2. NaturalEurope: Natural History & Environmental Cultural Heritage in European Digital Libraries for Education
In an era where natural history and environmental education inadequacy in formal and informal contexts is becoming an increasingly challenging issue, harvesting the potential of European digital libraries appears as a very attractive option. However, an impressive abundance of high quality digital content that is available in Natural History Museums (NHMs) around Europe remains largely unexploited due to a number of barriers, such as: the lack of interconnection and interoperability between the management systems of NHMs, the lack of centralised access through a European point of reference like Europeana, as well as the inefficiency of current content organization and the metadata used.
