Rev2 – Follow-Up (1/3)Rev2 – Follow-Up (1/3)
Green light – 2nd Review 4 July 2002Criticism:
It was recommended to better coordinate the future clustering developments with OpenHeritage.
Solution:This has been done from the sight of REGNET with a concerted final report and cluster meeting at Toulouse. Finally the two projects have organized a joint presentation and paper at EVA03 Florence. AIT took over part of the development for the data entry tool which was initially fully dedicated to SPACE. The contribution of SPACE included the Index+ Gateway.

Criticism on Task 2.5 Market Preparation
The indications of the 2nd review report have been recognized in the release of the final version of the Deliverable 6 – Market Preparation which describes:
The trends in cultural heritage, quantitative analysis of the target groups, qualitative analysis of the target groups, the range of services provided by REGNET, Best-Practice-Analysis on the cultural heritage market, Strategic market analysis, Generic marketing strategies, Case studies for market introduction, Overview on planned Cultural Service Centers.

Rev2 – Follow-Up (3/3)Rev2 – Follow-Up (3/3)
Specific pricing strategies are at the moment worked out by the REGNET cultural service centres based on the feedback of the national testbeds that have been carried out or are still under way in the different partner states.
The partner TINC has stopped to be involved actively in the project. IMAC has taken over the responsibility for the Market Preparation Task. A reallocation of manpower based on this shift has been carried out.
The access to the REGNET-WEB services via mobile devices via de facto standard protocols (WAP) has been implemented on a first trial version but had been dropped from the list of objectives due to the delay of the UMTS-services publicly available.

18SUMMING UPSUMMING UPResultsResults
The REGNET-Development activities have been executed within work packages 1 and 2 and delivered useable results for setting up a the “Service-Layer” within the overall concept.
The content engineering activities delivered not only valuable content held at the REGNET-content providers sites ( museums, libraries, archives) but also a workable concept for relevant data structures based on XML-technologies.
27 March 2003 REGNET Final Project Review
19SUMMING UPSUMMING UP ResultsResults
The platform engineering delivered a state of the art concept and implementation how to set up a technical infrastructure to interconnect different platforms and WEB-based services (SOAP, WEB-Services, etc); test samples of some REGNET-data bases can be accesses via the OAI-Harvesting Protocol
The business (cross enterprise) engineering delivered a workable framework for cooperation on the global market and a European Economic Interest Group (“Cultural Service Centres – Europe EEIG”) and extensive definition of relevant business processes in the cultural domain
27 March 2003 REGNET Final Project Review
20SUMMING UPSUMMING UP ResultsResults
The Integration of external components and partnerships has been investigated by a potential future cooperation possibility in the publishing area: data from the REGNET-data stores have been rearranged by an US-located publisher producing a WEB-Catalogue of images which also can be published in PDF-Format.
All REGNET activities delivered such promising and valuable results that it was already during the project life time possible to act on the “global market place”; for example the CULTIVATE-Services offered during the demonstration phase brought in several external partners and feedback from real business operations.

21SUMMING UPSUMMING UP ResultsResults
The REGNET system offers now a common service-portal to different services like data entry, search and retrieval, and e-business and different regional service portals which are targeted to the clientel of the Cultural Service Centres (CSCs).

22SUMMING UPSUMMING UP ResultsResults
Future activities will be offered by the CSC-Europe-EEIG as organisational and technical framework for new project operations as well as for regular business activities.
For example contacts have already been made with RLG (Research Libraries Group, USA) regarding future cooperation or with the just evolving DLM-Network EEIG to cooperate within projects in the European Research Area.
