On

   2008,	
   the	
   ADVN

  as	
  a

  foundation	
  linked	
  to

  (EFA/ALE)	
  and	
  with	
  the	
  support	
  of	
  the	
  European	
  Parliament,	
  CMC	
  
began	
  its	
  autonomous	
  journey	
  by	
  trying	
  to	
  provide	
  favourable	
  arguments	
  
to	
   the	
  political	
  and

As	
  for	
  instance	
  with	
  DILINAME,	
  the	
  Digital	
  Library	
  on	
  National	
  Movements	
  
in	
  Europe,	
  a	
  project	
  proposed	
  by	
  the	
  Fundación	
  Galiza	
  Sempre	
   in	
  2009.	
  
The	
   objective	
   is	
   to	
   ‘collect,	
   translate	
   and	
   host	
   on	
   the	
   web	
   programs,	
  
manifestos	
  and	
  documents	
  collecting	
  the	
  background,	
  history	
  and	
  goals	
  of	
  
socio-­‐political	
   movements	
   of	
   the	
   protectors	
   of	
   the	
   rights	
   of	
   European	
  
stateless	
  nations’,	
  aiming,	
  initially,	
  at	
  three	
  kinds	
  of	
  texts:	
  ‘Programmatic	
  
documents	
   (historic	
   and	
   current);	
   internationalist	
   manifestos	
   and	
  
initiatives;	
  and	
  global	
  justice	
  proposals.’	
  From	
  the	
  outset,	
  the	
  initiative	
  had	
  
two	
  main	
  objectives:	
  on	
   the	
  one	
  hand	
   the	
   facilitation	
  of	
  access	
   to	
  basic	
  
political	
   texts	
   and	
   programmes	
   by	
   the	
   European	
   nationalist,	
   regionalist	
  
and	
   independentist	
   movements	
   promoting	
   exchange	
   and	
   mutual	
  
understanding,	
   and	
   on	
   the	
   other	
   hand	
   the	
   provision	
   of	
   a	
   resource	
   in	
  
support	
  of	
  educational,	
  fact-­‐finding	
  and	
  research	
  activities.	
  	
  

About	
  DILINAME	
  

The	
   actual	
   development	
   of	
   this	
   digital	
  
project	
   started	
   in	
   the	
   second	
   half	
   of	
  
2010,	
   with	
   the	
   primary	
   objective	
   of	
  
gathering	
   and	
   providing	
   relevant	
  
documents,	
   historical	
   and	
   current	
   alike,	
  
relating	
  to	
  the	
  creation,	
  evolution,	
   ideas	
  
behind	
   and	
   contribution	
   by	
   socio-­‐
political	
   proposals	
   on	
   the	
   part	
   of	
   the	
  
movements	
   of	
   stateless	
   nations	
  
assembled	
   in	
   CMC.	
   DILINAME	
   is	
   not	
  

directed	
   at	
   the	
   publication	
   of	
   extensive	
   essays	
   or	
   complex	
   texts,	
   but	
  
instead	
   gathers	
   manifestos,	
   declarations	
   of	
   ideological	
   and	
   political	
  
principles,	
  foundational	
  texts	
  of	
  movements	
  and	
  parties,	
  important	
  letters,	
  
news	
  articles,	
  relevant	
  speeches,	
  and	
  so	
  on.	
  This	
   is	
  why	
  DILINAME	
  was	
  
founded	
  first	
  of	
  all	
  as	
  an	
  outreach	
  project,	
  targeting	
  the	
  general	
  public	
  in

order	
   to	
   raise	
   awareness	
   of	
   the	
   movements	
   and	
   to	
   disseminate	
   their	
  
history	
  and	
  activities.	
  However,	
   it	
   is	
  also	
  aimed	
  at	
  the	
  academic	
  field	
  as	
  
well	
   as	
   political	
   foundations	
   and	
   various	
   forums	
   assisting	
   with	
   the	
  
comparative	
   study,	
   at	
   least	
   at	
   an	
   early	
   stage,	
   of	
   independentist	
   and	
  
nationalist	
  democratic	
  movements	
  on	
  a	
  European	
  level.	
  A	
  third,	
  additional	
  
goal	
  would	
  be	
  to	
  improve	
  knowledge	
  on	
  other	
  issues	
  among	
  the	
  different	
  
stateless	
  nations.	
  

