The strategic documents: The Charter of Parma

The Charter of Parma was approved by the National Representatives Group for digitisation during their 5th meeting in Parma (19th November 2003). This document represents the natural outcome of one of the NRG's priorities: <<consolidate the NRG position and high-level political commitment also using the tool of publications and recommendations by NRG>>, in order to promote the adoption of the recommendations and guidelines produced.

The contents included in the Charter of Parma are summarised in ten articles:

1. Intelligent use of the Internet
2. Accessibility
3. Quality
4. Intellectual property and privacy
5. Interoperability and standards
6. Inventories and Multilingualism
7. Benchmarking
8. Relations with European and international institutions
