Since this is the first meeting after e-Culture was approved to be a Working Group in APAN, this meeting will focus on the design of an e-Culture platform and further collaboration in Asia and Pacific

.

(1)Toward an e-Culture Platform Although utilization of ICT in research process is expanding in all of academic disciplines including Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences, knowledge or know-how about the methods and data tends to be limited within a certain radius. For this reason, we would like to discuss the current condition and future direction of the platform for sharing data (or meta-data), gathering experiences and expertise, and global collaboration via network in studies related to eCulture.

(2)Collaboration with Pacific Neighborhood Consortium (PNC) PNC 2006 Annual Conference will be held in Seoul National University, Hoam Faculty House, 16-18 August 2006. On 18th August, APAN eCulture is planning to organize the e-Culture session in PNC 2006. Based on the explanation by Prof. Sato, further collaboration style between APAN eCulture and PNC will be discussed.

(3)Future Arrangement for Next APAN Meeting Proposal
