Leaders from industry, academia, and government will present the
latest developments in Web technology, and discuss the issues and
challenges facing the Web community as it moves into the 21st Century.
CULTURE TRACK
The WWW9 Culture Track offers a comprehensive scenario on emerging
technologies and trends in "networked arts", with specific reference
to virtual museums. Each presentation will provide valuable insights
for the developer, the content provider/institution, and the user.
This track will explore how multimedia technology could re-engineer
the way visitors presently perceive their visiting a museum or art
gallery, the added value associated with ICT applications, and real
issues of museums and archives.
The Culture track is organized by MEDICI, a European Commission
initiative on ICT and new technologies for Cultural Heritage.
