Las TIC al servicio del conocimiento avanzado multilingüe: la biblioteca digital plurilingüe del Mediterráneo- IVITRA

Abstract

This study shall analyse the importance of the ICT sector at the service of the libraries in general and, specifi cally, the potential of digital libraries. In this study we will refl ect on the importance of the digital library not only as a repository of contents, but also as a centre that is capable of creating knowledge. We will speak about the importance of constituting digital libraries in culturally related areas and of their multilingual nature. It is important that these contents be preserved in their original languages while simultaneously producing multilingual translations as a means to better the diffusion and enhance the knowledge of the patrimony that are deposited in said libraries. In this sense, we shall explain the characteristics of the Mediterranean Multilingual Digital Library IVITRA.
