Data Sans Frontières: web portals and the historic environment
25 May 2007: The British Museum, London
Organised by the Historic Environment Information Resources Network and supported by the AHRC ICT Methods Network and The British Museum, this one-day conference takes a comprehensive look at exciting new opportunities for disseminating and integrating historic environment data using portal technologies and Web 2.0 approaches. Bringing together speakers from national organisations, national and local government and academia, options for cooperation at both national and international levels will be explored.
Our aims in organising the conference are as follows:
- To raise awareness of current developments in the online dissemination of Historic Environment Data
- To set developments in the historic environment sector in a wider national and European information context
- To raise awareness of current portal and interoperability technologies
- To create a vision for a way forward for joined up UK historic environment information provision
All are welcome to attend. The cost will be £12. Please register and pay here at the CBA's online shop. There may be tickets available on the day, but space is limited so please register as soon as possible.
