1. CULTIVATE-EU IST-1999-11133
CULTIVATE is a 36 month accompanying dissemination and awareness
measure from February 2000 with two parts, one covering Western
Europe (CULIVATE-EU) and the other (CULTIVATE-CEE) the ten accession
countries in Central and Eastern Europe. CULTIVATE-EU will establish
a European Cultural Heritage Network consisting of 15 partners based
in 12 European countries. It will continue the successful and fruitful
work carried out by the National Focal Points for the Telematics
for Libraries Programme under the Third and Fourth Framework Programmes
and will expand it to all memory institutions, namely archives,
museums and galleries.
The network intends:
To raise the awareness of the IST Programme for the development
and the use of cultural heritage applications in all memory institutions
in Europe.
To enhance the quantity and quality of submitted proposals under
the IST programme by various means like electronic information
services, information days and individual advice for proposes.
To link European institutions with national administrative bodies
and professional organisations and institutions in order to link
European activities and directives to its citizens.

2. E-CULTURE (A NEWSLETTER ON CULTURAL CONTENT
AND DIGITAL HERITAGE)
The Information Society Technologies (IST) programme started in
1998. This coincided with an internal reorganisation that created
a unit entitled "Cultural Heritage Applications". The acronym is
INFSO/D2. This newsletter has been launched in-house to inform people
about our work, the projects funded, results obtained, and events
being organised.

4. SCHEMAS IST-1999-10010 (FORUM FOR METADATA
SCHEMA IMPLEMENTERS)
SCHEMAS is a 24 month training measure from January 2000 to December
2001 under the Accompanying Measures for Key Action III - Multimedia
Content and Tools - of the IST Programme. SCHEMAS aims to develop
a knowledge base and training materials for the design of metadata
schemas and to promote international consensus-building in standards
development. SCHEMAS provides a forum for metadata schema designers
involved in projects under the IST Programme and national initiatives
in Europe. SCHEMAS will inform schema implementers about the status
and proper use of new and emerging metadata standards. The project
will support development of good-practice guidelines for the use
of standards in local implementations. It will investigate how metadata
registries can support these aims.
Metadata Watch provides quarterly reports from May 2000 giving an
overview of metadata activity in a wide range of sectors.