An	
   Internet	
   portal	
   (www.diliname.eu)	
   was	
   created	
   to	
   present	
   the	
  
documents.	
   Their	
   categorisation	
   was	
   in	
   the	
   first	
   place	
   based	
   on	
   their	
  
nation	
  of	
  origin;	
  they	
  were	
  subsequently	
  structured	
  with	
  the	
  help	
  of	
  many	
  
other	
  criteria	
  and	
  were	
  accompanied	
  by	
  a	
  catalogue	
  file	
  referencing	
  the	
  
date,	
  author,	
  subject,	
  and	
  so	
  on.	
  The	
  portal,	
  in	
  short,	
  constitutes	
  a	
  public	
  
area	
  in	
  which	
  information	
  resources	
  can	
  be	
  displayed	
  in	
  different	
  viewing	
  
formats,	
   integrated	
   in	
   a	
   database	
   and	
   ranked	
   by	
   metadata	
   series	
   that	
  
correspond	
  to	
  a	
  bibliographic	
  record,	
  in	
  this	
  case	
  a	
  digital	
  one.	
  

In	
  its	
  internal	
  architecture,	
  the	
  portal	
  always	
  uses	
  free	
  and/or	
  open-­‐source	
  
software,	
  selecting	
  as	
  main	
  tools	
  the	
  content	
  management	
  system	
  Joomla!	
  
and	
  the	
  K2	
  component,	
  which	
  publishes	
  documents	
  simply	
  in	
  Joomla!	
  but	
  
with	
  more	
  information	
  fields	
  and	
  other	
  accessories,	
  required	
  to	
  obtain	
  a	
  
minimum	
  bibliographic	
  order	
  and	
  more	
  useful	
  cataloguing.	
  Although	
  the	
  
early	
  results	
  are	
  already	
  made	
  public,	
  as	
  the	
  library	
  acquires	
  more	
  content,	
  
search	
  engines	
  will	
  be	
  implemented	
  that	
  both	
  allow	
  general	
  searches	
  (a	
  
phrase,	
  a	
  name,	
  text)	
  or	
  searches	
  limited	
  to	
  different	
  criteria	
  (metadata)	
  on	
  
which	
  the	
  library	
  is	
  structured	
  (title,	
  author,	
  category,	
  time,	
  date,	
  origin,	
  
keywords,	
  description,	
  context,	
  and	
  so	
  on).	
  

English	
  has	
  been	
  chosen	
  as	
  the	
  vehicular	
  language	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  facilitate	
  the	
  
study	
  of	
  texts	
  from	
  varied	
  geographical	
  and	
  linguistic	
  areas.	
  However,	
  as	
  
the	
   languages	
   originally	
   used	
   are	
   equally	
   valuable,	
   it	
   was	
   decided	
   to	
  
publish	
  the	
  different	
  documents	
  in	
  three	
  formats:	
  

1. Online	
  format:	
  a	
  complete	
  English	
  translation	
  of	
  each	
  document	
  for	
  
quick	
  on-­‐screen	
  viewing;	
  

2. Corporate	
  format:	
  a	
  typeset	
  document	
  in	
  accordance	
  with	
  the	
  CMC	
  
stylebook,	
   downloadable	
   in	
   pdf	
   format.	
   This	
   format	
   is	
   available	
  
both	
  in	
  English	
  and	
  in	
  the	
  original	
  language	
  of	
  the	
  document;

  that	
  is

  of

In

-­‐ Keywords	
  (a

In	
  addition,	
  each	
  complete	
  document	
  is	
  preceded	
  by	
  both	
  a	
  concise	
  text	
  
explaining	
  the	
  historical	
  and	
  socio-­‐political

  in	
  which	
  the	
  document	
  
was	
  drafted,	
  and	
  a	
  summary	
  of	
  its	
  contents.	
  With	
  a	
  defined	
  minimum	
  and	
  
maximum	
  length,	
  these	
  two	
  texts	
  provide	
  an	
  adequate	
  first	
  impression.	
  

