Towards Digital Cultural Heritage with a Purpose

Digitisation is still a big theme in the heritage sector, with many basic challenges present in the daily operations of CHIs. CHIs need a clear shift towards a more qualitative approach in digitisation, leading to introducing digitisation for reuse, based on FAIR principles, prioritising collections open for reuse. Furthermore, digitisation should also become an inclusive process, engaging communities and external partners from outside of the CH domain in the digitisation policy, introducing a bottom-up approach towards digitisation, making sure that the potential re-use of digitised collections is relevant to a wider group of stakeholders.
