How do we make digital heritage actually work for everyone? INFINITY, in collaboration with the Data Space for Cultural Heritage, is launching two targeted surveys to benchmark the tools of the future. Whether you manage collections or create new content, your expertise is the missing link.
Act now: complete the Surveys
For curators & archivists: help us evaluate how collections are managed and enriched.

For researchers & creators: tell us how you reuse digital assets and what barriers you face.

Why your input is critical
The cultural heritage sector is at a crossroads. While digitization has unlocked global access, we still struggle with fragmented data, complex IPR regulations, and tools that don’t always capture the multi-dimensional nature of our history.
As part of Work Package 4, INFINITY is conducting a dual-track assessment. We aren’t just looking for technical data; we need to understand the real-world choices, strategic hurdles, and sustainability challenges that institutions face every day.
The Mission: benchmarking excellence
These surveys are critical steps in building the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH). By participating, you will help us:
- Evaluate capabilities: assess the enrichment and reuse potential of commonly used Collection Management Systems (CMS).
- Navigate IPR: identify gaps in current business models and intellectual property frameworks to ensure ethical and sustainable reuse.
- Design better tools: provide direct input for the requirements of the INFINITY ecosystem, ensuring our AI-driven tools meet your actual needs.
Who should participate?
We are looking for a diverse range of perspectives:
- CH professionals: to provide insights on management workflows.
- Creative industry leaders & researchers: to highlight the needs for high-quality, reusable data.
Be part of the “Knowledge Web”
INFINITY is about a participatory approach to technology. By sharing your thoughts, you contribute to the creation of Multidimensional Knowledge Graphs that respect a multiplicity of viewpoints and audiences.
“The success of our digital ecosystem relies on real-world feedback. These surveys ensure that the technology we deliver is robust, fair, and truly useful for the community.”
