Abstract. DIGMAP is a project to find solutions for digital libraries scenarios focused on digitised historical maps. The main service will reuse metadata from European national libraries and other relevant third party metadata sources to provide discovery and access to contents. This will also include a proof of concept of a scenario of reusing and enriching these metadata by automatic processes that will try to extract relevant indexing information from the images of the digitised maps, as well as from any kind of associated text.
