[Wiki Loves Monuments] Connected Open Heritage project started

[Ilya Korniyko]

Hi,
This is very interesting project.
Are you going to use standarts like CIDOC CRM, International Core Data
Standard for Archaeological and Architectural Heritage and W3C standarts
for Linked Data?
Have you investigated and are you going to reuse tools and experience from
various existing project like Europeana?
Are the tools going to be generic enough to support other fields of
knowledge beyound objects of Wiki Loves Monuments?
How are you going to plan and implement your tools?
This details of  are currently missing in your description pages.

Regards,
Ilya
