A Coordinated Digital Cultural Heritage
– Principles for the Common Work

2. The national strategy for digitisation,
digital access and digital preservation
• The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital
preservation was established by the Swedish Government on
21 December 2011.
• The aim of the strategy is to regulate the work for the
government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve
and make cultural heritage information available for the end
users.
• The strategy covers the whole range of digitisation issues,
from selection to the preservation and use. The focus is on the
opportunities digitisation offers for use, reuse and creativity,
and what is necessary for this to be possible.

…is a part of the strategy
The main task is to coordinate the work with national
digital strategy within the timeframe 2012-2015
– Node for knowledge and competence
– Present recommendations for coordinated digital information
management of collections and holdings.
– Develop proposals for cost-effective long-term digital
preservation of collections and holdings.
– Define roles and responsibilities for the work on aggregation,
access and preservation of digital cultural heritage information.

5. 24 central agencies and institutions,
responsible for different perspectives of the
cultural heritage, are targeted by the strategy

6. …scalable solutions in the benefit for the
cultural heritage sector as a whole.

7. Plans for digitisation
In the national strategy it is decided that
all government agencies and institutions
covered by the strategy will deliver plans
for digitising and making available their
archives, collections and libraries.
Plans will include selection criteria
priorities, and the volume of digitised
material to be presented.

19. The regional archives
There are 7 regional archives within the
organisation of the National Archives.
Proposed roles:
• Connectors between the national
infrastructure and the regional and local
institutions
• Nodes for advice and support

20. Principles for pointing out the
direction and bridging the gap
Built upon The Open Group Architecture
Framework (TOGAF) a framework for enterprise
architecture

21. Statement
Succinctly and unambiguously communicate the fundamental
rule.
Desciption
Motive
highlight the business benefits of adhering to the principle,
Implications (Consequenses)
highlight the requirements, for carrying out the principle
How does this affect me?

22. …leads to a chain of consequensenses

23. Principle
Digital files and metadata should be as easy
as possible for others to use and reuse

24. Description
The Institution strive to make files and
metadata easy to find and use. The digital
objects are clear copyright
licensed/marked

25. Motive
The value is in the use
Making the result of digitisation easy to use and
re use for as many as possible create maximum
benefit for society as a whole
By clarifying the rights and use of open licenses
the Institution contributes to knowledge building,
sharing and creation of new values.

26. Consequenses
• Rights Labelling has to be made in a machine-readable
way .
• In unclear cases ( orphan works ) the Institution has to
weigh the consequences of possible violation of an
individual's rights against the broad public interest in an
open licensing.
• The Institution needs to establish an easy reachable
point of contact for those who have opinions and
establish routines for eventual needs for hiding or
unpublish digitised material

27. Controlled and effective workflows
for production, preservation, acess
and use
