AthenaPlus creative tools presented at the 2nd Annual Conference of the International Council on Archives in Girona

2014-10-21

AthenaPlus was presented at the Archives & Cultural Industries Conference - ICA – in Girona that took place from October 11-15, 2014. The Conference focused on the discussion of issues related to new tasks and challenges of cultural heritage institutions. These three perspectives were examined critically:

  • The perspective of content: How should collections of documents be organized, described, digitized and disseminated to facilitate access and enhance their value?
  • The perspective of cultural industries: What are the new businesses dealing with the creation and distribution of digital content and how can collaboration between the public and private sectors be articulated to advance business creation?
  • The perspective of the general population: What are its interests and cultural consumption habits, and what future trends may arise?

In the frame of the Conference two workshops on MOVIO were organized in order to inform other cultural heritage institutions and archives about the unique possibilities the MOVIO tool offers. Moreover, a paper about MOVIO was published and is now available for download under the following link: girona.cat
