Conference Proceedings “Legal Аspects of Digitisation of Cultural Heritage”

Abstract

Proceedings of scientific conference held on 19. October 2017 at Serbian Academy of Science and Art “Legal aspects of digitisation of cultural heritage”, edited by Dragan Prlja,[1] contains fourteen original scientific papers which deal, from different aspects, with the issues of “normative regulation of jurisdiction for digitisation of cultural heritage in Serbia, countries in the region and the European Union”, and many other questions concerning legal standards and intellectual property protection during the process of digitisation. In the foreword of the Proceedings it is pointed out that new possibilities of digitisation related to availability and protection of material brought new technical and organizational challenges too, but no less important, legal ones. However, legal aspects were neglected so far, although this activity exists for twenty years. The aim of the Proceedings is to compensate the lack of literature, and to unite knowledge from this area in which the research will continue and in which some questions are going to get real answers.
