If yes, what are the main conclusions/recommendations?:
Quantitatively, the platform is visited each year by more than 250,000 users who can benefit from the information of more than 316,000 cultural goods through more than 557,000 images.
The main conclusions and recommendations are as follows:
-The sharing of the same information model for the dissemination of cultural goods facilitates the promotion of cultural strategies based on cultural contents: projects Patrimonio en Femenino, Año Cultural Europeo, Catálogo de Colecciones Cervantinas, etc.).
-The visibility of local museum collections in the Network enhances the internationalization of our Cultural Heritage.
-The dissemination of collections has helped institutions to renovate very diverse aspects of their management, such as the updating of the loan policy for temporary exhibitions or the promotion of citizen collaboration in the revision of contents.
