- 1. Strategies for a digital cultural heritage! LAC, Ottawa the 3rd of June 2016
- 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.
- 3. Digisam… …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. Speed up…
- 6. The Cultural Heritage is digitized, accessible and usable for everyone. A cost-effective infrastructure is in place. It supports a high quality digitization, use and preservation.

Editor's Notes
- Digisam and the National digital cultural heritage Presentation at the launching event _The Canadian national digitisation strategy _________________________________________________________ Summarising bullet points • The strength that comes from well written and managed strategies. • Share some thoughts and experiences from a European and especially Swedish perspective.
- • In 2011 the Swedish Government decided upon a Swedish national strategy for digitisation of our national common cultural heritage. • Covers the entire digitisation process. • Strong focus on the users, their participation and the possibilities to be creators and co-creators.
- • Digisam is a part of the strategy • A clear expression of the Governments wishes to make the strategy to an operative document. • The assignment is to work cross-domain with archives, libraries and museums. , • The target group is the state-funded Central heritage institutions, 24, but the goal is to be relevant for a broad range of institutions. • Why is the National Archives the mother agency of Digisam? • The long experience and role of stable handling of information. • Records and holdings are stored and preserved to be readable, understandable and usable over time. • Strength to be able to act by archival law and regulation, • To be fruitful and cost-effective in the digital world, thinking preservation is the key for usable and re-usable information today and tomorrow. Preservation is the mother of all use.
- • The Swedish national cultural policy is an essential building block for the national strategy for digitisation of our common cultural heritage. • Another is Europeana, the portal to European cultural heritage. • Today, instead of portal, we like to speak of Europeana as a multi-sided platform, with the ambition to curate the vast information (more than 50 million objects today) in thematic channels. • For the last decade Europeana has been a driving force and a catalyst for change and what you see today is the top of an iceberg of structures, processes and collaborative networks. • Collaboration is a key word. And true collaboration always leads to an increasing an amount of harmonisation
- • The overarching message in the Swedish strategy to institutions is to increase and speed up • But to be able to speed up there must be a supportive infrastructure in place.
- • In the national strategy, the government assigned the targeted state-funded archives, libraries and museums to set up plans for their digitisation. • Digisams role has been to coordinate the work with plans.
- One of the gaps Digisam identified was the missing links between the national strategies overarching vision and goals and the daily work. The first step to tackling this was to set up a set of guiding principals to help the institutions to take the right strategic decisions.
- • The principles are built upon a model of the digital life cycle, The highest aggregated conceptual terms in the life cycle are defined Govern, Produce, Use and Preserve. • Meetings with the management of the 24 central state-funded cultural heritage agencies and institutions, in the initial phase of Digisams work, showed a clear lack of a balanced approach to the digital life cycle. Most common was a strong focus on produce and use and a weak focus on govern and preservation.
- • The guiding principles are the backbone of the national guidelines for the managing of digital heritage information that Digisam has proposed. • Simplified the intention is to bridge the visions, goals and strategies with a set of documents that support the daily work. • Agility is a keyword for implementing and manage the model. To be sustainable, there must be a balance between top-down and bottom-up approaches
- • Digisam has ended its first period 2011-2015. • The assignment has been extended one year and we await an overarching culture heritage proposal that the government will launch in November this year and that after that will be decided upon in the parliament during the spring 2017. • Some success factors: o A clear assignment from the government o Long experience and strong networks brought into the work o The dialogue and involvement from the staff from the institutions in our working groups, network meetings and task forces. More than 150 individual experts have taken part in those. That has lead to engagement and willingness to implement commonly developed deliverables
- The focus now lies on a continued development of a flexible and scalable infrastructure. • Common solutions for storing and services and tools for preservation, structuring and harmonisation of data. • We build on existing solutions as much as possible. • Modular components.
- • Growing collaboration between the National Archives and the National Library around existing digitisation facilities. • Plans for mobile solutions. For example 3D-capture.
- • Legal issues. • Agreement based on extended collective licenses between Digisam and the copyright holders organisation (images). • Legal guidelines for publishing on the internet. • Creative Commons.
- • Solutions and strategies for interoperability.
- • We all have each others information. But we apply different formats, descriptive metadata and so on. • Linked open data and mapped ontologies are two of several keywords. If you for example take this map that is kept in a copy in an archive, a library and a museum, it is documented in different ways and standards.
- • Identify indicators to measure impact • Develop national statistics, harmonised with European and international frameworks
- • The need for collaboration cross-domain and cross-sectorial. • Strive for cost-effective collaborative solutions for storage, e-archiving and so on… • Once digitised or born digital, there is a great potential in collaboration on a broad societal base
- • …and never loose the end user out of sight.
