Cultural Heritage (CH) is a vast domain, where sharing information is challenging. As a result, the global CH is distributed and heterogeneous. In this paper, we present the concept of the Web of Data as an approach to integrating CH collections. We introduce the CHoWDer (Cultural Heritage on the Web of Data) model, the simple model designed to illustrate how easily CH institutions can particip...

We propose a new area to focus upon as a research challenge: How to use personalized technology to connect our cultural heritage experiences to our "daily" lives. In particular we want to connect the visitor's museum experiences with outside relevant mobile cultural heritage experiences. We begin to examine what processes and technologies will be necessary to accomplish the when, what and how o...

In this short position paper, we present the idea concerning the utility and makeup of an application to collect cultural heritage experiences. We take a short look at what has been done in this area both from a lifelong cultural heritage perspective and that of timelines and memory logging visualization. The features for such an application and possible visualizations are discussed. In additio...

We present a review of recent techniques for performing geometric analysis in cultural heritage applications. The survey is aimed at researchers in the areas of computer graphics, computer vision, and cultural heritage computing, as well as to scholars and practitioners in the cultural heritage field. The problems considered include shape perception enhancement, restoration and preservation sup...

Cultural Heritage and Tourism Development may be strong driving factors for local policies and may have great importance in strategic decision making at territorial level; then, they may be important subjects for eParticipation studies. But this paper demonstrates, through a literature review, that today’s disciplinary shape of eParticipation as a research field is not suitable to effectively i...

This chapter introduces digital libraries as a means of cultural heritage access and diffusion. It argues that digital libraries, combined with superimposed information techniques, offers a potentially more substantive approach to understanding the historical documentation analysis problem. Furthermore, the authors hope that understanding the documental and technological assumptions constructs ...

This article discusses the opportunities and challenges of applying modern information retrieval techniques to the cultural heritage domain. Although the fi eld of information retrieval is closely associated with computer science, it originally emerged from library science — also one of the main disciplines concerned with access to cultural heritage material. Hence we are, in a sense, exploring...

1. Cultural heritage problems share many characteristics with problems encountered in environmental economics. Many of the services provided may not enter markets, or do so only indirectly and imperfectly. And many benefits are wholly intangible. Moreover, the nature of the benefits provided by cultural heritage sites is conceptually very similar to those provided by, for example, national park...

The presentation of cultural heritage is difficult comprehensive and constantly updated topic. Researchers often focus more on the different techniques to digitize artifacts of cultural heritage. This work focuses on the overall shape and structure of future multimedia application whose specificity is determined by the topic Odrysian kingdom. Below is presented a concept for structure and conte...
