what motivates a large segment of the population. Social media channels and blogs are also very powerful tools for engaging communities of interest over a longer period of time,
whether the community of interest being addressed is, on average, internet savvy or not. How familiar people are with technologies must be considered in designing engagement strategies and the participatory working dynamics.

However, it will still be quite some time until museums implement these standards. 5.

The Internet has been a part of daily life in the developed world for more than two decades.
E-commerce legislation-regulates business transactions made on the Internet. The commercial exploitation of a museum's digital content is regulated also.
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.
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.
It has become clear that the broadened presence of the museum's collections on the Internet

The Internet is approximately 40 years old and its capacity for generating societal and economic value is understood relatively well,
therefore, exists at the heart of the Internet. Despite the existence of a technical networking layer that could spread power

In particular, we examine how some of these digital services can take advantage of the network effect of the Internet
as the Internet is increasingly the technical underpinning of the sociotechnical fabric of our societies.
1) the level of the technical networking infrastructure itself provided by the Internet and 2) the level of online services built on top of these networks.
For example, despite the Internet being funded a military research project and the web a scientific project at their inceptions,
the Internet and web were based on open standards and a radically decentralised architecture that could be harnessed by any actor.
Beyond the Internet, many new technologies such as open hardware may have positive network externalities. This network effect applies in a straightforward manner for some services such as social networking sites like Facebook,
For each kind of socially innovative service, we want to determine how they can maximise their impact using the infrastructure made available by the widespread usage of digital tools such as the Internet.
the Internet forms a natural digital substrate for collective intelligence. Looking forward collective intelligence is necessary for social innovation to tackle the problems facing society in today's complex and interconnected world, where grasping problems such as the financial crisis, climate change,
At the present moment, the Internet offers unprecedented opportunities for collective intelligence via its increasing ubiquity and the massive amounts of data available for collective transformation into knowledge.
More than five billion additional people will connect to the Internet globally in the next ten years,
whilst over twenty billion objects will be connected to the Internet, transmitting data coming from people, sensors, the environment and objects themselves.
However, we cannot expect the Internet by itself to drive innovation to help citizens address major societal challenges.
If we observe the Internet during its early phases when it was funded primarily by research and defense, its founding principles, such as network neutrality, equitable service,
A main Internet trend-threat is recognised today: an increasing concentration of power in services in the hands of a few data aggregators, none of which are based in Europe (Google controlling nearly 82%of the global search market and 98%of the mobile search market,

The alternative is to accelerate innovations that align the capacities of the Internet better to social needs
A major risk for the Future Internet is the realisation of the‘Big brother'scenario, with big industrial players (mainly US-based) reinforcing their dominant position by implementing platform lock in strategies,
since we are seeing a consolidation of existing powers at every layer of the Internet ecosystem.

Community networking (also known as bottom-up networking) is an emerging model for the Future Internet across Europe and beyond,

Guifi. net is connected to the Catalan Internet Exchange (CATNIX) as an autonomous system (AS) via optical fibre with IPV4 and IPV6.
Other interesting examples of multidisciplinary research projects are the Network of Excellence on Internet Science (EINS),
that aims to integrate multidisciplinary scientific understanding of Internet networks and their co-evolution with society,
and moving towards and Open source Internet of Thingst Open-source hardware consists of hardware whose blueprints are made publicly available
which facilitate the anywhere/anytime access to the Internet, and to new services So-called Cyber Physical Systems (CPS),
and with the Internet, is giving rise to what has been named as Industry 4. 019 This smart infrastructure is also increasingly getting to know people by aggregating personal and social data in massive data centres.
Successful actors in DSI have managed to leverage large networks using the Internet in order to accomplish innovation at scale by the network effect.
Top-down and systemic approaches The most relevant initiatives are the European Innovation Partnerships, Smart Cities, the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership Programme (FI-PPP),
The development of the Future Internet is addressed mainly through a number of technical projects, such as the FI PPP23 and the 5g PPP24.
Also the Internet needs to continue to be a neutral space where creativity can continue to flourish. 7. Gender Equality in DSI Promote gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT in DSI by tackling things such as criteria for funding

A Magna carta for the Internet Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the Web is advocating for a sort of Magna carta for the Internet to estabilish basic rights and freedoms,
to keep the Internet open, without surveillance and censorship, and to halt power abuses from Governments and corporations.
