A Cultural Heritage Registry Prototype

Abstract

In the Republic of Serbia the cultural heritage has been digitized by many institutions and individuals. Although a large number of resources with digitized material of different kinds are available on the Internet, it is not easy to find any specific one. We have developed a prototype of central register of digitized cultural heritage. Our solution is based on a database of digital resources metadata and provides a simple way to locate any kind of digital resources. Resources can be located either by name or by their characteristics. The register can be regularly updated from information sources using XML files.
