A special issue of International Journal of Digital Culture and Electronic Tourism
In the digital world of the knowledge society, the development of infrastructures for the provision of access to cultural content and the prevention of cultural heritage requires a multifold analysis of social, business, and technological factors. In the context of the knowledge society, the key inquiry is to go beyond the traditional barriers for the open and equal access to cultural content and to integrate cultural content with learning and education.
In a global perspective, the new capacities of emerging technologies, such as pervasive and ubiquitous computing, semantic knowledge portals, broadband and satellite networks, Web 2.0 and semantic web, and open source software, set new challenges, define new horizons for human creativity and connectivity. Our strategic fit is that culture requires an integrated approach emphasising content, context and multiple, dynamic views of interactions.
This special issue focuses on digital culture as a domain where multiple and diverse scientific areas interact, new ideas of human creativity are applied and new services demonstrate the capacities of new technologies to define new digital ways of cultural content provision.
