Dear
We are delighted to announce that the Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University
and the Maastricht McLuhan Institute are presenting a fourth edition of the
seminar series;
* Digital Cultural Heritage IV- Networked Virtual Museums and Memory
Institutions
10 - 13 July 2002, Maastricht, The Netherlands
Museum professionals, librarians, archivists, and computer scientists will
look at recent developments concerning virtual and imaginary museums, the
reconstruction of cultural objects, and interactive techniques in the
creation of augmented reality. Following on from the last three sessions
which focused on developments in the realms of museums(1999), libraries
(2000) and archives (2001), this seminar again focuses on recent
developments in the museum world and explores trends in converging methods
in memory institutions. Featured speakers will represent latest developments
and directives from UNESCO, ICOM and the European Commission's IST project,
as well as national and private sector projects, which show the scope and
possibilities available in this field.
Herewith you find the programme, which contains complete information,
including application details. You may contact me at alana at mmi.unimaas.nl or
Manon Braat at the Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University, tel +31 20
6200225, fax +31 20 6249368, with additional questions or comments. We would
be grateful if you could pass this information on to those in your
organisation who might be interested. Please accept our sincere apologies in
case of crossposting
I hope this information is of interest to you and that I have the
opportunity to welcome you in Maastricht.
With warm regards,

DIGITAL CULTURAL HERITAGE IV: Networked Virtual Museums and Memory
Institutions
10 - 13 July 2002
Initiators
Maastricht McLuhan Institute (MMI)
Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University (AMSU)
Introduction
All over the world, the titles and contents of the great libraries, museums
and art galleries are becoming available on-line. While interoperable,
technological standards are emerging, problems of interoperable
applications, tools, interfaces and usability remain.
The Maastricht McLuhan Institute was set up to study and develop methods for
knowledge organisation and knowledge management in a digital, distributed,
multimedia world. The aim of the MMI is to create comprehensive strategies
for searching, structuring, using and presenting digital resources more
coherently and efficiently; to integrate past knowledge and to produce
ordered knowledge that leads to new understanding and insights.
Aim
This year's seminar focuses on recent developments concerning virtual and
imaginary museums. In the early 1990's virtual museums typically entailed
images of a few paintings in the context of a Quick Time reconstruction of
museum rooms. In the meantime the size of scanned images typically ranges
from 30MB to 3 Gigabytes. Reconstructions include not only cultural objects
and museums but archaeological sites, sections of cities which in rare cases
are linked with satellite photographs of entire territories. The advent of
augmented reality allows a superposition of such models on real landscapes.
New interactive techniques are leading to new links between the museum
world, video games, interactive public games and even films. Networked
websites and new broadband networks for education and tourism are being
discussed. The opening lecture will survey these new trends.
The first day will focus on international developments where there is a
dramatic rise of museum web sites and discussion of broadband networks.
Thanks to the efforts of UNESCO and ICOM, there is an emerging world portal
for cultural heritage. The efforts of the European Commission are leading to
new tools for museums and digital culture as a whole. Representatives from
these organisations will report on developments.
The second day will turn to four case studies at a national level, each of
which has implications beyond the country in question. The Centre de
recherche et de restauration des musées de France (CRRMF, Paris) is working
on a Linux database to make 26,000 cultural objects each with some 150
images each freely available on-line. This entails new models for public
access to cultural heritage. In the Netherlands, the government in
conjunction with its National Research Council (NWO) has formed a consortium
for a long-term project (2003-2010) to create a "Production Street for the
Digital Library" which integrates materials from the national library,
national museum, national archives, national audio-visual archives and film
archives. Canada continues to develop its distributed virtual museum, which
integrates cultural objects from museums across an 8000 km. expanse. The
United States also has a National Initiative for Networked Cultural Heritage
(NINCH).
The third day will continue with national case studies but focus more
specifically on specific innovations. In Germany, for instance there is a
project to create an on-line distributed database of slide collections of
individual professors, which can be made accessible for education throughout
the country. In the United Kingdom, there are efforts to co-ordinate various
digitization projects in creating new resources for the educational system
as a whole. In Italy, the Nuovo Museo Elettronico (NUME) treats the whole
inner city of Bologna as a virtual museum and allows users to trace the
development of the city in the course of the past millennium. In the United
States, the Research Libraries Group (RLG) is developing new links between
library and archival records and cultural heritage.
Following on from the last three cycles of the series which focussed on
developments in the realms of museums (1999), libraries (2000) and archives
(2001) this seminar cycle focuses again on recent developments in the museum
world and explores trends in converging methods in memory institutions. The
three-year cycle of attention given to all three kinds of memory
institutions (museums, library, archives) is seen as a cumulative and
integrating process.
The seminar provides an opportunity to gain exposure to the most recent
developments in cultural heritage and to interact with other professionals
who have similar interests. The conference will be limited to a maximum of
fifty persons, with speakers and discussions in the morning and small
workshops with a maximum of fifteen in the afternoon.
An underlying concern of the conference is to draw attention to
philosophical questions of these developments. What new roles are emerging
for museums and memory institutions? How is multimedia transforming our
knowledge organisation? What are the implications for learning?
