VI CHAM International Conference "Heritage for a Common Future / Futures for a Common Heritage"
Abstracts submission:
online form (max. 350 words)
Deadline: 06.march-07.april.2023
This
panel is focused on the use of digital methods, techniques and
technologies in cultural heritage (CH), and how they can be applied to
tackle different sorts of research questions and needs.
According to
the UNESCO (2003:75), "digital heritage consists of unique resources of
human knowledge and _expression_", including cultural, scientific, and
educational. Digital resources - such as texts, images, graphics,
databases, and software, among many others - may be born-digital data or
converted into digital form from existing analog resources. “They are
frequently ephemeral, and require purposeful production, maintenance and
management to be retained. Many of these resources have lasting value
and significance, and therefore constitute a heritage that should be
protected and preserved for current and future generations. This
ever-growing heritage may exist in any language, in any part of the
world, and in any area of human knowledge or _expression_."
While much
attention has been drawn in the past several years to the digitization
of material and immaterial CH, as well as to the visualization and
display of digital objects for educational and other dissemination
purposes, less attention has been given to issues related to research
data quality, analysis, preservation, interoperability, and re-use,
among others. Considering this, we welcome presenters working with
digital CH that can showcase multi-, inter-, or transdisciplinary
research projects and case studies, while providing a critical
reflection of their experiences. This panel aims to serve as a launchpad
for a debate on digital CH good practices, concerns, and
potentialities, and how they contribute to and shape research. Topics
might include, but are not limited to:
- Digital data life-cycle
- Data capturing and processing
- FAIR databases
- Research data archives and repositories
- Programming in CH
- Applications of AI, machine learning, and deep learning
- 3D and spectral data
- Computer vision and pattern recognition
- Data segmentation and classification
- Text mining and analysis
- Open Data and Open Science
