Introduction

ARROW, the acronym for Accessible Registries of Rights Information and Orphan Works towards Europeana, is a project of a consortium of European national libraries, publishers and collective management organisations, also representing writers – working through their main European associations and a number of national organisations – which was launched in November 2008 and will last for 30 months. ARROW is one of the projects selected among 102 ones presented in 2007 at the European Commissions eContentplus Programme which seeks to help make digital content in Europe more accessible, usable and exploitable.
