Abstract
It is necessary to solve interoperability, compatibility of standards and even legal issues to secure aggregation of the digital content on the national level. Activities in the Czech Republic aim to create environment based on open source software to achieve such goals. New tools and systems are developed to secure complex digitization processes including digital data processing, workflow monitoring, archiving and providing access to e-content in digital libraries. It is very cost effective to provide open source solutions for digital data production and dissemination on national level. Usage of the same solutions between culture heritage institutions results also in sharing the same data and metadata standards which is advantage in aggregation process.
