| Keywords |
The ARCO project will analyse and provide innovative but simple to use technical solutions for virtual cultural object creation using Image Based Modelling through Photogrammetry, manipulation of cultural objects through Interactive Model Refinement and Rendering, management of these objects (virtual representations) through an XML driven Cultural Object Relational Database, and presentation technology based on an Augmented Reality Interface or Web Browser, all developed in this project. All system components will be integrated through XML providing data exchange and interoperability. The project will demonstrate its results through a series of prototype system components leading to a final integration system for evaluation both technically and socio-economically. We will address user (museum researcher and public) requirements, by involving them through the Museum Curatorial Steering Group. In this way, we will focus on serving the end-user. |

Books2y!
| Keywords | The interlibrary loan system of books is one of the central services of national, university, and research libraries throughout Europe. Millions of volumes are shipped every year. Nevertheless, the interlibrary lending of books is a time-consuming, ineffective and expensive activity: The book has to be shipped from the lending library to the borrowing library and back again just to satisfy the request of one single user. In contrast to that, our books2u! project will set up a new service that will invest the time and money presently used for shipping into scanning and digitally reformatting the requested book. The user will thus be able to view the page images on a web site. |

It is based on the assumption that in libraries, archives and museums an enormous number of descriptions could be made available over the Internet by converting existing records or by creating new ones to specific SGML/XML DTDs. |

An inventory system for these resources will be developed for timely replacement of over-aged data carriers, monitoring and planning of distribution, recovery strategies from losses and as index for conservators. An integrated, interactive, dynamic electronic handbook will convey the complex knowledge to use these imaging techniques for conservation planning and ensure the utility of the marketable results of the projects results. |
