An Introduction i Foreword In just three decades, the internet has evolved from an experimental tool for researchers to a pervasive, omnipresent backbone for society and the economy.
All of the most innovative ideas, from Skype to Wikipedia, from online cartography to app stores, had a very quick, viral spreading.
The objective was to explore new solutions at the confluence of social networks, knowledge networks and networks of things.

'The Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation (CAPS) are ICT systems leveraging the emerging"network effect"by combining open online social media,
as it segregates internet users into small-scale groups that share professional and leisure interests. The understanding and transparency of filtering mechanisms is probably the core element of awareness in CAPS initiatives.
Web platforms are the locus on which the CAPS projects focus on enabling the dynamics of collective awareness construction.

and engagement analytics and visualisations for evaluating different facets of participative engagement in social innovation initiatives (CAPS4ACCESS, CATALYST, DECARBONET, IA4SI, WEB-COSI projects).
Such evaluation can be delegated to algorithms, like in the case of Google Pagerank, where search results are ordered according to different criteria such as relative relevance, search histories, etc.
such as collective mapping (CAP4ACCESS), deliberation (CATALYST), crowd voting (CHEST), social currencies (D-CENT), directories of initiatives (P2pvalue), statistical data collections (WEB-COSI),

The Internet's promise of providing fundamental access to and distribution of European culture to within reach of its citizens,
strategies that in part, can be understood as reactions to the activities of commercial enterprises such as Google.
At the same time, new collaborative and civil society based projects such as Wikipedia have emerged also, whose dynamics remain unparalleled even by commercial actors.
In today's world, the Internet's relevance for our shared cultural heritage depends upon its open structure
Archetypes of these three different actors are Wikipedia, Google and Europeana. While on the one hand these actors are competitors and hold suspicions of one another, on the other hand,
Museums were never the driving force behind digitisation or the new Internet possibilities of access, negotiation,
The most important example by far is Wikipedia. For a long time Wikipedia was viewed critically and even ridiculed, however now, Wikipedia enjoys a considerable reputation
and has established itself in the field of encyclopaedias. Other companies have also, with immense courage and high investment, started to digitise
and make more information accessible online. The Google books Project, the most famous example of mass digitisation, is by no means the only one.
While Google's projects were, and still remain controversial and contested, they have been very successful and many museums are currently cooperating with them, for example within the Google Art Project.
Google is a dominant commercial player in the field, but there are many others-competition is just a mouse click away.
Although clearly museums have so far not been the vanguard in the process of digitisation the need for them to become more active players is Where do museums stand in the digital age?
Private companies, heritage institutions and the civil society. Paul Klimpel 10 crucial. Museums'tasks of collection, preservation, study and exhibition of cultural heritage remain vital ones,
In the modern times of Ebay and countless other e-commerce enterprises where a buyer can be found for almost anything,
Standardisation in the digital world includes web services, personal data standards and metadata exchange interfaces. Data modelling and collection in the digital age is a far greater challenge than the more classic'book-finder'.
However, it will still be quite some time until museums implement these standards. 5. Announce The possibilities are great for museums to make their holdings available through the Internet. 11 Although, again, this rests on the condition of digitising one's collections and the standardisation of those collections'metadata.

Soberly consider the new players in the digital age, Wikipedia, Google and the countless others.
For example, the Bavarian State Library and Google entered into a very beneficial partnership, but as they did not publicise the cooperation agreement from the very beginning the reputation of the partnership suffered.
and digitisation and the Internet can help make it accessible to everyone. What museums do with public funds for society must remain public
The Internet has been a part of daily life in the developed world for more than two decades.
smartphones and tablets are simply a fact of life. The question is therefore less about how museums can respond to a'digital'age,
The current rise in popularity of mobile technologies such as smartphones and tablet devices is forcing cultural organisations, and especially museums
especially as mobile technologies in particular have become almost ubiquitous over the last five years with the phenomenal take-up of smart phones and tablets like the ipad.
especially if that requires the use of mobile hand-held devices. There are several essential factors to consider as a museum develops its engagement strategy:
it is essential for any museum thinking seriously about going mobile to consider the following
Today, museums are asked to provide services ranging from digitisation and aggregation of digital cultural content, to interactive navigation, culture experiences, lifelong learning, social media and augmented reality applications.
and thus extend the scope of protection to new media, networks, mobile networks and devices, and social networks.

which has until now been dominated by private companies, like Google or Wikipedia. Through Europeana, the EU has established a platform that will not only democratise information
A different way of doing things Museums today must accept the Web 2. 0 assertion that
if you do not have an Internet presence, you do not exist at all. For museums, this entails digitisation in every function.
During the second stage of digitisation, in the early 2000s, museums began to implement collection management systems that made material accessible to the audience via the Internet.
It gives them the chance to open mobile and purely virtual museums alongside brick-andmortar establishments.
In actuality, mobile and Internet services are not just a possibility but a necessity. 29 COPYRIGHT QUESTIONS FOR MUSEUMS Internet accessibility does not come without copyright problems,
which arise not from the mere existence of copyright laws, but rather, from their complexity.
