DCH-RP Second Plenary Meeting in Venice  photo by Maciej Brzeźniak In the wonderful scenario of Venice, the Renaissance building of the Biblioteca Marciana hosted the Second Plenary Meeting of the DCH-RP project. DCH-RP (Digital Cultural Heritage Roadmap for Preservation) is a coordination action supported by EC FP7 e-Infrastructures Programme, launched last October to look at best practice for preservation standards in use.
It involves 13 partners from 8 different European countries and will move to external partners from Europe and other countries. DCH-RP is part of a wider process, which started 10 years ago among cultural institutions with the projects DC-NET and INDICATE, two pioneer projects in the DCH e-Infrastructures area which identified the implementation of a preservation infrastructure for DCH as the first priority in this sector.  photo by Maciej Brzeźniak The two-days discussion, held in a positive spirit of collaboration, covered both the impacts already achieved by previous projects and those foreseen in the future to be obtained by DCH-RP. To this regard, each CH partner has presented the situation in its respective country with a special focus on: 1. Amount of the investments committed by national authorities on the DCH e-infrastructure within national programmes and projects; 2. The influence obtained by the partner in the national programming, directly, or through other institutions; 3. The role of the partner in the national projects, directly, or through other institutions. The discussion, supported by partner's presentations, was very useful to provide a clear situation on the European DCH's sector. The references were focused on the real increase of investment for a DCH e-infrastructure, the concrete use of the existing e-infrastructures to activate innovative services that did not exist before, the implementations of new components of e- infrastructures. The meeting continued with the discussion on the project's activities, where each partner presented its achievements and plans for the next months.
