[Imperialle]<br />
B3.2a. Chosen approach<br />
<strong>The</strong> Imperialle project has a clear and rather simple structure, and carries a logical sequence of the work<br />
packages. <strong>The</strong> project’s work plan is divided into five production work-packages (WPs) and three logistic<br />
work-packages. WP1 to WP5 follow the natural steps needed for digitisation, beginning with defining the<br />
digitisation rules, evaluating the technical resources, and the selection, restoration and preparation of the objects<br />
to be digitised. <strong>The</strong>se are the tasks of WP1. WP2 includes the preparation work concerning the software,<br />
database system, and metadata. WP3 follows with the digitisation itself. In WP4 the digital images are postprocessed,<br />
and put into the databases together with the metadata. WP5 is the integration work package<br />
responsible for the inter-operability between the databases.<br />
<strong>The</strong> logistic WPs put a strong emphasis on the exploitation aspect in addition to producing output. In WP6<br />
“Assessment and Evaluation”, we want to verify, in collaboration with external users, the quality and impact of<br />
our output. WP7 “Dissemination and Sustainability” takes care of accessibility (ergonomics and graphic appeal<br />
of user interfaces and other output; quality of documentation), manages awareness activities and prepares the<br />
dissemination kit. WP8 “<strong>Project</strong> management” is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of the technical work is in WP2, which includes the database design and web presentation of the<br />
masterpieces, and in WP5 which entails the functional extension of the <strong>Bernstein</strong> portal and the implementation<br />
of the communication protocols.<br />
Partners’ roles – Most of the <strong>part</strong>ners will contribute to all tasks or activity areas of the project. However, each<br />
has a focal interest, which is outlined below.<br />
