Es ist häufig notwendig, mit Mitarbeitern der Europäischen Kommission per Email zu kommunizieren. Um die Emailadressen von namentlich bekannten Mitarbeitern in Erfahrung zu bringen, kann eine diesbezügliche Anfrage an den Adresseninformationsdienst der Europäischen Kommission gerichtet werden: address-information@mail.di.cec.be
Da die Auskunft per E-Mail erfolgt, sollte vorsichtshalber die eigene E-Mail-Anschrift nochmal genannt werden.
In diesem Zusammenhang möchten wir auch auf das elektronische Verzeichnis der Europäischen Institutionen IDEA hinweisen. Das Verzeichnis, das eine hierarchische und personenbezogene Suchfunktion hat, liegt auf dem WWW unter: http://158.169.50.70/idea/ideaen.html
Dieses elektronische Verzeichnis beinhaltet allerdings nur die Mitarbeiter auf Leitungsebene der Einrichtungen (Direktoren und Referatsleiter).

Neuer Web-Dienst für das Fünfte Rahmenprogramm
CORDIS hat einen neuen Webdienst für das Fünfte Rahmenprogramm eingerichtet, der Informationen über die Forschungs- und Entwicklungspläne der Europäischen Union in den nächsten fünf Jahren anbieten soll. Die Website http://www.cordis.lu/fp5/ leitet sich aus dem CORDIS Focus-Service für das Fünfte Rahmenprogramm ab, der bisher Informationen über den Vorbereitungsprozeß und die Verabschiedung des Fünften Rahmenprogramms brachte.
Der neue Service dient als erster Ansatzpunkt für Interessenten, die sich am Fünften Rahmenprogramm beteiligen oder Nutzen aus ihm ziehen möchten.
Zur Zeit bietet dieser Web-Service eine Einführung in das neue Rahmenprogramm auf höherer Ebene mit Zusammenfassungen und Nachrichten über neueste Entwicklungen. In den kommenden Monaten soll er sowohl inhaltlich als auch durch graphische Darstellungen erheblich erweitert werden.
Als Schlüsselelemente bietet dieser Web-Service Angaben über:
CORDIS focus - Nr. 125 vom 25.01.99, S. 7

Electronic Management and Trading of Intellectual Property
The Kick-off meeting of the cluster' Electronic Management and Trading of Intellectual Property (http://www.ispo.cec.be/ecommerce/iprcluster.htm) was held in Brussels on 27 January 1999. The cluster is a grouping of existing and future EC projects (under the Fifth Framework Programme) involved with electronic transfer and trade of digital content to which rights are associated. The grouping aims to support the industrial and commerical take-up of these projects.
European electronic commerce projects attended the meeting to share experiences and consider future research opportunities. A report by Robin Yeates, Senior Researcher, LITC, who attended the meeting on behalf of the Telematics for Libraries projects PRIDE and CANDLE, is available from the LibraryTechnology journal at: http://www.sbu.ac.uk/litc/lt/1999/news1306.html

HARMONICA and EBLIDA meet the Music Industry
Copyright needs to be balanced with harmonised exemptions and security backed up with a code of good practice.
On the 21st and 22nd January 1999 the Austrian Academy of Sciences hosted a joint meeting of the HARMONICA Project and EBLIDA to discuss music libraries and copyright. Representatives attended from the phonograph producers, music publishers, composers' organisations, rights collection societies, broadcast organisations, together with representatives from public library music departments, music conservatory libraries, music and audio-visual archives, music information centres and software research companies.
All parties appreciated the need to recognise and protect the copyright and neighbouring rights vested in printed and recorded music as well as in the music elements in multimedia. While the industry needs to do all it can to protect those rights, libraries have a role to make materials available to their clients; archives and cultural institutions need to digitise and all may need to copy for the purpose of preservation and access.
Though these positions may appear to be diametrically opposed, the Forum in Vienna revealed much on which compromise might be reached. While the European Parliament is debating changes to copyright regulations and the phonograph companies are developing both copy protection and watermarking against piracy, some music libraries feel that they are being left out of the discussion, despite the active lobbying by much of the rest of the library sector.
Music libraries and archives have much to do to keep up to date with copyright legislation and the exemptions that govern their practice.
The main issue that emerged at the Forum was the lack of knowledge on all sides of the position and needs of the other parties. In order that the libraries can respect the position of rights holders, and that the rights holders in turn can understand and support the legitimate needs of libraries, archives and their users, they have all to talk to each other.
It was clear at the Forum that many parties were hearing the views of the others for the first time.
Each of the different institutions: public libraries, specialist collections, sound and audio-visual archives and music education institutions must complete a matrix of needs and practices. With this in hand there can be a sensible basis for discussion with all the rights holders, leading to agreement on a code of good practice in these institutions which respects and is respected by the music industry.
A full report of the Vienna Forum is in preparation and will be published.
