VI CHAM International Conference "Heritage for a Common Future / Futures for a Common Heritage"

Panel #P05. Digitization of Cultural Heritage and Heritagisation of the Digital: practices, concerns, and potentialities

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
