• The problem with search engines: – You need to know precisely what you are looking for;

– It’s difficult to do multiple criteria search (country, language, artistic field, type of info, etc.)

• Outdated content and up-to-date, interesting content are tangled and form a jumble in the vastness of the web

• The information is displayed according to the sites’ / content’s popularity and the language of the search, but few cultural organizations have the necessary resources to rank up their popularity or to translate their content in several languages. How to get visible with few financial resources to rank up in the search results ?
