NINCH "GUIDE TO GOOD PRACTICE" PROJECT SEEKS NOMINATIONS
http://www.hatii.arts.gla.ac.uk/ninch-hatiigoodpractice/ninch_web_survey.htm
As readers will know from the October 3 NINCH Announcement
<http://www.ninch.org/PROJECTS/practice/press.html>, the National
Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage is producing a Guide to
Good Practice in the Digital Representation and Management of
Cultural Heritage Materials.
The Humanities Advanced Technology & Information Institute (HATII) of Glasgow University was selected by the NINCH Best Practices Working Group to conduct a survey of current practice in the cultural heritage sector and write the Guide, in close co-operation with the NINCH Working Group.
HATII has now completed an initial survey of ten sites and, learning
from the experience of conducting these intensive interviews, the
Glasgow-based team is now engaged upon an extensive (though not
comprehensive) survey of exemplary sites in the US and abroad by
means of face-to-face and telephone interviews as well as via a
web-page.
You are invited to nominate a production site (or project) you
believe is exemplary according to the evaluative criteria developed
by the NINCH Working Group (or indeed, by your own)--see
<http://www.ninch.org/PROJECTS/practice/criteria-1.html>.
Please join us in making this as thorough a survey as we need to
produce the Guide.
Many Thanks,
David Green,
for the Working Group on Best Practice,
