ARROW´s mass media coverage

Following the European Commission´s hearing on the Google Settlement, the mass media coverage referred to the ARROW project as the solution for orphan and out of print works through facilitating the clearing of rights for those works. This conclusion reflects the high expectations that many cultural and governmental institutions have placed on the ARROW project.

Orphan and out of print works are big challenges facing the European Heritage digitisation projects, and they play an important role in commercial exploitation on the net as well.

The project members reaffirmed their commitment and willingness to deliver results on time and incorporate the best features possible. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be finished in February of 2010.
