CALL FOR PARTICIPATION. Deadline: September 30, 2007.

heritage on-line. Taking an international 
perspective, the MW program reviews and analyzes 
the issues and impacts of networked cultural, 
natural and scientific heritage.

researchers in all areas actively exploring the 
creation, on-line presentation and use of

its re-use and evaluation.

MW is very international; the 2007 conference
