Organizational aspects of ICT applications in cultural heritage “Virtual Museum” context: the permanent challenge of reconciliation of diverging scientific, technical, operational and financial objectives

Abstract

[EN] The applications of ICT in the cultural heritage field are including a new expanding category of applications, having a “creative” character, and a multidisciplinary approach. Motivations and priorities of involved players (individuals and organizational players), are presented, through various FHW paradigm projects, in order to explore the possible impact of this kind of projects in science and cultural heritage concept, as well as to explore their hidden added value, that makes them capable to attract resources.[ES] Las aplicaciones de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación en el patrimonio cultural comprenden una nueva categoria de acciones, con un caracter creativo, y un concepto multidisciplinario. Este trabajo sirve para presentar las motivaciones y prioridades de los actores involucrados (individuos o instituciones), que participan en estos proyectos, para examinar en base a estos las posibles consecuencias de estos proyectos en el concepto mismo de ciencia y patrimonio cultural, al mismo tiempo que se explora también su oculto valor añadido, valor este que les puede permitir atraer nuevos recursos.Giannoulis-Giannoulopoulos, G.
