FP7 ICT Work Programme Challenge 4:
Digital Libraries and Content
In today's society, individuals and organizations are, on one hand, confronted with an ever growing load of information and content and, on the other, with increasing demands for knowledge and skills. To cope with this, we need to link content, knowledge and learning, making content and knowledge more accessible, interactive and usable over time by humans and machines alike.
Europe, with its unique cultural heritage and creative potential, is well placed to exploit this paradigm shift, becoming a key actor in the knowledge economy.
