What is digital discoverability?
Discoverability of content in the digital environment refers to:
- Its availability online
- Its ability to be spotted among a vast array of other content without the search being specifically for that content.
The notion of discoverability is essential in a digital ecosystem characterized by the hyper-abundance of supply, the concentration of distribution on some major platforms and the role of recommendation mechanisms in access to cultural content.
The scope of the sectors selected includes audiovisual, cinema, live performance in all its disciplines, music in all its components (including instrumental construction), museums and heritage (including archival heritage), visual arts, design, architecture, crafts, video games, books, the press. The related communication and fashion sectors may also be eligible for the creative component of their activity.
