In 2013, the DigCurV collaborative network completed development of a Curriculum Framework for digital curation skills in the European cultural heritage sector. DigCurV synthesised a variety of established skills and competence models in the digital curation and LIS sectors with expertise from digital curation professionals, in order to develop a new Curriculum Framework. The resulting Framework provides a common language and helps define the skills, knowledge and abilities that are necessary for the development of digital curation training; for benchmarking existing programmes; and for promoting the continuing production, improvement and refinement of digital curation training programmes. This paper describes the salient points of this work, including how the project team conducted the research necessary to develop the Framework, the structure of the Framework, the processes used to validate the Framework, and three ‘lenses’ onto the Framework. The paper also provides suggestions as to how the Framework might be used, including a description of potential audiences and purposes.

Artists have long engaged with digital and networked technologies in critical and creative ways to explore both new art forms and novel ways of disseminating artworks. Net-based artworks are often created with the intent to circulate outside traditional institutional spaces, and many are shared via artist-run platforms that involve curatorial practices distinct from those of museums or commercial galleries. This article focuses on a particular artist-run platform called Paper-Thin, characterizing the activities involved in managing the platform as digital curation in a polysemous sense – as both the curation of digital artworks and the stewardship of digital information in a complex technological ecosystem. While scholars and cultural heritage professionals have developed innovative preservation strategies for digital and new media artworks housed in institutional collections, the ongoing care of artworks shared through networked alternative spaces is largely carried out co-operatively by the artists and curators of these platforms. Drawing on Howard Becker’s sociological theory of art worlds as networks of co-operative actors, this article describes the patterns of co-operative work involved in creating, exhibiting, and then caring for Net-based art. The article outlines the importance, for cultural heritage professionals, of understanding the digital-curation practices of artists, as these artist-run networked platforms demonstrate emergent approaches to the stewardship of digital culture that move beyond a custodial paradigm.

Andres Bello

Summary Andrés Bello (1781–1865) is the most important Spanish grammarian of the 19th century. In his work, he attempts to apply a scientific objectivity, free from any dogmatism, to the study of language and social reality with a view to improving man and his community: Social progress, and not simply individual progress, is one of the driving ideas of his work. In linguistics, the source of his inspiration was general grammar, both synchronic and pedagogical. His work reaches its crowning in his Grammar of the Castillian Language for the use of Spanish-Americans of 1847. In his conception, it is the goal of norms and of the respect of usage that they determine to continually remind the community of speakers of a particular behaviour in order to avoid the bad consequences of a cultural and linguistic disruption. It is in the light of earlier considerations that Andrés Bello brings to bear all his concern for the preservation of the Spanish cultural heritage, in particular the common language as an instrument of communication and integration, and as the repository capitalizing on the cultural language. In this way, he appears to us, apart from his eminent position of renewer of the study of Spanish grammar, as the initiator of the immense task which consists of the development of a socio-cultural and linguistic variant within the Spanish unity. He thus contributed, in a decisive manner, to the formation of an Spanish-American man who is conscious of his tradition and his historical place in the world.

The concept of urban heritage value in the mind of the humankind is relatively new. Protection of urban heritage objects started at the latest in the development of the global tangible objects of immovable cultural heritage. Protection of these objects has been developing as an opposition to dominating urbanisation processes. The article briefly reviews evolution of the notion and object of cultural heritage in documents of international organisations in the 20th and 21st centuries and looks into when this notion expands to encompass urban compositions. It analyses the solid scientific framework of the Lithuanian urban heritage research upon which the interpretation and legalisation was founded. The article discuses the present-day legal framework of urban heritage management, pointing out its drawbacks. It seeks to identify why scientists and lawyers, as well as members of government and the public fail to find a common language on issues of urban heritage management.

