The image database REALonline, which is operated and further developed at IMAREAL at the University of Salzburg, was presented by the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport (BMKÖS) as a showcase model for the recording and archiving of cultural heritage. In the Digital Action Plan Austria “Digital Cultural Heritage Strategy – Digital Action Plan Austria”, challenges were summarised and objectives formulated for various fields of action in the digital transformation with the involvement of industry stakeholders and an international panel of experts. The REALonline image database thus offers a good-practice example of the quality standard of cultural heritage data to be strived for.
