Scenario 2.1.
Researcher discovers a historical database

Scenario 2.2.
Research and select a tool serving a specific purpose
A university lecturer in art history wants to use a collection of digitised art images made 15 years ago. They are stored in a format he is not familiar with. Since there are about 200 images, the researcher is looking for tools which would convert them into a format he could easily use in batch mode. He is not sure how to identify a tool or a service which could do this.
Scenario 2.3.
Accessing digitised content from schools
Secondary school students are making an assignment looking at historical maps of their village. They already paid a visit to the local museum but discovered some old digitised maps on the internet.
