MultiMatch: multiple Access to Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Our shared cultural heritage (CH) is an essential part of our European identity, transcending cultural and language barriers. The aim of the MultiMatch project is to enable users to explore and interact with online internet-accessible CH content, across media types and language boundaries, in ways that do justice to the multitude of existing perspec- tives. This has been achieved through the development of a search en- gine targeted for the access, organisation and personalized presentation of large and complex cultural heritage information. MultiMatch aims at heterogeneous digital object retrieval and presentation.
