This event is a unique and non replicable occasion to collect an enormous set of numeric materials gatherred in parallel with the normal exhibition process. Museums and Instiutions will exchange and shared materials under the control of standard conditions for worldwide exhibitions. The event's coordinator is the WL Museum in Münster Germany. Various events and celebrations are already scheduled in most of the involved European states. A consortium of 4 Partners (3 member states: DE, NL, FR) is set up for this definition phase.

Standards for digitization, and electronic acquisition conditions will be made. * design and prototype of a database system for cooperatively shared collection of numeric data: image exchange, digitization quality assessment, standards * cooperative authoring method in several European languages will be defined * navigation user interface scenarios for pure end users or for professional readers will be defined, draft of a scenario for the exhibition's CD-ROM * methodology for rapid transformation of information and numeric data in the central repository, and their use and integration within end-user products such as a CD-ROM * IPR rapid clearance management for integration in several issued products * partner's contract, joint publishing contract, and working conditions for additional partners of the implementation phase, or any other's. Large unique events, several cross borders organizations, with time constraints limitations represents an enormous interest for cultural heritage gathering on numerical form. Their management and the exploitation of results requires specific organization and tools to capture the benefits of such synergetic energy.
