Objective Europe's digital cultural heritage content has tremendous exploitation potential in applications such as Education, Publishing, e-Commerce, Public Access and Tourism. Value is hugely amplified if the content can be aggregated, repurposed and distributed at a European level. However, the current market for cultural heritage content is highly fragmented and typically constrained by national boundaries and language barriers. The diversity of content types, locations, languages, semantics, and existing services (if any) for commercial access makes aggregation and cross-border exploitation a major business and technical challenge.In this context eCHASE seeks to demonstrate that public-private partnerships between content holders and commercial service providers can create new services and a sustainable business based on access and exploitation of digital cultural heritage content at a European level.