RESUMO O Sistema Nacional de Informações e Indicadores Cultural (SNIIC) é uma plataforma convergente e colaborativa que reúne objetos e recursos digitais, com o objetivo de agregar em uma única base de dados informações referentes à cultura e possibilitar o monitoramento das metas e implementação do Sistema Nacional de Cultura (SNC). O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre a atualização dos conceitos de memória em suas instâncias individual, coletiva e, finalmente, digital considerando:(a) quais as possibilidades que a plataforma digital SNIIC pode oferecer para a promover de discursos plurais, dar voz e visibilidade à diversidade cultural; e (b) qual o seu papel na construção, preservação e disseminação da memória coletiva e do patrimônio cultural. A metodologia da pesquisa qualifica-se por sua natureza bibliográfica, descritiva e exploratória, concentrando-se na abordagem temática da ciência da informação acerca da web colaborativa e seus reflexos para a cultura e memória sociais. Muitos desafios e questionamentos surgem a respeito da participação e colaboração do usuário, assim como dos novos fluxos informacionais por meio de aplicações web, da preservação dos inúmeros registros de atividades e patrimônios culturais, para que sirvam de subsídios na composição da memória individual e social brasileira. Resta-nos conhecer, fazer uso efetivo e disseminar a existência da plataforma cultural, enfatizando sua importância e funcionalidades, estimulando a participação das pessoas a atuarem na construção coletiva da cultura, por meio da apropriação social da informação cultural e mediante as múltiplas formas de interação daí surgidas.Palavras-chave: Memória na Internet; Cultura; Informação e Tecnologia; WebColaborativa; Plataforma Digital.ABSTRACT The Brazilian National System of Cultural Information and Indicators (Sistema Nacional de Informações e Indicadores Cultural - SNIIC) is a convergent and collaborative platform which  unites digital resources meant to aggregate in one single data base the information regarding cultural matters in order to monitor the System's goals and implementation. The aim of this article is to reflect on the concept of memory in its individual, collective and digital instances considering (a) the means that the SNIIC digital platform can offer to promote plural speech, to give voice and visibility to cultural diversity and (b) the role it plays in the construction, preservation and dissemination of memory and cultural heritage. The research methodology used is bibliographic, descriptive and exploratory, concentrating on the thematic approach of Information Science regarding the collaborative web and its effects on culture and social memory. Many challenges and issues regarding individual participation and collaboration arise, as well as on new information flows and preservation of the numerous records of activities and cultural heritage in order to subsidise the construction of individual and social Brazilian memory. It is important to explore, to use effectively, and to publicize the existence of the cultural platform, highlighting its importance and functionalities, stimulating people's participation in the collective building of culture through social appropriation of the cultural information in multiple interaction forms.Keywords: Memory on the Internet; Culture; Information and Technology; Collaborative Web; Digital Platform.

In Slovenia, teachers of the school subject visual arts (implemented at the primary level by primary school teachers and at secondary level by fine visual arts teachers) play a significant role in planning and implementing visual arts tasks with preservation concepts. With these activities, they can raise awareness of cultural heritage meaning, strengthening the nation’s cultural identity. Pupils should develop into active and responsible citizens who are able to understand heritage problems in general and express their sensitivity and respect for their cultural heritage and its preservation. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the teachers’ preconceptions about the preservation of architecture in the Slovenian countryside and the implementation of heritage preservation concepts in visual arts teaching. Altogether, 125 teachers from Slovenia participated in this study. The research revealed the teachers’ preconceptions regarding some problems in the Slovenian countryside, as well as sufficient awareness of the importance of the implementation in heritage preservation concepts in visual arts activities, according to contemporary professional guidelines. Teachers’ preconceptions reveal a lack of some basic knowledge of preservation concepts, which lead us to compare the results with the current guidelines. It can be concluded that greater emphasis should be placed on developing training programmes for teachers with specific preservation concepts and didactic materials for students in the field of preservation education with the aim of developing the students’ positive and responsible attitudes to those problems. More heritage preservation education content should be incorporated into pre- and in-service teachers’ education, and teachers should develop competences to implement these topics into their teaching.

MESSAGE (Mobile Environmental Sensing System Across Grid Environments) was an ambitious, multi-partner, interdisciplinary e-Science research project, jointly funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the UK Department for Transport (DfT) between 2006 and 2009. It aimed to develop and demonstrate the potential of diverse, low cost sensors to provide heterogeneous data for the planning, management and control of the environmental impacts of transport activity at urban, regional and national level. During the last year of the project, the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) interviewed and observed members of the project team in order to identify and analyse key aspects of their data-related activities, recording attitudes towards the data that they create and/or re-use. This paper describes the major issues identified over the course of the case study, which are presented in parallel with the perspectives of the project team in order to demonstrate the multiplicity of views that may be projected onto a single dataset. It concludes with a contextualisation of the case study's themes with those of a number of contemporary reports.
