An Inclusive Approach to Digital Heritage: Preliminary Achievements Within the INCEPTION Project
2017
At the end of the second year of activity and after having completed the first steps in the development of its main goals, the project "INCEPTION Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D Semantic Modelling" is now facing different challenging actions starting from already developed advancement in 3D data capturing. Semantic modelling for Cultural Heritage buildings in H-BIM environment and the development of the INCEPTION platform for deployment and valorisation of enriched 3D models will allow accomplishing the main objectives of accessing, understanding and strengthening European cultural heritage. In this direction, the approach and the methodology for semantic organization and data management toward H-BIM modelling will be presented, as well as a preliminary nomenclature for semantic enrichment of heritage 3D models. According to the overall INCEPTION workflow, the H-BIM modelling procedure starts with documenting user needs, including experts and non-experts. ...
ONB Labs - An Open Digital Hub of Cultural Heritage
2019
Historical research practices are being gradually transformed by the digitization of historic sources on the one hand, and the usage of digital methods and semantic technologies on the other. We present two digital initiatives of the Austrian National Library, ANNO and ONB Labs, which, as a digital hub of cultural heritage, enhances accessibility to and knowledge discovery within historical datasets considerably. To do so, ÖNB provides resources such raw data, metadata, or Linked Open Datasets which can be accessed as data dump or via a SPARQL API, allowing for live querying of RDF datasets. ONB Labs, additionally, offers services, tools, and APIs to enrich this data such as IIIF, Open Annotations, SACHA, or Jupyter Notebooks which allow to create and share documents including live code, visualizations and narrative texts. In this demopaper, we explore the question how digital methods and semantic technologies can be used in the context of historical research and illustrate their ap...

The development of global information infrastructure for digital cultural heritage is a key to ensuring the openness and accessibility of objects of such heritage on a global scale, increasing the economic, social and cultural impact of the created resources and services, and more efficiently addressing social priorities. Author shows that documentation systems play an important unifying role in the modern world of information infrastructure for digital cultural heritage. The diversity of information resources requires further study and classification , which is also necessary for more detailed documentation and cataloging of these resources. The development of systems for documenting information resources for digital cultural heritage on a global scale is continuing and has great potential in terms of systematizing data on information resources. This article examines the current state of information infrastructure for digital cultural heritage, identifies primary components and discusses their significance, determining obstacles to the formation of this infrastructure, and tracing the development of the digital cultural heritage infrastructure.
E-heritage: the future for integrated applications in cultural heritage
2003
A number of factors are combining to change the structure and contents of documentation of cultural heritage: 1) the exponential growth in data generated by imaging techniques makes it possible for a site or an artifact to be recorded at a resolution of over 16 megapixels and at a density of several hundred million cloud points; 2) high-resolution imaging is becoming more affordable and/or available; 3) the economics and legal constraints of conservation practice are gradually pushing towards more stringent documentation standards; 4) improved communications infrastructure and mobile computing facilities are changing the way that data is recorded, processed, stored and -inevitably -used; 5) increasingly available computerized expert systems will be integrated into the very systems that conservators and documentation specialists carry around with them or access on a daily basis; 6) the advent of web-based systems will afford super-computer processing power and large-system database handling to the documentation specialist and the conservator in the field and permit greater flexibility for teleworking; 7) Computerised Project-based Management techniques will gradually spread from the realm of large institutions to SME's and individual practitioners making digital image processing in architecture and archaeology more akin to the exchange of engineering drawings in automobile design industry. 8) The availability of cheap local or distributed processing power means that most of the above advantages will be present in both developed and developing countries. This paper explores. e-heritage as an integrated project which aims at providing a seamless yet structurally and inherently up-gradeable technological platform for all activities within cultural heritage conservation and management

The increasing application of digital technologies to cultural heritage (CH) is wide and well documented, including a variety of tools such as digital archives, online guides and HBIM repositories. Several vocabularies and ontologies were designed to order heritage data and make CH more accessible and exploitable. However, these tools have often focused on a particular dimension of CH producing high value in separate sectors (e.g. access to conservation of historic buildings and data valorisation for restoration of heritage assets) but lacking ways for adapting or replicating the model to urban complex systems. Moreover, many studies and tools show large effort in cataloguing and archiving, but less in providing tools for designing and managing. The ROCK platform, developed within the Horizon 2020 (H2020) funded project ROCK (GA 730280), addresses the need for a management and interventionoriented interoperable tool, aimed at storing, visualizing, elaborating and linking data on cul...

Responsible use of cultural heritage requires networking of different research approaches and documentation techniques from different disciplines, as well as, the appropriate preservation and multi-functional availability of research data. Furthermore, the provision of information and the transfer of knowledge to the public are also indispensable for social acceptance and responsible and conscious handling of cultural heritage. Especially, with extensive collaborative research, this can lead to major challenges due to different data formats and requirements for the analysis and provision of data. It is, therefore, useful to first identify requirements on an informed basis. For this purpose, we demonstrate the handling of data from a research network based on the ancient cultural heritage in Trier (Germany) through a virtual museum. This museum splits into three levels of metadata abstraction and is represented by three parts: an entrance through a web front-end, a 3D museum’s lobby,...
