This paper discusses the transformation from analogue to digital agriculture (smart farming) and the laws and regulations affecting the governance of agricultural data in the EU. It is argued that the current legal and policy framework in the EU is insufficient to serve the needs of responsible smart farming systems. Specifi c characteristics of farm data and patterns in farm data collection and use contribute to market failuresin agricultural data markets and hence to the insufficient provision of public goods through agriculture. The key parts of the smart farming data value chain are shaped by private contractual agreements between farmer and agricultural technology providers that do not take into account the potential negative externalities of established data flows. There is a strong rationale for a new data economy for EU agriculture, implying a greater involvement of the state in the smart farming data value chain. Interventions would be needed both to support the ecosystem for datadriven innovations in farming and to minimize the risk of new economic and social inequalities in the agriculture sector. The creation of an EU-wide farm data repository under the auspices of EU institutions andin tegrating public agricultural data with private farmers’ data subject to anonymisation and aggregation can be seen as a first step towards a new data economy for EU agriculture. Also, the Common Agricultural Policyshould be more involved in and committed to the process of the digital transformation of farming in the EU.
To a large extent, the world has come to embrace digitalization which currently permeates all human endeavors and life. However, the process of digitalizing human beings themselves, making them Transhuman and allowing the integration of the digital into every aspect of our daily life has made life both paradoxically appreciative and problematic as it increases the global nature of humanity and its endeavors, posing threats as well as benefits. Merging Transhumanism (H+) with the Digital Humanities (DH) may minimize those threats but the dual evolving human-technological thoughts have been hoofing at a distance to each other for decades whereas innately they share the same perceptions on the future of the digitalization and human beings. This paper is channeled towards breaking the barriers between the two through the help of the critical comparative lens from the conceptual theoretical framework called Digital Knowledge Integration (DKI) using hypothetic-deductive method of reading two e-literatures: Digital_Humanities by Anne Burdick, Johanna Drucker, Peter Lunenfeld, Todd Presner & Jeffrey Schnapp published in 2012 and The Transhumanist Reader: Classical and Contemporary Essays on the Science. Technology, and Philosophy of Human Future edited by Max More and Natasha Vita-More in 2013 including other literatures as we need them. This research is also aimed at integrating knowledge into singular model and raising scholarly debates on the new development.

Even though EU member states are quite independent in creating their own media Policy, they abide by the general European rules. Current regulations were agreed upon in 2010 as the Digital Agenda for Europe, being part of the Europe 2020 programme. The main goals of the Agenda include digitalization, full broadband internet access and increased internet usage in public administration, commerce as well as in the political and social sphere. Polish digitalization activities are regulated by the Strategy for the Development of the Information Society in Poland introduced in 2008 and lasting to 2013.
Ogromną rolę w udostępnianiu zasobów kultury za pośrednictwem mediów cyfrowych odgrywają biblioteki cyfrowe. Takie jednostki posiada prawie każda znacząca instytucja kulturalna w Polsce i na świecie. Zgodnie ze swoim podstawowym celem, czyli ochroną i zabezpieczaniem dziedzictwa narodowego, stanowią one platformę dostępu do zdigitalizowanych treści dla wszystkich użytkowników, w tym studentów. Uczelniane biblioteki cyfrowe są ponadto ważnym organem promującym w sieci naukowy dorobek swoich pracowników. Na ich kształt i profil funkcjonowania wpływają, oprócz czynników formalnych, takich jak struktura informatyczno‑technologiczna czy czynniki prawne, także współpraca m.in. z jednostkami uczelni macierzystych – bibliotekami naukowymi. Na przykładzie Pedagogicznej Biblioteki Cyfrowej Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego w Krakowie (unikatowego w Polsce typu dziedzinowej biblioteki cyfrowej) zaprezentowana zostanie rola i działalność biblioteki cyfrowej w tworzeniu wirtualnej platformy dydaktycznej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem promocji przez PBC dorobku naukowego swoich pracowników (wystawy internetowe, materiały pokonferencyjne), a także kontaktów międzynarodowych (kontakty z Biblioteką Publiczną Atatürk Kitaplığı, Stambuł, Turcja).

Digital libraries have a huge role in sharing cultural resources. Digital departments are almost in every significant cultural institution in Poland. All of them have the same primary objective, namely protection and securing the national heritage and serve as an access platform for digitized content for all users, including students. Academic Digital Libraries are also an important tool of promoting the achievements of their employees inside scientific community. Their overall shape and effectiveness is affected by in addition to formal factors such as IT infrastructure, and legal factors, cooperation with University units – institutes, research libraries. Pedagogical Digital Library of Pedagogical University of Cracow was used as an example to present the role and and activities of scientific libraries in creating virtual didactic platform, with particular emphasis on the promotion by PBC’s scientific achievements of its employees (exhibition websites, conference materials), as well as international contacts (contacts with Kitaplığı Atatürk Public Library, Istanbul, Turkey).
