To complete the project “Digitizing the Corpus Rubenianum Ludwig Burchard,” (2013–2016), the Rubenianum organized a seminar on the digitization of art publications. The central theme was the transition from printed volumes to multimedia web-based publications, comparable to the Online Scholarly Catalogue Initiative of the Getty Foundation. At this seminar the current cultural landscape was outlined and a number of projects singled out for special attention, with the aim of providing methods and procedures that may serve as examples within the heritage sector.
You can find abstracts of all the contributions made on this day here. The presentations can be downloaded or consulted online by following the links in the program below. (N.B. In the case of some of the presentations, the text of the lecture has been integrated into the PowerPoint presentation and does not become visible until the presentation has been downloaded.)
