EMII - DCF
The EMII Distributed Content Framework project (EMII-DCF) was funded by the
European Commission's Information
Society Technologies programme (IST) and co-ordinated by
MDA. The project took place between March
2002 and November 2003.
Nowadays museums and other cultural
institutions are increasingly making their collections available online. In an
attempt to meet all the emerging needs arising from the ongoing digitisation
enterprise of the cultural sector EMII-DCF positioned itself well enough to
inform and assist cultural organisations and projects across Europe when
involved in the digitisation of cultural heritage content.
The
project uniquely drew together all the issues related to the use of
technical standards as well as legal requirements in the digital
environment. This covered key areas such as the management of digital rights
including copyright and licensing agreements for the cultural
heritage sector.
It is EMII's belief that the DCF makes a significant
contribution to empower the cultural sector to manage and negotiate their rights
when making digitised content available on the Internet.
