Technological and Legal Aspect in Digitalization of Movable Cultural Assets. Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights

Abstract

The article presents the cycle of digitization of cultural heritage objects (movable cultural values stored in museums and galleries) with its three main stages: preparation, conversion and access. The focus is on the technological aspect, the preparation of the museum team and the standards used. In parallel, the legal framework of digitization is viewed as a serious, nationally specific and rarely presented topic related to copyright and intellectual property over the original and its digital derivative. Keywords: Digitization, Cultural Heritage, Authorship and Copyright, Intellectual Property Rights, Standards
