Encyclopaedia Slavica Sanctorum project aims at building a repertoire of medieval and early modern Bulgarian texts for saints in combination with ethnological data and some visual sources. A basic project task is to produce an accessible on-line digital repository of this valuable cultural heritage treasure. The paper presents the Encyclopaedia Slavica
Sanctorum environment, its architecture, functional specification, application modeling process and software implementation. The paper also discusses the
specifics of the ―Encyclop a edia Slavica Sanctorum‖ project and its knowledge
domain. The paper also presents the integration between the Encyclopaedia
Slavica Sanctorum and the Bulgarian Iconographical Digital Library, a digital library keeping rare specimens, private collections of Orthodox icons, wallpaintings and other iconographical objects, selected from difficult-to-access storages, distant churches, chapels, and monasteries, objects in a risk environment or unstable conditions.
Libraries have always been a valuable source of knowledge. The technology evolution transformed the traditional libraries into digital ones which arose the need of efficient serve of the huge amount of information that now exists in the form of digitized content. The focus of the monographic study “Multimedia Digital Library: Constructive Block in Ecosystems for Digital Cultural
Assets. Basic Functionality and Services” is on the search of innovations especially in areas and subareas relevant to digital library data management and processing—innovative and creative tools for approaching cultural assets, applications and services for better access and exploiting of the rich and diverse digital cultural heritage in a sustainable way, intelligent curation, creative use/re-use and remix, reinterpretation, study, understanding, analysis, personalization, adaptation, semantics, etc. The research deals with important issues of handling data directly, affecting the economy (as presented by creative and re-creative industry), the public sector (cultural institutions—museums, libraries, galleries, etc.), education, and society as a whole.
