Abstract – Recently, there has been an increased interest by cultural institutions in reusable
multimedia components for learning. This implies the adoption of internationally agreed
specifications for cultural contents tagging, packaging and tracking.

Technologies in Education Reusability, the approach to Cultural Heritage e-learning
standardisation promoted by Europe’s leading e-learning R&D and standardisation actor
Giunti Interactive Labs together with results from one of the main R&D Project chaired by
Giunti Interactive Labs within such framework, named SCULPTEUR.
