Images for the tourists: the experiences of the British Tourist Authority and English Tourist Board in setting up a digital image collection

Abstract

The British Tourist Authority and English Tourist Board are developing a unique library of digital images relating to tourism, digitised using Photo‐CD, stored in an object‐oriented database, and made accessible to overseas offices over an Intranet. Issues relating to copyright, security, and the efficient distribution of high‐resolution images have been considered in depth: other issues remain unresolved.
