Minerva Plus Workshop Sarah Faraud,
Languages of France • http://www.languesdefrance.com/ • The biggest linguistic diversity in Europe • 15 regional languages plus 4 créoles, languages of Guyanna, Oceania, Oil, Mayotte • Mapping languages of France
Promoting cultural diversity • Affirmative action to promote the use andlearning of regional languages • School programs, TV shows, Newspapers... • Institutions think more and more locally • Need to get closer to the people's needs • Adding value to French linguistic diversity • Law concerning the use of English
The survey • Difficulties in getting people's attention • 22 websites presenting digitized or not cultural content • Mostly from the Mission recherche et technologie • Websites of acclaimed quality • No small institution answered • Lack of thesauri, few answers by leading projects
Best practices • Thesaurus on architecture contains 1135 terms • French, English, Italian • NARCISSE • Network of Art Research Computer Image SystemS in Europe. • Painting, drawing, enluminures • More than 2000 terms in 11 languages
Best practices at European level • MACS • Multilingual search made possible thanks to the equivalence links between SWD (for German), RAMEAU (for French) and LCSH (for English). • HEREIN • Terminological standard for national policies dealing with architectural and archaeological heritage • MALVINE • offers new and enhanced access to holdings of post-medieval manuscripts and letters, kept and catalogued in European libraries, archives, documentation centres and museums
Conclusions • Lack of involvement in the survey • But many projects ongoing • Need for a tool gathering best practices in the field at European level
