Koestlers and Keszlers and
Köstlers, back in 19th c. Hungary, and the SzĂ©chĂ ©nyi must offer quite
a few of those, mostly normalized to "Kessler" -- one Keszler too though,
I s ee, plus 10 Koestlers -- and "Köstler" interestingly pulls up one "LE
COMTE KOSTIA", one "Comte Ko stla", a "KĂ´stler", and a "Der Kirchun Josu
kostl".
So I suppose the Onebox is looking at everything OCR'd, then:
very useful for certain types of searching, but I wonder how that will
scale up to a really large c ollection?... searching the whole BnF's
digitized fulltext, bibliographies and footnotes and all, n on-indexed, on
a string such as *hugo*...
The entries retrieved offer a promising-looking term frequency statistic
-- also, beneath that, a r elevance ranking composed of slider-bar plus
percentage, i.e.,
#1
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
100%
#2
xxxxxxxx
45%
#3
Nombre d'occurrences dans l'oeuvre : 2
xx
6%
#4
Nombre d'occurrences dans l'oeuvre : 1
xx
6%
...
#8
Nombre d'occurrences dans l'oeuvre : 7
xx
4%
-- although I can't figure out why that last entry which has 7 "kesslers"
in it is ranked #8 while the previous two, which have only 2 or 1, are
ranked higher, or how the item ranked #1 came to cont ain "100%
kesslers"... They're using Apache Lucene: "Le document disposant du score
le plus élevé
obtient une pertinence de 100%", they say... But I suppose someone is
checking all this out, and t
hat there is some sort of logical explanation for all of it: gotta get the
ranking-algorithm right,
so I hope they have.
The site offers full explanations, and fascinating background as to the
procedures followed and cho ices made so far, at,
http://www.europeana.eu/html/aide/projet.html
<http://www.europeana.eu/html/aide/proje
t.html>
http://www.europeana.eu/html/aide/rechercher.html
<http://www.europeana.eu/html/aide/re
chercher.html>
And for the not-so-intuitively-inclined, us non-Mac-users, two boxes offer
indexing: very useful, a lthough problematic too, perhaps, as the
collection scales up in size and complexity --
* "Choose a Criterion"
* "Era -- 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th c."
* "Language -- German, English, Spanish, French,
Hungarian, Italian, Latin, Portuguese"
* "Provenance -- BnF, the Széchényi, NLPortugal"
-- so for example the collection currently holds 51 documents from the
16th c., 3929 in Hungarian, 1041 from the NLPortugal --
* "Choose a Theme"
* "Generalities"
* "Philosophy and psychology"
* "Religion"
* "Economy and society"
* "Languages"
* "Sciences"
* "Technical"
* "Arts and leisure"
* "Literature"
* "History and geography"
-- and 25 "Generalities" documents concern "printing & publishing", while
2 concern "bibliophilie",
and currently 11 documents are about "Earth sciences", 2 are on "English
literature", 249 are on "
Geography and voyages"...
And for both "Criteria" and "Themes", simply clicking on the relevant
category conveniently brings up the short-form catalog entries with links
to the documents themselves:
* Short-form catalog entry example --

-- and the digitization appears to be very legible -- original scanning
resolution being the key, 3 00dpi being very often too little, 1200dpi
being often but not always too much...
The Hungarian digital fulltexts, curiously but also very interestingly,
come up via an interface in
Hungarian offering,
HTML, Word, RTF, PDF, LIT, JPEG
-- both Zipped and non, if my Hungarian gets that right -- but all of
which appears to be sitting i n Budapest, for now, or at least my San
Francisco DSL retrieval of 13.75MB crawled *very* slowly to ward me from
wherever the file currently is residing, about 2 long minutes to download
that .pdf, I 'd say --
http://mek.oszk.hu/02700/02744/02744.pdf
<http://mek.oszk.hu/02700/02744/02744.pdf>
-- although when it finally reached me I couldn't really read it, owing to
Finno-Urgic deficiencies
with my own ancient familial tongue, but the cave-exploration images came
across well and do look
fascinating. I expect download delays eventually will be improved via
systems improvements and mirr or sites, though.
The NLPortugal texts, too, are reached via an interface different from
both the BnF and the SzĂ©chĂ ©nyi... so what they have done here, for
europeana.edu, is link distributed databases in a true "vi rtual" union
catalog... fascinating...
