Towards coordination of the national digital cultural heritage in Sweden…

The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital preservation

• The national strategy for digitisation, digital access and digital preservation was established by the Swedish Government on 21 December 2011.

• The aim of the strategy is to regulate the work for the government agencies and institutions that collect, preserve and make cultural heritage information available for the end users.

• The strategy covers the whole range of digitisation issues, from selection to the preservation and use. The focus is on the opportunities digitisation offers for use, reuse and creativity, and what is necessary for this to be possible.

…is a part of the strategy

The main task is to coordinate the work with national digital strategy between 2012-2015– Node for knowledge and competence– Present recommendations for coordinated digital

information management of collections and holdings. – Develop proposals for cost-effective long-term digital

preservation of collections and holdings.– Define roles and responsibilities for the work on

aggregation, access and preservation of digital cultural heritage information.

Increase…

…within present budget frames…

24 central agencies and institutions, responsible for different perspectives of the cultural heritage, are targeted by the strategy

The Governement and the Public Agencies

• The Government decides upon the preconditions for the indivual agency´s operations– Annual appropriations directives– Ordinances– Special assignements

• The Governement agencies are the Governement´s most important instrument in carrying out its policies

• Annual reports and evaluation• Quite substantial scope for steering the operations of

government agencies but no power to intervene in an agency´s decision in specific matters relating to the application of the law or the due exercise of its authority.

…scalable solutions in the benefit for the cultural heritage sector as a whole.
