European FP7 - ICT calls for proposal on Digital Libraries.

Synopsis

Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7) is the European Union´s chief instrument for funding research over the period 2007 to 2013. As part of the programme mentioned above is the Information and Communication Technologies FP7 (ICT) Work Programme , which defines the priorities for the calls for proposals to be launched in 2007. One of the challenges is “Digital Libraries and Content”

The obejectives are: semantic-based knowledge and content systems, technology-enhanced learning, and access to and preservation of cultural and scientific resources. Advances expected include:

• New digital library services allowing content and knowledge to be produced, stored, managed, personalised, transmitted, preserved and used reliably, efficiently and at low cost;
• Digital preservation services addressing the needs of memory institutions and more generally of businesses, public bodies, government services who have responsibilities for keeping digital records accessible.
• New management and production tools making digital resources easier and more cost- effective to create and reuse;
• More creative approaches to content and knowledge, enabling creators to design more participative and communicative media and increase the productivity of publishers;
• Enabling the mass-individualization of learning experiences, through systems allowing faster acquisition of competences and skills, increased knowledge worker productivity, and more efficient organisational learning processes.
