CEN/ISSS Workshop on Cultural Heritage On-line

CEN/ISSS, a recently established initiative in CEN, is creating a workshop to start a European standards activity within the area of Cultural Heritage On-line.

The first meeting of this workshop, dubbed WS/CHOL, will take place on 27th July 1998 in the afternoon at Churchill College, Cambridge as part of the EVA summer school.

You will find details of this workshop at the ISSS Web site http://www.cenorm.be/isss/Workshop/CHOL/welcome.html

Members of ISSS workshops are required to register (there is no charge) and a registration form can be filled in at this site. This enables the secretariat to maintain a register of participants and an associated e-mail distribution list.

The primary objectives of Musea are:

"to study and investigate the standardisation issues corresponding to requirements emerging from the activities related to the storage and on-line access of the Cultural Heritage (ref. SOGITS N884)."