So an NLPortugal text offers, for example,

-- my "user's" question being whether any of this, or any of the Hungarian
texts, really will be am enable to annotation and other text treatment in
my personal "Mes Ă©tiquettes" fiddling, within my own little "Ma
bibliothèque"... Not yet, apparently: for now I can annotate BnF
documents, but it seems the Széchényi and the NLPortugal documents
still are "out there" in the Internet aether som ewhere -- viewable and
downloadable and therefore usable, but not yet amenable to the full "Ma
bibl iothèque" personalized treatment -- haircut but no full spa
treatment, yet -- that will have to aw ait "standards" meetings and
protracted negotiations of the future, I expect.
Still though, all three, the NLPortugal and the Hungarian Széchényi and
the BnF, _are_ indexed an d presented together, here, in one place. The
interface is, as I said initially, simple and clear, and its presentation
of three collections as far-flung in European terms as they can be is very
imp ressive.
A Note:
Even more significant, perhaps, is that the Europeans have presented this
in direct response to Goo gle's digital library efforts. See the extensive
discussion in the press and presse, throughout Eur ope and in the
anglophone digital library world, on "le défi Google" and Continental
Europe's reac tion to it...
That prompts the more general thought that the controversy involved may
have been, may still be, si mply another instance of glass half empty /
glass half full: yes there has been a "challenge", here , as J-J
Servan-Screiber would have put it, but sometimes a challenge is what is
needed to get othe rs moving -- and in this case move they did, and it is
a very useful and interesting result.
Google's approach was different. These Europeans -- the BnF here, together
with its Hungarian and P ortuguese partners -- are approaching the same
goal with different ideas, different mindsets and pr econceived notions,
different strategies and tactics, different tools -- even a different
"Onebox",
maybe.
But long live les différences... alors... If we analyze both,
side-by-side, each side will learn s omething, and ultimately both will
benefit. The "virtual" union fulltext database offered by the Eu ropeans
may be the better way to go, or one as good, or one simply different; the
unified and simpl y-operated Google approach may be very useful too;
perhaps both have a valuable role to play going forward, then, serving
different publics or perhaps serving the same but in different ways.
So the more the merrier, and the better for us the users... Now instead of
"just Google", the pione er, we *also* have "the Europeans", with their
differences whatever those will be. And these are on ly two, after all: we
also need a Chinese online digital library, and an online digital library
fro m India, or several or even many of each -- who else will bring us
adequate treatment of the eccent ricities of Kannada and Uighur texts, or
challenges at least to the accepted treatments of same in use in the rest
of the world -- some things simply are approached differently, in
different places on the planet, and virtual digital libraries can reach
them all.
So congratulations to the team(s) assembling europeana.eu : may their
efforts increase, and thrive,
and may we all learn much we never knew about Portuguese bibliography,
and Hungarian speleology, a
nd search & retrieval generally, as a result. Their new site offers much
which ought to be of great
interest to both Googlers and the many others who will want to contribute
time and effort to digit
al libraries.
And a pps., suggesting a digital-libraries viewpoint:
Archilochus figured the world is composed of both foxes, who have many
ideas, and hedgehogs, who ha ve one big idea...
France is focussed on their présidentielles next weekend: la nation goes
to the urnes on Sunday th e 22nd, in what promises to be their most
significant election since 1958 -- "On Elise", as Le Cana rd Enchainé
puts it.
But the focus of foreigners, at least, perhaps should be more on the
*ongoing* nature of things Fre nch: the very immediacy of our digital
media leads us too often to believe that all details are sig nificant --
but just because a thing appears on CNN doesn't make it so, or at least
that doesn't ma ke a thing important.
Of course a presidential election may be an important thing; but then
presidents and governments co me and go -- constitutions, too
-- while much remains the same far longer, in a place as large and as old
as France. Via our modern
media we see too much detail, perhaps -- "The world is too much with us",
the poet said
-- we lose sight of immense forests, and of sometimes-encroaching
wastelands, in our daily fascinat ions with individual trees.
