Discussion on metadata in Polish digital libraries focused mostly on descriptive metadata. The article presents benefits of application of different metadata standards in a digital library. This enables collection of numerous, different information of a digital objects (administrative and technical metadata), which have not been collected in Polish libraries so far. Moreover, the authors prove, that different methods of metadata collection (saving in a digital object, saving in an another file) complement each other, and offer an additional protection against data loss.
The influence of the electronic media transition form analogue to digital broadcasting on mass media law and on the position of the state within the framework of mass media activities in the era of digitalization is not sufficiently appreciated. The first attendant phenomenon of digitalization and the necessity of its proper reflexion within the relations regulated by law is the constitutional importance of changes interconnected with the broadcasting digitalization. The common denominator of considered constitutional changes is the purpose of legal regulations which is the protection of information plurality spread by media. It is necessary to proclaim that the Article No. 26 of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic can not keep its current version which it was given by overwriting Article No. 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms collaterally with overwriting Article No. 19 of the UN Convent on Civil and Political Rights without taking into account the aspect of the freedom of speech regulations in legal texts of the juridical states at the end of 20th century. Another change related to digitalization is the change of the importance of the law on broadcasting and retransmission in the legal code. The role of the basic source of mass media law for electronic media is transferred to the digital broadcasting law.
One of the best formats for scanned documents is DjVu. An essential feature of the format is the hidden text layer, usually containing the results of Optical Character Recognition. Another important feature is the ability to store (and serve over Internet) the documents as a collection of individual pages. From the very beginning the DjVu format has been used also for dictionaries, in particular there are several Polish dictionaries available in this format. So the question is how to search efficiently the text layer in such large multivolume works. For this purpose he author intends in particular to adapt 'Poliqarp' (Polyinterpretation Indexing Query and Retrieval Procesor), a GPLed corpus query tool developed in the Institute of Computer Science of Polish Academy of Sciences. Some preliminary experiments are described in the talk. In his 'quick and dirty' approach the author treats every page as a single document with the metadata consisting of the name of the document index and the name of the file with the page content. For every word, instead of grammatical tags, he provides its localization on the page in the form of the line number and its position in the line. All the data taken together allow to link the search results to the appropriate fragments of the original scans. The author mentions also another approach to the problem, exemplified by djvu- xfgrep program.

The process of remediation is inevitable in the transfer of knowledge and cultural values from the past to the future. Every new medium is a reconstruction of the content and form of its media predecessors. The computer is a terminal meta-medium, which remediates and simulates all previous media and through digitalization inflicts their dematerialization. Next remediation of dematerialised media will happen inside computers as transitions between different software platforms. Dematerialisation applies not only to communication media. In the mode of virtualization it intervenes in different elements and aspects of social reality.
(Slovak title: Digitalizacia kulturneho dedicstva a jej (perspektivna) buducnost v zavislosti od sledovania verejnych a sukromnych zaujmov). The article provides some considerations on copyright protection at national and European level in the context of digitalization of cultural heritage. It is focused on the interpretation of the three-step test as the most important instrument to balance private and public interests in copyright; it defines possibilities of application of copyright exceptions and limitations within national and European digital projects. The article tries to stress out that copyright is now increasingly focused on the interests of secondary right holders to protect their investment. However, neither the author should be in a position to control all uses of his work; some interference is tolerated to the extent they are justified by the interests which are overriding interests of the right holder. In this regard, it is necessary to find the lost balance between the interests of authors, secondary right holders, users and the general public. In the context of digitalization of the cultural heritage it is essential to promote the public interest - the preservation of cultural heritage.
