In our days, when nearly every cultural institution has a website, it is time to focus on quality. Quality does not only depend on technology, it is equally connected with well organized content, continuous maintenance and the monitoring of user needs. The EU-funded Minerva project defines ten quality principles for cultural sites. Sites should be transparent, effective, maintained, accessible, user-centered, responsive, multi-lingual, interoperable, managed and preserved. In March 2005, a quality test was carried out among six Hungarian cultural sites at the request of the Minerva working group on the quality of websites. All the examined websites have proved highly accessible and effective. However, the general challenges for the tested sites were the following: 1. Mission statement missing, or not on the front page 2. Crumbtrail, or sitemap missing 3. Multilingual equals with bilingual 3. Users are not involved by the planning 4. User-forums are missing 5. Problems with using metadata standards and OAI-PMH protocols 6. Media migration plan and disaster recovery plan are missing.

In our days, the importance of making valuable cultural content available on the Internet is increasing. Cultural institutions need to adapt to new user needs. The Minerva project - that Hungary joined from 2004 - was launched in order to coordinate and support digitisation activities at the European level. The project is based on the Lund Principles that were published in 2001. The programme of the project is known as the Lund Action Plan. The implementation itself started in 2002. For the supervision of the implementation of the principles, a permanent committee called the National Representatives Group was formed with the participation of experts from the member states. The individual tasks are carried out by international working groups that support the digitisation of cultural content by elaborating standards and guidelines. Hungary joined the MinervaPlus initiative in 2004 and its current involvement includes a study on the use of European multi-language websites and thesauri. The results show that 30,1% of the cultural websites in Europe are still published in one language only, 43,2% of them are bilingual and 26,7% are in multiple languages. The second or third language is most often English. There are 31 controlled vocabularies in the records so far. The final analysis of the results is expected in November 2004, after the meeting of the working group.

The project is being carried out in the framework of a ministerial network and funded by the European Commission. The steering body of the project is the National Representatives Group (NRG) that assembles twice a year during each presidency. The current article presents the aims and functions of the NRG.
