  2. So Far • We have: • Published 6 issues: Jul 2000 Oct 2000 Jan 2001 May 2001 Oct 2001 Feb 2002 [Jun 2002 Oct 2002 Jan 2002] • Issue average 125+ A4 pages when printed! • Each issue contains over 25 articles (feature articles, regular columns, news, competition, etc. • Cultivate Interactive: • Successful in providing a means for publishing information on digital cultural heritage • Complements the CULTIVATE project (forum for NFPs, uses the CULTIVATE visual identity, metadata for articles in Document Server, etc.)

  3. What It Offers • For Projects • Cultivate Interactive provides a dissemination mechanism for projects. It provides a high-quality look-and-feel and richly functional Web site which projects will benefit from • Cultivate Interactive is search engine friendly, making it easier to find information about your project (cf. Cultivate – no. 1 in Google!) • For CULTIVATE Colleagues • You will benefit from the advantages listed above • For Readers • Readers will benefit from the editing processes, attractive design, ease of finding articles, value-added services, etc. • For UKOLN • UKOLN is developing links with the partners, projects, the EC, etc. and having a test bed for its research interest

  4. Innovations and Dissemination • UKOLN’s expertise in metadata inform our approaches to metadata management and resource discovery in Cultivate Interactive • We also use Cultivate Interactive in our dissemination (e.g. workshops and conference presentations) e.g. see <http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/conferences/ili-2001/workshop/>

  5. Our Challenges • Challenges we face: • Writing Quality:We have very limited resources for proofreading. In order to maintain Cultivate Interactive’s high-standing we reserve the rights to ‘spike’ articles. You can help by ensuring articles are checked before submission (by native English speaker if possible) • Appropriate Articles:We do not want to publish press releases. • Timing:Please submit articles on (or preferably before!) the submission deadline.

  6. Next Steps • New editor: • Marieke Napier has moved on to other project work • Richard Waller (r.waller@ukoln.ac.uk) is editor for remaining issues • Cultivate Interactive and you: • You can help by: • Offering to write (Node column or general article) • Finding people to write • Promoting Cultivate Interactivewhen it’s released (Web pages, email, etc.) • This will also be of benefit to you, your organisation and your community
