Abstract

DIGMAP is a project that will develop solutions for georeferenced digital libraries, especially focused on historical materials and in the promoting of our cultural and scientific heritage. The final results of the project will consist in a set of services available in the Internet, and in reusable open-source software solutions. The main service will be a specialized digital library, reusing metadata from European national libraries, to provide discovery and access to contents. Relevant metadata from third party sources will be also reused, as also descriptions and references to any other relevant external resource. The initiative will make a proof of concept reusing and enriching the contents from several European national libraries.
