Saygilarimla, Arif Bilgin SAU, Tarih Bolumu   Fondazione Rinascimento Digitale, Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali and The Library of Congress are delighted to present the Conference CULTURAL HERITAGE on line Empowering users: an active role for user communities 15-16 December 2009, Florence, Italy   Following the success of the previous conference held in 2006, the Foundation Rinascimento Digitale, in collaboration with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and the Library of Congress, is delighted to announce the 2nd edition: CULTURAL HERITAGE on line Empowering users: an active role for user communities . The conference aims to explore, analyze, and evaluate the state of the art and future trends in user communities and cultural contents on the web from an international perspective, and bring together academic researchers, policy makers and practitioners, providing a forum for the discussion and dissemination of the selected themes. Internet continues to have an impressive impact on cultural heritage and humanist communities by affecting the way they work, use, exchange and produce knowledge. New architectures and radically different paradigms arise continuously engendering a deep rethinking of traditional roles and tasks. Though a continuous increase in ICT use has spread in the cultural heritage community, cultural institutions have been slower to adopt new technologies for cultural, economic and organizational reasons. Today it seems that users not only are able to adapt to technological changes faster than cultural institutions, but they are also driving innovation, by proposing new ideas and building up new paradigms of knowledge production. The conference will start on the 15th of December with keynote lectures that investigate user needs and expectations, analysing how to better involve users and the cultural heritage community in creating and sharing digital resources. The plenary session on the 16th will start with the presentation of national and international scenarios, followed by two thematic sessions with scientific speeches selected through a Call for Papers, that will ascertain the advancement of the research on the relationship user-institution towards the development of cooperative Web 2.0 tools and on sustainable digital preservation policies.

The cultural and humanists communities are not excluded from these changes: new architectures and radically different paradigms arise continuously forcing a deep rethinking of traditional roles and tasks. The focus is not on technology but on real benefits and concrete opportunities, as well as on the limits and risks, for both users and institutions. In particular for a very long term vision the user point of view must be the starting point for any digital policy and strategy. Luciana DURANTI, University of British Columbia,Vancouver The Long-term preservation of digital heritage The long term preservation of the content of a digital repository is a challenge for all professions that rely on continuing accessibility to accurate and authentic sources. Undoubtedly, the requirements and constraints for such preservation are dependent on the application domain. In particular, archival material requires particular attention to issues such as trustworthiness, accountability, evidentiary use, moral and legal rights, and privacy. However, increasingly also non archival materials are falling under similar requirements and constraints. So, one of the key questions regarding digital preservation becomes: what are the lessons that the managers of digital repositories of all kinds can learn from digital archivists? This presentation will use examples from the InterPARES 3 case studies to illustrate common problems and pitfalls as well as common solutions. Daniel TERUGGI, Institut National de l’Audiovisuel Ethical considerations about 'digital contents' versus original cultural works Analogue technologies are not eternal and so the only way to preserve our culture is to digitise that and then to migrate following technology developments. But digitising cultural heritage we produce new digital contents ‘original’ and so ‘different’ from the ‘real original’ contents: can we accept this? Andrea GRANELLI, Kanso s.r.l Learning processes on the Net: more information or noise? Learning processes and knowledge creation and dissemination on the Net: how the new digital technologies could/should be used and which are the risks - technical, cultural, psychological - associated (and not so often discussed) with their use. 13:30 - 15:00 Lunch 15:00 - 18:00 Plenary Session (Invited lectures) CHAIR PERSON Martha ANDERSON, National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program Office of Strategic Initiatives Library of Congress Introduction to the session Helen TIBBO, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina User-_base_d evaluation in the Web 2.0 world Increasingly cultural heritage institutions are providing access to their holdings and a variety of user services through their websites. Feedback from users and potential users is essential to the sound development and ongoing improvement of these efforts. This presentation will cover the range of activities cultural heritage institutions can undertake to elicit such feedback in today’s web environment including surveys, interactive websites, and web analytics tools. Dan COHEN, Department of History and Art History, George Mason University Cooperative Web tools and user-generated content for cultural heritage: advantages and limits Can cultural heritage institutions take advantage of new social media such as Twitter? With the rapid growth of such tools, this talk will appraise the nature of networking, crowdsourcing, and viral promotion. Issues: social networking platforms • business models • twitter • viral video • blogs • social promotion engines • crowd sourcing • audience building • word of mouth promotions, branding • promotional uses John UNSWORTH, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois Computational methods in humanities research This talk will consider the impact, potential, and limitations of computational methods applied to scholarship and research in the humanities. The following questions, among others, will be considered: What's the difference between using a computer and using computational methods? What are the conditions that call for computational methods? What kinds of research questions can be addressed computationally? What research questions cannot be addressed computationally? Ingrid PARENT, Library of the University of British Columbia Internet-driven convergence between libraries, archives, museums: an opportunity, an inevitability or both? Internet systems today offer an enormous scope of opportunity for innovative use of digital content. Increased ease in searching and accessing content promotes collaboration and the sharing of ideas across diverse communities. While this sounds strategic for the cultural sector, libraries, archives and museums often remain in their silos. What specific conditions are necessary to ensure a successful output and concrete benefits for the users?
