DigiCULT Forum 3: Topic: XML: Towards an Interoperable Semantic Web for Heritage Resources

XML: Towards an Interoperable Semantic Web for Heritage Resources

Gathered on a cold winters day at Frauenhofer IPSI in Darmstadt for the third in a series of seven DigiCULT Fora, it seemed only appropriate that the invited experts should be asked to deal with a hot topic. A topic that although increasingly quoted in the development arena remains illusive in substance. The reserved opening statements in the forum echoed this sense of despair, however it soon made way for a lively and provocative discussion that was unleashed, with the question what is the Semantic Web, and what will it bring, or not bring to archives, libraries and museums?

We invite you to return to DigiCULT in March 2003 for the results of discussions among professionals and experts, representing the diversity of approach within the university, application development and Cultural Heritage communities about "XML: Towards an Interoperable Semantic Web for Heritage Resources".
