This sub-module refers to the deliverable D4.1 Initial version of environment information extraction tools [Corubolo, F. et al (2014)]
Please refer to the further reading list for the names referenced to in [ ].
The section reflects the examination of previous work on identifying and representing the information for a digital object (DO) that is relevant to support the reuse of that object, in the long-term, across different user communities and for different purposes. We structure this examination by beginning with information that comes from the DO itself, then move beyond the DO with the aim of identifying a broader set of information that needs to be taken into account to better support DO reuse. We recognise that this classification is one among many; the aim is however to show one thread that leads us to the topic of Significant Environment Information.
