The digitization of Cultural Heritage assumes an interdisciplinary approach, collaborative knowledge co-creation, and distant communication. This can only be fulfilled by ICT means requiring in turn alignment between those who deliver the technical (IT) support and those who are in the role users. A Service-Oriented approach is considered adequate in this regard because of users’ composing services at high level (with underlying technical complexity remaining hidden) and developers’ considering the software components whose functionality is delivered through the services. All this requires however complex regulations to conform with. Semiotic norms in combination with workflows are considered in this regard. In this paper, we propose an approach based on Service-Oriented Computing and Organizational Semiotics, directed to Cultural Heritage digitization. The approach is partially illustrated by means of an example.

The purpose of this article is to describe the phenomenon of utility books for children and youth in the second half of the 19th century, based on “Bibliografia polska XIX stulecia” by Karol Estreicher. Twenty five tomes were reviewed, with the relevant materials divided into three sections: “games and plays”, “teaching good behaviour”, “home readings”. Each section was further divided typologically, allowing for a thorough analysis of editions and determining elements that were typical, repeatable or unconventional in form and content. The kind of function the genre fulfilled was determined, along with the form in which it was published and the ideas it conveyed. The dynamics of publishing production development of these publications over the relevant 50 years was analysed, covering both the phenomenon as a whole and individual genres. Statistical problems of publishers and printing offices and the changes in format and artwork were also presented.

Reading has been deeply rooted in Polish tradition and culture. Among the most-popular reading practices of the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century were community readings and oral readings. The oral readings were common for all social class families, and they were a popular method of contact with literature. The community readings integrated participants and enabled individuals to share their impressions with others. Unlike the community readings, silent readings were private and intimate. In the art from this period, we find pictorial representations of different literary activities. Late 19th century and early 20th century paintings portray young readers, engaged both in community and individual readings. Iconography proves an important place of books in the lives of teenage boys and girls, and is a source which complements the documentation of readership in the written sources.

These examples show that the archive workers need to be more informed and cautious when aquiring documents in the archive. Now the archive workers have the opportunity to meet with other and different data carriers (optical, magnetic, laser, etc.), and not just written on paper or on microfilm. All this from the archive requires workers to be more persistent, organized and pervasive in their demands to society in order to fight for more adequate, more serious and better status of archival service. Historical archive Sarajevo is still most often been in a position to take over current records of orderly funds. It is the success of "external services", as well as other employees of the Archives. This is confirmed by the fact that of the 617 funds, as there are Archive, 57 funds is partially arranged, and only 41 fund is disorderly. In addition it should be remembered that there is a change (enlargement) of the term "tidy fund", mainly due to the new way of administrative business and new ways of processing documents, and the creation of new forms of documents. It requires from archival workers to work on their training for work with this type of documentation, as well as to create conditions for the processing of such documents and their storage. Moving forward it is possible to make efforts to change the legislation so that it was really a function of protection of archives. this mozerno achieved only if we fight for adequate treatment and status of archival service in the company.

The article is focused on the Images of Saints in one Cyrillic old printed book edited in Rome by the catholic bishop Philip Stanislavov for Bulgarian people. There are interesting sequences of images found there for the first time. They form different cycles – a catholic Rosary of the Virgin (saints and their feasts in May) and All Year Folk Calendar with its beginning also in May. It should be noticed that there is also one other Year Calendar, based on the Gregorian one and constructed according to the Bulgarian folklore perception. The content of the article is built upon the dichotomy between text and image. In that context some of the engravings have been analyzed semantically, to discover the relation between Abagar and Bulgarian Folklore provided with the mediation of hagiography, South Slav's apocryphal tradition and also with universal symbols.
