1. Culturalia.ro platform: access control
and intellectual responsibility

2. The platform (in a few words)...
•a digital libary;
•... but also a national shared catalogue.

3. The platform (in a few words)...
•the Romanian pendant of Europeana;
•a national shared catalogue of metadata for digital AND
physical objects;
•the digital objects stored (optionally) also in the central
repository;
•no datasets, no records; statements about entities (i.e.
linked data);
•granular ontology: EDM + CIDOC-CRM + FRBRoo.

4. Why is the access control important ?
•the catalogue is open to all institutions AND to the
general public (i.e. “user generated content”);
•(of course) some data are not for public exposure;
•large range of competences.

5. The access
competences

6. Authorisations ?
•0 – 9 read levels; 0 – 9 write levels;
•an hierarchy of authorities to be established (as for
Worldcat ?);
•the identification issue: no nicknames ! (contributing
users registered via the local libraries ?).

7. The access
granularity

Intellectual
responsibility !

8. Access:
Permit = Authorisation
Permit level <= Authorisation level
But:
• objections and comments allowed (for
the publicly visible statements).

9. Legacy and import issues
The catalogue will be populated with
metadata via:
•online recording;
•ingesting legacy data;
•import from established vocabularies
(... with mapping issues ☺).
... with provenances marked accordingly.