So GoogleEarth can be of great help, in this effort to view both the
forests and their trees: try f ocussing on France from Space, using
GoogleEarth, then zoom in to see some tiny detail and zoom out
again -- France is a big place, with a lot going on inside it, and not
all of that in Paris, en dĂ
©pit...
earth.google.com
Wikimapia, too: the comments there of small folks, and simply the
indications of what to them seems
important, show up well: every little person in Rajasthan nowadays is
scribbling something onto Wi
kimapia about his own tiny village, it seems, ditto villagers in the
Vaucluse -- it is a fascinatin g process, and one taking place very
independently of the more mediagenic events surrounding the El ysées
Palace and its occupants...
wikimapia.org
Isaiah Berlin's modern update of Archilochus' notion provides some
instruction, and some comfort, i n any politically - tumultuous time.
Berlin was in love with politics, and he masterfully morphed t he old
Greek's more general image into a metaphor, describing the daily lives of
political writers and politicians and their endless controversies,
everywhere. Berlin's "The Hedgehog and the Fox" (1 953) points out that
both "hedgehog"
and "fox" views are valid, although we very often do not know which one we
ourselves represent, and
we do tend to vacillate between the two.
It often is not the details but the generalities, then, which
matter: not the science but the music, what used to be called the Harmony
of the Spheres -- and the re _is_ a harmony, in all of this, no matter
which way a given election swings. It is just that the
level of focus necessary for finding that harmony tends to vary.
Aux urnes, then: the results there may merit detailed attention, as they
do in the US too and in ot her human "jurisdictions". The political foxes
may provide a harmonious result. But even if not, th e hedgehog view from
farther out still will be instructive, and may provide comfort: even if
one ha s to look at it from *very* far out in Space... from 16,000 miles
out, as GoogleEarth does.
>From Space, at least, it still is Archie MacLeish's Earth: "small and blue
and beautiful in that et ernal silence where it floats"
-- and the Hexagone still is one of the more beautiful and promising
portions of our little planet -- as demonstrated by that view of it from
Space, and by ongoing cultural achievements such as euro peana.eu

DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) announces its Research and Industrial
Exchange Programme (DPEX) htt
p://www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange
<http://www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange>
Research and practice in digital preservation is patchy, fragmented, and
disconnected. Communicatio n between research groups is limited and does
not always engage with the needs of practitioners. Ex change of
professional practitioners and researchers provides a valuable way to
understand and over come these barriers. They can facilitate knowledge
exchange, capacity building, and innovation.
DigitalPreservationEurope, building on the earlier successful work of
ERPANET, works to improve coo rdination, cooperation and consistency in
current digital preservation and curation activities to s ecure the
longevity of digital assets and heritage. DPE, supported by the European
Union with fundi ng under the Sixth Framework Programme, recognises the
value of exchange programmes as a mechanism to establish
cross-institutional synergies.
It is our hope that the planned twenty-five DPE Exchanges will propagate
knowledge, capacity and in novation as well as foster better cooperation
among research institutions and industrial partners w orking on meeting
pressing challenges in digital preservation. DPEX aims to encourage
innovative pr actice through research collaboration and to build bridges
between practitioners and researchers.
Participants in the DPEX programme benefit from contact with the
experienced preservation professio nals, engagement in environments where
preservation challenges are encountered on a daily basis, an d/or contact
with renowned research labs and industrial partners in the area of digital
preservatio n in Europe. DPEX will allow participants to look beyond their
specific professional environment.
Exchanges should typically last for four weeks and the DPEX support of up
to 3500 euros per exchang e can be used to meet partially the costs of
accommodation, subsistence, and travel. Unfortunately,
DPEX support cannot be used to meet salary costs and currently exchanges
must involve participants from and institutions located in EU Member
States.
The first application deadline is June 1st 2007 with selected exchanges
being announced on the 1st of July 2007. There will be three further
deadlines for applications under what we hope will be the
first phase of the DPEX Programme: October 2007, January 2008, June 2008.
The application process
can be completed online. Full programme details (including terms and
conditions) are available at w ww.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange
<outbind://61/www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange>
<http://www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange
<http://www.digitalpreservationeurope.eu/exchange
> >.
Completed applications will be reviewed by an independent review committee
of six researchers and p ractitioners is chaired by Birte
Christensen-Dalsgaard, Statsbiblioteket (Denmark) and Andreas Raub er,
Vienna University of Technology (Austria). Their decision as to whether or
not to make an excha nge award will be final.
