Identifying entities has been one of the concerns of libraries since ancient times. As the volume of data has increased considerably and the online environment has turned into a huge information world, identifiers have become key elements in the correct and clear location of digital objects and their interconnection. We note, thus, that libraries are becoming increasingly interested in the use of interrelated data (Linked Data), aimed at creating links for navigation between data sets from different sources. Identifying institutions and resource creators has become a necessity, and setting standards in this regard has been quickly embraced by the GLAMA sector (art galleries, libraries, archives, museums, academic institutions ). Thus, the most used identifiers are briefly presented at an international level, in the information sector (ISIL, ISNI, ISBN, ISSN, DOI, Handle), to highlight their role in improving access to data and streamlining their interconnection in a standardized and persistent way.

The invention of The World Wide Web and the appearance of new information and communication technologies have managed to reshape the society and its cultural institutions. As a result, the cultural institutions have included among their main goals the digitization process for two reasons: the desire to preserve the original documents and to offer easier access in the online environment to these documents. The thesis wants to offer an overview of the whole digitization process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article represents the summary of the Ph.D. Thesis with the same title where the author presents and analyses the process of digitization of the cultural institutions' archives and the creation of the digital library, as a peak of knowledge in the new informational world. The thesis begins with theoretical approaches, with an emphasis on current research, following a general to specific reasoning. It is structured into two parts, as follows: the first one approaches the issue of digitization on a European level, by selectively presenting the definitions available in literature and providing some examples of projects from countries experienced in digitization; the second part presents the current context of the digitization in cultural institutions in Romania. In order to analyse the current situation of digitization and to identify the digitization projects in Romania, there was created a questionnaire, which was distributed electronically to 134 cultural institutions. The results of the questionnaire have generated a series of proposals regarding the improvement of the digitization process on a national level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
