The present paper concerns the design of semantic infrastructure digital space for cultural heritage as envisaged by European Commission in its recent documents. Due to complexity data and their intrinsic interrelationships, it is necessary introduce a novel ontology, yet compliant with existing standards interoperable previous platforms used this context, such Europeana. organization must be tailored methods theory heritage, briefly summarized introduction. new ontology based on Digital...
Research e-infrastructures, digital archives, and data services have become important pillars of scientific enterprise that in recent decades ever more collaborative, distributed, intensive. The archaeological research community has been an early adopter tools for acquisition, organization, analysis, presentation results individual projects. However, the provision e-infrastructure sharing, discovery, access, (re)use lagged behind. This situation is being addressed by ARIADNE, Advanced...
<ns3:p>The paper concerns the definition of a novel ontology for cultural heritage based on concept digital twin. The ontology, called Heritage Digital Twin is compatible extension well-known CIDOC CRM ISO standard documentation and incorporates all different systems presently in use documentation. In authors’ view, it supports interoperability at higher level than ones currently enables effective cooperation among users.</ns3:p>
The paper concerns the extension of Heritage Digital Twin Ontology introduced in previous work to describe reactivity digital twins used for cultural heritage documentation by including semantic description sensors and activators all process interacting with real world. After analysing on use heritage, a summary is provided, existing applications are overviewed, references reviews summarizing large production scientific contributions topic. Then novel ontology, named Reactive described,...

Archaeologists regularly deal with large and diverse data sets, which are frequently the only record of excavated destroyed archaeological sites. They need digital research infrastructures to preserve provide access this fragile develop tools manipulate analyse it. Digital is also increasing in quantity size, often born digital, but there a high degree fragmentation difficulty accessing an integrated way. There small growing number national discipline-specific infrastructures, have been few...

Locating archaeological cultures in time and space is a major challenge of archaeolog- ical research. Despite more than century scientific research archaeology, satisfactory solution has yet to be proposed. Past attempts look into the problem focused on sharpening the definition types material culture artefacts, accurate chronological dating of such objects, various probabilistic methods or GIS solution for defining time-space borders of cultures. However, proposed approaches did not...
The paper describes an approach to the documentation of scientific data produced in heritage sciences interdisciplinary research. Since such activities fall within scope a discipline (e.g. physics or chemistry) and cultural heritage, system must draw from both. proposes overarching based on use CIDOC CRM its extensions CRMsci, CRMdig CRMpe model physical digital objects, events activities, actors, i.e. people teams. It is suggested that could address most - if not all issues encountered...
3D-ICONS is a European project which will enhance the content base available to Europeana users through targeted 3D digitization of architectural and archaeological monuments. The "3D Icons" be selected their listing by UNESCO on its World Heritage (WH). aims complement collections are being made accessible via CARARE, Local, Athena other projects have developed for cultural heritage. brought CARARE project, enabling public access complex models increasing critical mass this engaging type content.
This study builds upon the Reactive Heritage Digital Twin paradigm established in prior research, exploring role of artificial intelligence expanding and enhancing its capabilities. After providing an overview ontological model underlying RHDT paradigm, this paper investigates application AI to improve data analysis predictive capabilities Twins synergy with previously defined RHDTO semantic model. The structured nature ontologies is highlighted as essential for enabling AIs operate...
3D cultural objects are digital replicas of having a value, as models artefacts, reconstructions buildings, sites and landscapes. As such, they have twofold nature, inherit properties both from their like the shape texture, content, for instance to be used scholarly purposes or communication public. In some cases, one natures prevails on other. This may case because object is being processed, e.g. visualized computer, scrutinized by heritage scholars review. few others, it unfortunately...
