Content
Culture.si offers four major services: an up to date Address book, images and logo collectionc for download and re-use according to their specific licences, calendar of international events, and referential articles on Slovene culture.
Articles
Over 3,000 articles, complete with profiles and contacts, are continuously updated and complemented. Each article is edited and proofread for English, providing also referential translations of the names of Slovene cultural organisations and institutions.
They are tagged with over 400 different categories so that many useful lists can be obtained, for example: Brass band music, Comic art exhibition organisers, Cultural management web resources, Dance residencies, Embassies and consulates in Slovenia, Film periodicals, Literature venues, Museum libraries, Music festival organisers, New media art festivals, Recording studios, Theatre research, Visual arts awards, etc.
Worldwide events from Slovenia
Culture.si publishes a calendar of previously unavailable announcements of cultural events from Slovenia happening around the world and offers information on the main international events in Slovenia with links to relevant articles and selected external links on programmes. The lists of events by field are displayed on thematic portal pages.
Photo and logo collections
In Slovenia the photo collection of Culture.si is the fastest growing independent resource of free images that are available for further use, also for commercial purposes. They have been obtained from Slovene producers and institutions, from Slovene photographers individually and via Slovenia Press Photo Festival, or taken by the Culture.si team, while some were found on the Internet (free licences).
The logos are provided by their owners, preferably in a vector format. They are available for download and can be used with the permission by their owners if properly attributed (licence CC BY-ND 2.5). This collection is a practical resource for cultural operators and publishers as well as a unique showcase of Slovene visual communications design.
Address book
Culture.si provides updated contacts (addresses, telephone and fax numbers, e-mails and web addresses) that can be searched by the region, discipline or type (producers, venues, festivals etc.).
Background
Culture.si portal is based on the experience with the Cultural Profiles databases project initiated and managed by Visiting Arts, conceived by Tim Doling, Managing Editor, and developed by Librios Ltd. From 2002 till 2008 the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia in partnership with the British Council Slovenia actively supported the establishment and maintenance of the Slovenia Cultural Profile, a comprehensive English-language guide to culture in Slovenia, aimed at both cultural professionals and the general public. The publication Slovenia Cultural Profile, based on the database, was issued in 2004 and 2008.
The collection of data that had been compiled and developed for the Slovenia Cultural Profile with financial support from the Ministry of Culture provided the basis for the newly organised, updated, and redesigned MediaWiki Culture.si database.
Semantic MediaWiki cultural portal
In 2009 the Ministry of Culture initiated its own cultural portal for those seeking international cooperation with Slovenia called Culture.si. This flexible public database providing for the needs of the cultural sphere, built with semantic web principles, using open source and open formats, was developed by Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab (2009–2010). Based on the Ministry of Culture's open call for the maintenance and development of the portal for the period 2011–2014, the project has been managed by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory since 2011. Portal Culture.si is funded by the Ministry of Culture.
Mission
Culture.si hopes to broaden and promote international cultural cooperation, as well as knowledge and recognition of Slovene culture.
User groups
There are several different groups which can benefit from the information offered by Culture.si. Although primarily designed to meet the needs of culture professionals, Culture.si also caters to researchers, students, artists, tourists and anyone looking for information on Slovene cultural institutions, organisations, producers, venues, festivals, heritage, funding, education, support services, etc. Culture professionals may benefit from thorough and regularly updated address books, timeline charts prepared for research purposes, and image and logo banks for easy incorporation into publications. Students of culture may benefit from lists of educational possibilities in Slovenia. Any material found on this portal may be used based on the specified terms.
