Digitization and digital dissemination of monuments

Digitization, Visualization and Digital Dissemination of Monuments and Sites

DESCRIPTION

The main task of the working group is the creation of a comprehensive repository system that will enable the storage of extensive archeological records of monuments and sites. In this context “monuments and sites” are objects which can be a single archeological find, a building, as well as an archeological site. The repository will provide storage for different types of data, from text, image and film documents, though geophysical data, and 3D scans, integrated spatial geoinformation and archeoinformation data. One of the challenges that the group is facing is the adoption and implementation of an appropriate standard system for data and metadata acquisition, recording, archiving and dissemination, which will enable the usage of different types of data for a comprehensive description of a particular monument or site.

The group will work in close cooperation with European institutions and networks, among others with those associated in ARIADNE and members of DARIAH EU.

Both the infrastructure and the tools which will result from the group’s work shall be, when possible, shared with all anyone interested. All work shall be coordinated with the activities of other working groups with DARIAH-PL consortium and DARIAH ERIC.
