Abstract
This paper presents the SIAR (Sistema Informativo Archivistico Regionale) project supported by the Italian Veneto Region, the aim of which is to design and develop a digital archive system. The main goal of the SIAR project is to develop a system for managing and sharing archive metadata in a distributed environment. In this paper we report the activities that led to the design and development of the SIAR system, underlining the fundamental role played by the user during this process. Indeed, in the SIAR project the archival users provide continuous feedback that allows us to shape the system on a user-needs basis.
