        BACKGROUND

        The TECUP (= Testbed implementation of the European
        Copyright User Platform) project is funded by DG XIII of the
        European Commission. It started at the beginning of this year
        and will run until the end of 2000. It evolved out of ECUP
        (European Copyright User Platform). 

        TECUP is a meta-project, which will gather information on,
        analyse and evaluate projects of different kinds concerning
        digital uses. It tries to identify business and usage models,
        that are regarded best in meeting the needs and interests of
        users, providers and rights owners.

        One of the main aims of TECUP is to bring together
        representatives of all the major players in the value chain.
        The project partners represent libraries, publishers and
        collecting societies from across Europe. 

        About 70 projects have been selected by TECUP as relevant
        and a shorter list of projects is being drawn up for further
        study. A number of projects have been identified as being of
        special interest. They could offer an example of good
        practice in providing and controlling access to digital
        documents. 

        We invite you to participate in the workshop and to take
        part in the discussion.
