MultiMatch - Multilingual/Multimedia Access to Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage content is everywhere on the web, in traditional environments such as libraries, museums, galleries and audiovisual archives, but also in popular magazines and newspapers, in multiple languages and multiple media. MultiMatch is a 30 month specific targeted research project under the Sixth Framework Programme, supported by the unit for Content, Learning and Cultural Heritage (Digicult) of the Information Society DG. MultiMatch plans to develop a multilingual search engine designed specifically for the access, organization and personalized presentation of cultural heritage information. This paper provides an overview of the project goals and describes the preliminary results.
