Subject: Upcoming event on 3D digital Documentation of the Past: Paradata, Metadata and Data in 3D Cultural Heritage
Dear colleague,
The UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage <https://unescochair-dch.eu/>, in
cooperation with the Earth Observation Research
lab <https://web.cut.ac.cy/eocult/> (EOCult), the Mechanical Engineering Design
& Additive Manufacturing Laboratory at the CY University of Technology, the EU
CLARIAH-CY research infrastructure, the ARTEST <https://artest-project.eu/> and
CREAMS <https://www.creams-project.eu/> projects, the CY-Eureka3D competence
center on Digital Heritage and the EU Project Digital
Europe <https://eureka3d.eu/> EUreka3D <https://eureka3d.eu/> are organising a
unique Webinar dedicated to the topic of Paradata, Metadata and Data in the
domain of 3D digital Documentation in Cultural Heritage.
Since its adoption in 2006 as part of the London Charte r<https://www.london-
charter.org/introduction.html> for the Use of 3D Visualisation in the Research
and Communication of Cultural Heritage as a method for transparency in the
creation of scholarly 3D Cultural Heritage assets, the adoption from
ICOMOS <http://www.icomos.org> of the Seville Charter<https://icomos.es/wp-
content/uploads/2020/06/Seville-Principles-IN-ES-FR.pdf> in 2017, as well as the
approval in 2022 from the European Commission of the EU VIGIE2020/654
Study <https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/study-
quality-3d-digitisation-tangible-cultural-heritage> results on the quality in 3D
digitisation of tangible cultural heritage, as a set of parameters for the
estimation of the complexity in Data Acquisition of tangible objects, the
concept of Paradata has appealed to many aspects of the digital documentation of
the past; from expressing alternative interpretations, probability or confidence
in visual-based heritage research to providing a basis for robust scholarly
interrogation, and from describing workflows, data acquisition methods and
parameters to supporting sustainability and high quality of data and its
preservation approaches.
Now widely seen, along with high quality of metadata and geometrical data, as
part of the trinity that indicates High-Quality 3D digital resources, both for
enriching 3D assets, creating knowledge and promoting reusability, the Digital
Cultural Heritage community still lacks a definitive description and
differentiation of what paradata and metadata are, their benefits are bringing
to the stakeholders, owners, multidisciplinary community and digital
scholarship, as well as to the European Commission Recommendation for the
collection of 3D-digitised cultural heritage assets <https://digital-
strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commission-proposes-common-european-data-space-
cultural-heritage>.
This workshop will bring together professionals from the spectrum of Digital
Cultural Heritage practice to share their experiences of using and working with
paradata seeking to lay down a common understanding of paradata as a first step
towards a community-built set of standards and expectations for its application
to 3D documentation and the creation of knowledge.
If you have worked with paradata and metadata within any 3D Digital Cultural
Heritage context, we cordially invite you to submit an abstract for presentation
at the workshop. Topics under consideration are, but not limited to:
• Case studies of Paradata link to Metadata implementation
• Economic value and impact of paradata,
• How Paradata can help to create high quality of 2D/3D data, as well as
with data preservation,
• Paradata accessibility and discovery methods,
• Paradata as a tool for transparency in scholarly research,
• Paradata for BIM, HBIM, HHBIM in CH,
• Paradata representation in 2D and 3D data acquisitions and
visualisations,
• Standards, Paradata, Metadata, Ontologies and Semantic Processing in
CH,
• Structured paradata approaches,
• The intersection between Paradata, Metadata and Data,
• Tools, practices or solutions supporting paradata recording.
Abstracts should be no larger than one side of A4 and can be submitted via email
to unesco_dch@cut.ac.cy<mailto:unesco_dch@cut.ac.cy> no later than the 29th
March 2024.
Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full papers to a new
open-access publication under the series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science,
Springer-Nature: “3D Research Challenges in Cultural Heritage - Volume V:
Paradata, Metadata and Data in Digitisation".
The registration to the online event, as well as the Gold Open Access book
publication are free of charge and sponsored by the UNESCO Chair on Digital
Cultural Heritage<http://www.unescochair-dch.eu> & the CY-EUreka3D Competence
Center at the Cyprus University of Technology in Limassol<http://www.cut.ac.cy>.
