“Anyone in the world can now access over 14 million digitised books, maps, photographs, paintings, film and music clips from cultural institutions across Europe through Europe’s digital library Europeana. Launched in 2008 with two million objects, Europeana has already passed the initial target for 2010 of 10 million objects. Today, the Reflection Group (“Comite des Sages” -Maurice Levy, Elisabeth Niggemann, Jacques de Decker) set up by the Commission to explore new ways to bring Europe’s cultural heritage online is addressing the EU’s Council of Culture Ministers and the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture. The Comite des Sages’ report is due to be published at the beginning of 2011.”
