The
European Cultural Heritage Network (ECHNetwork)
is an international content management and information
platform to connect researchers and scientists with
students and professionals in the field of art conservation
and cultural heritage to share and exchange knowledge
and technologie on a highly scientific and international
level.
Through
simple steps project partners can handle uploads and
downloads of pictures and diagramms, tables and textfiles
to the ECHNetwork server and exchange
information with their colleaques and research partners
on a national and international level.
Research
partners hold maximum control of
their data. They can define priveliged groups and
members of their project and lock sensitive data away
from public.
The platform turns into a secure wide area
network and the project partners create
a virtual hard drive on the internet to store
their documents and results.
Due
to the conflation of ongoing research
work on an european level, the ePublication
of results and milestones of various research projects
and the connection with online databases the ECHNetwork
can be intensively searched for cultural and scientific
information by professionals and students aswell as
the interested public.
Using
the ECHNetwork you can follow research
projects and discuss their results. Search online
through databases and ePublications
and get in contact with scientists or authors if you
wish.
As
the ECHNetwork is being used by scientists
as a content management platform
and used by students and professionals as a source
for research, the ECHNetwork interlocks both
groups and offers a broader perspective on our cultural
heritage.
