bridges vol. 22, July 2009 / Noteworthy Information Comprehensive access to digitized cultural heritage is a central requirement for future strategies of the information society. Particularly in scientific research, an overall access to digital collections and their metadata of museums, libraries, and archives brings about new opportunities for research and makes it possible to analyze unforeseen relations between objects or whole collections.  As a central access point, the Kulturpool provides a search service for the digital Austrian cultural heritage together with Web 2.0 functionalities. The Kulturpool is developed and implemented by uma information technology on behalf of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture and the Federal Ministry of Science and Research. The portal is based on uma's semantic search platform Melvil©. The initiative supports various national and European strategies and certainly encourages a closer relationship between culture and education.Access to the full article is free, but requires you to register.
