there is a pressing need to establish a roadmap proposing solutions, agreements
and policies, that ensure long term access and trustworthy preservation. This
roadmap should address issues like open government, open data, open access and

• Digital culture is part of culture. Institutions should start from

• Attitudes cultural heritage institutions should acquire:
• Digital literacy
• Demonstrate social value
• Strenghten tradional tasks by means of digital technology
• Transparancy
• Active attitude towards continous innovation
21. • The policy level needs to facilitate, support and monitor the
implementation of these attitudes
• Provide modular solutions : the concept of ‘polycentricity’ for
•
•
•
sustainable preservation and accessibility (VIAA – PACKED – … individual institutions)
Stimulate good practices
Stimulate and provide an assessment framework with the Cultural
Heritage Decree
Create a conceptual framework to define the public task of cultural
heritage organisations

•
How could digitisation facilitate this?
•
Why should a government invest in (digital) cultural heritage? What
should a public task consist of?
