Content
Culture.si offers an up to date Address book that can be searched by the region, discipline or type; as well as image and logo banks for download and use according to their specific licences.
The main content on Culture.si portal represents some 2,400 original and restructured articles on Slovene culture. They are tagged with over 400 different categories so that many useful lists can be obtained, for example: Brass band music, Comic art exhibition organisers, Cultural management web resources, Dance residencies, Embassies and consulates in Slovenia, Film periodicals, Literature venues, Museum libraries, Music festival organisers, New media art festivals, Recording studios, Theatre research, Visual arts awards, etc.
Culture.si publishes a calendar of previously unavailable announcements of cultural events from Slovenia happening around the world and offers information on the main international events in Slovenia with links to relevant articles and selected external links on programmes. The events are displayed selectively on thematic portal pages.
Photos
The photos on Culture.si have been obtained from Slovene producers and institutions, from Slovene photographers via Slovenia Press Photo Festival, while some were found on the Internet (free licences).
Background
Culture.si portal is based on the experience with the Cultural Profiles databases project initiated and managed by Visiting Arts, conceived by Tim Doling, Managing Editor, and developed by Librios Ltd. From 2002 till 2008 the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia in partnership with the British Council Slovenia actively supported the establishment and maintenance of the Slovenia Cultural Profile, a comprehensive English-language guide to culture in Slovenia, aimed at both cultural professionals and the general public. The publication Slovenia Cultural Profile, based on the database, was issued in 2004 and 2008.
The collection of data that had been developed for the Slovenia Cultural Profile with support from the Ministry of Culture provided the basis for the newly organised, updated, and redesigned MediaWiki Culture.si database.
Mission
Culture.si hopes to broaden and promote international cultural cooperation, as well as knowledge and recognition of Slovene culture.
User groups
There are several different groups which can benefit from the information offered by Culture.si. Although primarily designed to meet the needs of culture professionals, Culture.si also caters to researchers, students, artists, tourists and anyone looking for information on Slovene cultural institutions, organisations, producers, venues, festivals, heritage, funding, education, support services, etc. Culture professionals may benefit from thorough and regularly updated address books, timeline charts prepared for research purposes, and image and logo banks for easy incorporation into publications. Students of culture may benefit from lists of educational possibilities in Slovenia. Any material found on this portal may be used based on the specified terms.
Semantic MediaWiki cultural portal
In 2009 the Ministry of Culture initiated its own cultural portal for international cooperation with Slovenia called Culture.si. A flexible public database for the needs of cultural sphere built with semantic web principles, using open source and open formats, has been developed by Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab.
Enhance Wikipedia!
Wikipedia in English has over 3 million articles but not many of them are related to culture in/from Slovenia. Please, contribute! You can copy and adapt facts or texts from Culture.si by simply acknowledging the source (Culture.si, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia).
