Mission Statement

http://bulgariana.eu is an upcoming Bulgarian aggregator to Europeana that will include:

A public website for sharing information
A wiki (Confluence) for discussion, technical materials, coordination and collaboration
A digital repository (DSpace) for storing and presenting digitized cultural heritage
Conversion/ingestion tools for converting objects to the required Europeana formats (ESE and in the future EDM)
An OAI-PMH endpoint for serving content to Europeana
Semantic search using OWLIM (in the future)

The mission of the Bulgariana initiative includes the following goals:

improve communication between Bulgarian organizations working in the cultural heritage domain
- Please join the Google group Cultural Heritage Digitalisation
improve technical and organizational collaboration
share information about funding possibilities and calls
work together on proposals and projects
concentrate and focus the efforts of the Bulgarian cultural heritage community
provide a default platform for IT research related to cultural heritage, and an opportunity for small museums and other institutions to host their collections

Why English?

If this is about Bulgarian heritage, why these pages are in English?
The reason is that in this way we hope to attract external partners more easily

The present contributors to Bulgariana are:

Initial funding	Korean-Bulgarian IT Cooperation Center
Initiated by	Ontotext
Repository implementation	Sirma Media

We are always open for collaboration with other partners. There are many ways in which you can contribute:
