  1. Objectives and Progress (D15)

  2. Project Summary • The REGNET Project which ran for 2 years delivered a system which provides a service infrastructure (technical & legal framework) to service centres supporting cultural institutions and industries. • The project was divided into two phases: development and demonstration and • brought together two groups of partners, content providers (representatives of libraries, museums and archives) and developers (research organisations, industries and SMEs) • altogether 23 partners and 2 subcontractors from 12 countries. REGNET Final Project Review

  3. PROJECT PHASES & WORK AREAS Phase 1: Analysis und Development Work Area Acontains: Content Creation and Content Management Work Area B contains: Platform Engineering (integration of middle ware components) and the development of the REGNETSystem Work Area C contains: Business Engineering (business processes, definition of work flows, distribution system...) and the development of a legal framework REGNET Final Project Review

  4. PROJECT PHASES & WORK AREAS Phase 2 : Test and Demonstration Work Area D contains: domain-specific aspects of the REGNET System Work Area E contains: Demonstration phase,Verification and Evaluation of the REGNET System REGNET Final Project Review

  5. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-1: Analysis of the State of the Art and Development of Concepts • Definition of content to be provided, development of a documentation and digitisation plan for content creation and management (Work Area A). D1: Content Creation and Content Management • Identification of standards to be used, development of the user requirements and system requirements & specifications (Work Area B).

  6. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-2: Implementation of the System and Preparation of Services and Product Generation • Preparation of content and products (Work Area A). D4: Available Content and ProductsSystem implementation; development of the building blocks; integration into the REGNET-System (Work Area B). D5: REGNET-System: Version-1 • Settlement of the legal framework, business process (re-) engineering, market preparation (Work Area C). D6: System Services and Business Processes REGNET Final Project Review

  7. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-3: Validation of the REGNET-Demonstrator and Preparation of the Demonstration Phase Validation of the REGNET-demonstrator; preparation of the demonstration phase. (Work Area A,B,C) D7: Validation of the REGNET System operation & Preparation of the REGNET - Demonstration Phase D8: The REGNET-System: Version-2 REGNET Final Project Review

  8. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-4: Demonstration • The REGNET-System will be used in a trial services which includes an initial testing phase (selected users). The REGNET-demonstration part of the project includes: execution of the demonstration phase (trial service); refinement of system and services where appropriate and necessary; analysis of the trial service. (Work Area D,E) • D9: REGNET System operation • D10: Demonstration (Trial Service) • D11: REGNET trial service and recommendations REGNET Final Project Review

  9. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-5: Development of an exploitation plan Development of an exploitation plan on different levels (content providers, service providers, business access points). The plan has to include new models of co-operations and partnerships. D12: Technology Implementation Plan • WP-6: Information Dissemination Information dissemination will be done using different types of dissemination channels: Project WEB-Site, conferences, seminars, printed and electronic publications. Special attention will be drawn to the participation of project members in relevant standardisation committees and workshops. D13: Information Dissemination Activities REGNET Final Project Review

  10. Work Packages & Deliverables • WP-7: Project Management • This work package includes management, reporting, quality assurance, etc. The management activities are split up into contractual and technical matters and are covered by two different partners. • D14: REGNET - Quality Assurance System • D15: Final Report • D16: Project Presentation (WEB Presence) • D17: Project Presentation (Fact Sheet) REGNET Final Project Review

  15. Rev2 – Follow-Up (1/3) • Green light – 2nd Review 4 July 2002 • Criticism: • It was recommended to better coordinate the future clustering developments with OpenHeritage. • Solution: • This has been done from the sight of REGNET with a concerted final report and cluster meeting at Toulouse. Finally the two projects have organized a joint presentation and paper at EVA03 Florence. AIT took over part of the development for the data entry tool which was initially fully dedicated to SPACE. The contribution of SPACE included the Index+ Gateway. REGNET Final Project Review

  16. Rev2 – Follow-Up (2/3) • Criticism on Task 2.5 Market Preparation • The indications of the 2nd review report have been recognized in the release of the final version of the Deliverable 6 – Market Preparation which describes: The trends in cultural heritage, ·quantitative analysis of the target groups, ·qualitative analysis of the target groups, ·the range of services provided by REGNET, ·Best-Practice-Analysis on the cultural heritage market, ·Strategic market analysis, ·Generic marketing strategies, ·Case studies for market introduction, ·Overview on planned Cultural Service Centers. REGNET Final Project Review

  17. Rev2 – Follow-Up (3/3) • Specific pricing strategies are at the moment worked out by the REGNET cultural service centres based on the feedback of the national testbeds that have been carried out or are still under way in the different partner states. • The partner TINC has stopped to be involved actively in the project. IMAC has taken over the responsibility for the Market Preparation Task. A reallocation of manpower based on this shift has been carried out. • The access to the REGNET-WEB services via mobile devices via de facto standard protocols (WAP) has been implemented on a first trial version but had been dropped from the list of objectives due to the delay of the UMTS-services publicly available. REGNET Final Project Review

  18. SUMMING UPResults  The REGNET-Development activities have been executed within work packages 1 and 2 and delivered useable results for setting up a the “Service-Layer” within the overall concept. The content engineering activities delivered not only valuable content held at the REGNET-content providers sites ( museums, libraries, archives) but also a workable concept for relevant data structures based on XML-technologies.  REGNET Final Project Review

  19. SUMMING UPResults  The platform engineering delivered a state of the art concept and implementation how to set up a technical infrastructure to interconnect different platforms and WEB-based services (SOAP, WEB-Services, etc); test samples of some REGNET-data bases can be accesses via the OAI-Harvesting Protocol The business (cross enterprise) engineering delivered a workable framework for cooperation on the global market and a European Economic Interest Group (“Cultural Service Centres – Europe EEIG”) and extensive definition of relevant business processes in the cultural domain  REGNET Final Project Review

  20. SUMMING UPResults The Integration of external components and partnerships has been investigated by a potential future cooperation possibility in the publishing area: data from the REGNET-data stores have been rearranged by an US-located publisher producing a WEB-Catalogue of images which also can be published in PDF-Format. All REGNET activities delivered such promising and valuable results that it was already during the project life time possible to act on the “global market place”; for example the CULTIVATE-Services offered during the demonstration phase brought in several external partners and feedback from real business operations.   REGNET Final Project Review

  21. SUMMING UPResults The REGNET system offers now a common service-portal to different services like data entry, search and retrieval, and e-business and different regional service portals which are targeted to the clientel of the Cultural Service Centres (CSCs). Networked Regional Cultural Service Centres REGNET Final Project Review

  22. SUMMING UPResults • Future activities will be offered by the CSC-Europe-EEIG as organisational and technical framework for new project operations as well as for regular business activities. • For example contacts have already been made with RLG (Research Libraries Group, USA) regarding future cooperation or with the just evolving DLM-Network EEIG to cooperate within projects in the European Research Area.
