Perhaps of interest to GLAM:
"DCMS has commissioned the present study to consider, from a technical
point of view, how
the Culture White Paper ambition to ‘access particular collections in depth
as well as search
across all collections’ might be realised.
'This project is a feasibility study, to develop and evaluate a practical
framework for
collecting relevant data in order to map cultural collections and consider
what
functionalities a tool based on this framework might possess given the
state of
existing technology. This project will provide the framework for carrying
out this
mapping exercise. It is not expected to produce the tool or mapping itself,
but help us
scope options for a technical solution.'"
