This partnership with Wikimedia Italy further demonstrates that standardization of professional profiles initiated by IWA in patterns CEN is now the way forward for profiling digital skills. This is also demonstrated by the recent quotation of such profiles within the Guidelines for digital skills and certification activities according to UNI 11506 made by other associations working in the field that are in the Web profiles coordinated by IWA an essential reference. Now to conclude the activities do not miss the national standards UNI: 2015 is the year when, finally, you have the technical standards for the definition of profiles for ICT (according to CEN CWA 16458), as well as industry standards required by law 4/2013.

The publication of the profile Wikipedians is very interesting, as, for example, the growing interest of the museums to be found on Wikipedia , which is in addition to the desired publication in a free form of the contents of museums themselves. The Wikipedians can and must support not only museums but also such companies, institutions, such as parks, which have stock photos and they can post their pictures and other content with open licenses.
