VisionWhat has happened, What is happeningWhat you can doWhat will you get out of a European Digital Library
Outline
“A common multilingual access point would make it possible to search Europe’s distributed – that is to say, held in different places by different organisations –digital cultural heritage online. Such an access point would increase its visibility and underline common features. The access point should build on existing initiatives such as The European Library (TEL), in which Europe’s libraries already cooperate. It should where possible closely associate private holders of rights in cultural material and all interested stakeholders. A strong commitment by the Member states and cultural institutions to arrive at such an access point should be encouraged.”
European Union Communiqué August 2006
EU Vision for a European digital library
End 2006 full collaboration among EU national libraries.
From 2007 collaboration to be expanded to archives and museums.
2,000,000 books, films, photographs, manuscripts, and other cultural works accessible by 2008
At least 6,000,000 works by 2010
With these goals
Si mystérieuxDe tes traîtres yeux,
Brillant à travers leurs larmes. Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.
Des meubles luisants,Polis par les ans,
Décoreraient notre chambre;Les plus rares fleursMêlant leurs odeurs
Aux vagues senteurs de l'ambre,Les riches plafonds,Les miroirs profonds,
La splendeur orientale,Tout y parlerait
À l'âme en secretSa douce langue natale.
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,Luxe, calme et volupté.
Vois sur ces canauxDormir ces vaisseaux
Dont l'humeur est vagabonde;C'est pour assouvirTon moindre désir
By November 2008

What has happened
• to provide cross-domain access to Europe’s cultural heritage.
So the Foundation will: • facilitate formal agreement across museums, archives,
audio-visual archives and libraries on how to cooperate in the delivery and sustainability of a joint portal.
• provide a legal framework for use by the EU for funding purposes and as a springboard for future governance.
