The first phase of the MILE project has ended

The first phase of the Metadata Image Library Exploitation (MILE) project has ended. You can access the following documents related to the project: Recomendations, guides to metadata and clearing digital image rights, a public report with a succinct overview of MILE's work, and a self-assessment report.

MILE was a 3 year project that aimed to make the digital images of Europe’s cultural heritage more accessible to all European citizens by improving the metadata attached to these images.

The MILE project was proposed for funding under the EC’s eContentplus programme as a result of the i2010 Digital Libraries Initiative. The concept for the MILE project was originated, written and continues to be managed by The Bridgeman Art Library, London UK, the world’s leading source for fine art images.