A	
  networked	
  library	
  

To	
  obtain	
  the	
  documents,	
  an	
  integrated	
  network	
  has	
  been	
  created,	
  with	
  a	
  
liaison	
   for	
   each	
   of	
   the	
   CMC	
   members.	
   This	
   contact	
   is	
   responsible	
   for	
  
coordinating	
  his/her	
  own	
  team	
  for	
  the	
  selection	
  –	
  with	
  academic	
  advice	
  –	
  
of	
  the	
  documents	
  and	
  finally	
  for	
  formatting	
  the	
  contents	
  to	
  the	
  said	
  criteria	
  
in	
  order	
  to	
  be	
  published	
  by	
  DILINAME.

  the

required	
  format,	
  will	
  manage	
  the	
  network.	
  The	
  actual	
  content	
  contribution	
  
is	
  carried	
  out	
  either	
  by	
  using	
  a	
  restricted	
  access	
  form	
  on	
  the	
  web,	
  or	
  by	
  
sending	
  them	
  directly	
  to	
  the	
  coordinator.	
  

The	
  project	
  is	
  now	
  in	
  the	
  early	
  stages	
  of	
  having	
  the	
  documents	
  catalogued,	
  
both	
  by	
  origin	
  and	
  by	
  date	
  and	
  subject.	
  To	
  facilitate	
  this	
  and	
  allow	
  texts	
  to	
  
be	
   available	
   for	
   comparative	
   study	
   right	
   from	
   the	
   start,	
   DILINAME	
  
requests	
   texts	
   acquired	
   from	
   network	
   members	
   to	
   answer	
   to	
   a	
   basic	
  
number	
  of	
  arrangement	
  criteria.	
  Thus,	
  to	
  meet	
  the	
  library’s	
  first	
  objective	
  
a	
  simple	
  time	
  criterion	
  was	
  established	
  (documents	
  from	
  the	
  nineteenth	
  
century	
  or	
  earlier;	
  documents	
  from	
  the	
  first	
  half	
  of	
  the	
  twentieth	
  century;	
  
and	
  documents	
  from	
  the	
  second	
  half	
  of	
  the	
  twentieth	
  century	
  onwards),	
  as	
  
well	
  as	
  a	
  thematic	
  one	
  (foundation	
  documents;	
  documents	
  symbolising	
  the	
  
ideological-­‐programmatic	
   developments	
   of	
   the	
   national	
   movement	
   in	
  
question;	
  and	
  documents	
  representing	
  the	
  current	
  political	
  alternatives).

Of	
   course,	
   all	
   the	
   documents	
   to	
   be	
   included	
   in	
   DILINAME	
   should	
   be	
   of	
  
recognised	
  importance	
  and	
  have	
  a	
  contrasted	
  academic	
  endorsement,	
   in	
  
addition	
  to	
  the	
  selection	
  criterion,	
  while	
  their	
  importance	
  should	
  be	
  nation	
  
wide	
  and	
  not	
  concerning	
  any	
  limited	
  party	
  political	
  subject.	
  

In	
  addition,	
  with	
  the	
  English	
  translations	
  managed	
  by	
  DILINAME	
  and	
  CMC,	
  
translators	
  should	
  take	
  special	
  care	
  while	
  dealing	
  with	
  political	
  terms	
  as	
  
well	
  as	
   terminology	
  related	
  to	
   identity	
  and	
  other	
   topics	
   that	
  may	
  cause	
  
confusion	
   by	
   having	
   different	
   meanings	
   in	
   different	
   geographical	
   areas.	
  
Hence,	
  it	
  is	
  the	
  intention	
  to	
  establish	
  translation	
  standards	
  in	
  this	
  specific	
  
field.	
  

Evolution	
  and	
  challenges	
  

Right	
  from	
  the	
  start	
  DILINAME	
  was	
  intended	
  as	
  a	
  collaborative	
  network	
  
project,	
   in	
   which	
   the	
   involvement	
   and	
   resources	
   of	
   the	
   different	
  
foundations	
  that	
  make	
  up	
  CMC	
  is	
  key,	
  because	
  these	
  organisations	
  will	
  be	
  
constructing	
   the	
   library	
  with	
   their	
  contributions.	
  As	
  DILINAME	
  plans	
   to	
  
reflect	
  the	
  historical	
  developments	
  and	
  extremely	
  diverse	
  issues	
  contained	
  
in	
   the	
   texts	
   that	
   are	
   often	
   difficult	
   to	
   understand	
   outside	
   their	
   original	
  
