How to participate?
The consultation starts with a online questionnaire, followed by a workshop, the establishment of focus groups and targeted interviews to ensure an inclusive and comprehensive approach.
The questionnaire seeks to identify the various heritage professionals and researchers and to question how they use digital tools in their daily work. It is based on methodologies adopted in the past by established initiatives such as ESPADON, E-RIHS, ARIADNE RI, CLARIN and PERCEIVE.
Who can contribute?
The consultation is open toall stakeholders interested in cultural heritage, including practitioners, researchers, computer scientists/developers, organisations and institutions with an interest in the development and application of the Cultural Heritage Cloud.
