Pre-requisites for a possible technical solution of a virtual access to cultural heritage (A. Knoll) ... p. 77-83

The study tries to find a common denominator for visual/digital representations of various cultural objects, such as documents, 3D museum objects of all kinds, or architectural monuments, archaeological sites, and monuments of inanimate nature. The result of the analysis of a series of rules describing the descriptive structure of these objects and their relationship to digital files that represent them - audio, visual, textual, and video files - is a common structural model, which is based on our experience from the domain of digitization of rare library documents. The author explains construction of applicable standards from cataloguing rules to their formal syntactic expression. He stresses on the points of view that are common for libraries and museums, but he also calls attention on the danger of semantic barriers in an apparently harmonic environment of similar description standards.

The paper informs about the standard MASTER (Manuscript Access through STandard for Electronic Records) document type definition.

Continuing of development of the international system for musical works registration (E. Bratková) ... p. 102-110

The article brings information about newly published international standard ISO 15707 (ISWC) and the birth of the international system for musical works identification and registration. In the first parties of the article the author gives delimitations of identified entities (i.e. abstract musical works or their expressions) and the structure description of the international identifier ISWC. The text comprises a range of examples of musical works to which the code ISWC will be allocated. In the following parties the attention is devoted to a succesive formation of the global system for musical works identification and registration. In actual time the ISWC system comprises the ISWC International Agency (ISWC IA), residing in Paris within the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), and some agencies regional (LatinAutor, SongCode etc.) and local (Buma/Stemra, MCPS/PRS, SACEM, SUISA etc.). Metadata for musical works registration and actual stage of the ISWC databases network development and modern interfaces for information searching are characterized in details.
