After travelling since 30 years and having been in every country that touches the Mediterranean and some that don't, I suspect that the Ancient world does not consist of some Northern European Museums alone. So a tremendous amount of material would remain totally outside of the discussion if one would go with unilateralism of URIs. Otherwise, with the help of the scientific community and attempts to mine old archives and new Foto-Tourism, much progress could be done. <br /><br />Many curators would be happy if the community would help them to get a foothold in their material, also digitally. In front of this background the exclusive minting-right for URIs is a somewhat Northern European notion. Its all a very old story.<br /><br />ReinhardAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465239275527960259noreply@blogger.com
