"Many cultural and educational institutions in Europe have organised their data in databases and published them on the web. However, in most cases, these databases only contain data related to the organisation’s specific domain of interest, and provide no means to interlink them with complementary information from other institutions. Significant potential synergies between different databases are thereby lost. Also, the multitude of isolated databases available makes it difficult to locate information."

"Taking a cue from John Lennon’s famous song which calls for the elimination of barriers and exclusion based on class, race, gender and nationalities the emphasis for our 2006 conference is on the progress of tourism as a tool for poverty reduction in poor and economically underdeveloped regions. At a time of increasing mobility, ease of travel and the emergence of new destinations, tourism’s contribution remains shrouded in bad data, misinformation, myths and mystery. Given that the industry servicing “people on the move’ deliver socio-economic benefits is not in question, why is it still so controversial?"
