Brief Project Description:
The goal of this three-year project is to increase the accessibility of public sector information. Collections previously available only at the headquarters of 16 Partners (scientific institutes) participating in the Project, after digitization, are made available without any restrictions, under open licenses, and free of charge on the portal rcin.org.pl. This opens up new research, verification, and cognitive opportunities in various areas of science: exact sciences, natural sciences, technical sciences, humanities, social sciences, medical sciences, as well as agricultural and forestry sciences. The reach of the digitized resources is international. Both existing and new users of the rcin.org.pl platform, including Polish and international scientific communities, benefit from the Project's outcomes.
The Project plans to digitize 145,992 objects and make available online the metadata and content of 146,107 sought-after objects (previously unavailable on the Internet).
The promotional activities planned in the Project will contribute to spreading information about the potential of open data collected on the RCIN platform by the Project Partners and the benefits of opening up scientific resources.