areas,	
   it	
   cannot	
   be	
   a	
   centralised	
   project.	
   This	
   valuable	
   cooperation	
   and	
  
collective	
   endeavour,	
   by	
   its	
   decentralised	
   nature,	
   however	
   also	
   causes	
  
some	
  delays	
  when	
  trying	
  at	
  the	
  same	
  time	
  to	
  reach	
  both	
  the	
  qualitative	
  
and	
  quantitative	
  objectives	
  set	
  by	
  the	
   library.	
  Therefore	
  the	
  project	
  will	
  
sometimes	
   have	
   to	
   change	
   its	
   objectives	
   and	
   deadlines	
   to	
   adapt	
   to	
   the	
  
possibilities	
  offered	
  by	
  each	
  of	
  the	
  different	
  sources	
  of	
  information.	
  

In	
  addition,	
  DILINAME	
  also	
  faces	
  cataloguing	
  difficulties,	
  especially	
  in	
  the	
  
field	
  of	
  categorising	
  the	
  types	
  of	
  documents,	
  the	
  work	
  to	
  standardise	
  key	
  
words	
   or	
   the	
   translation	
   of	
   terms	
   and	
   concepts	
   that	
   can	
   bear	
   different	
  
interpretations	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  the	
  diversity	
  among	
  national	
  movements	
  and	
  
their	
  history.	
  These	
  are	
  in	
  fact	
  issues	
  that	
  will	
  be	
  rectified;	
  the	
  library	
  will	
  
grow	
  and,	
  therefore,	
  result	
  in	
  a	
  broader	
  view	
  of	
  their	
  needs.	
  

At	
  the	
  end	
  of	
  2012,	
  the	
  library	
  had	
  published	
  and	
  translated	
  thirty-­‐three	
  
documents	
   in	
   full,	
   as	
   well	
   as	
   forty	
   corporate	
   documents	
   and

originals.	
   It	
   also	
   holds	
   more	
   than	
   twenty	
   texts	
   on	
   which	
   work	
   is	
   in	
  
progress,	
   though	
   for	
   various	
   reasons	
   they	
   have	
   not	
   yet	
   been	
   published	
  
(whether	
  because	
  they	
  are	
  incomplete,	
  due	
  to	
  difficulties	
  encountered	
  in	
  
their	
   translation,	
   an	
   insufficiently	
   commensurate	
   number	
   of	
   papers	
  
published	
   from	
   each	
   nation	
   or	
   region	
   involved,	
   and	
   so	
   on).	
   At	
   present,	
  
there	
  are	
  documents	
  from	
  Aragon,	
  the	
  Basque	
  Country,	
  Catalonia,	
  Corsica,	
  
Galicia,	
  Macedonia,	
  Transylvania	
  and	
  Wales,	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  a	
  selection	
  of	
  texts	
  
at	
  a	
  European	
  and	
   international	
   level	
  relating	
   to	
   the	
  collective	
  rights	
  of	
  
peoples.	
  

And	
  yet,	
  a	
  lot	
  remains	
  to	
  be	
  added.	
  Among	
  DILINAME’s	
  most	
  immediate	
  
objectives	
   is	
   guaranteeing	
   the	
   presence	
   of	
   texts	
   from	
   the	
   national	
  
movements	
  represented	
  within	
  CMC	
  that	
  are	
  not	
  yet	
  present	
  in	
  the	
  library	
  
(this	
   goes	
   for	
   the	
   Balearic	
   Islands,	
   Kurdistan,	
   Flanders,	
   Sardinia	
   or	
  
Brittany),	
   as	
   well	
   as	
   to	
   complete	
   a	
   number	
   of	
   documents	
   and	
   topics	
  
handled	
  from	
  those	
  already	
  included.	
  

In	
   the	
   more	
   distant	
   future,	
   the	
   publication	
   of	
   texts	
   from	
   many	
   other	
  
national	
   movements	
   also	
   outside	
   CMC	
   could	
   be	
   carried	
   out,	
   to	
   make	
  
DILINAME	
   a	
   reference	
   tool	
   for	
   the	
   dissemination	
   and	
   study	
   of	
  
emancipatory	
  movements	
  fighting	
  for	
  the	
  collective	
  rights	
  of	
  nations	
  and	
  
regions	
  in	
  Europe.3
