Project description
ICT for culture heritage services
Digitalisation is crucial in improving cultural heritage (CH) services. The EU-funded 4CH project will design and develop the structure, functioning and services of a European Competence Centre (CC) on Conservation of Cultural Heritage. The CC will operate as a virtual infrastructure using pioneering ICT focusing on 3D technology to provide expertise, advice and services. The project will establish an Advisory Board involving representatives of national and international CH institutions to make recommendations on cultural, scientific, technological, financial and policy issues and design and apply a CH cloud-based ICT infrastructure allowing access to repositories of data, metadata, standards and guidelines. 4CH will substantially improve the quality of digitised sites, documents and monuments.
Objective
The 4CH project will design and prepare for a European Competence Centre (CC) on the Conservation of Cultural Heritage which will work proactively for the preservation and conservation of cultural heritage (CH). The project aims to start implementing the structure, organization and services of the CC which will operate as a virtual infrastructure providing expertise, advice and services using state-of-the-art ICT with a special focus on 3D technology. A Strategic Advisory Board, including representatives of major national and international CH bodies, will be established to advise on cultural, scientific, technological, financial, strategy and policy areas. 4CH will design and implement the ICT infrastructure of the CC, based on a Cultural Heritage Cloud, compliant with the EOSC vision, to provide an open collaborative digital space for cultural heritage conservation giving access to repositories of data, metadata, standards and guidelines. Access to High Performance Computing service providers will be supported.
The core results of 4CH work will comprise of:
• a holistic interdisciplinary approach to state-of-the-art 3D documentation of monuments and sites for conservation, preservation, access and exploitation
• guidance on policies and strategies
• a catalogue of well-documented standards
• an inventory of software and tools
• guidelines for data acquisition, management and storage
• a set of success stories on advanced digitization
• advice on funding opportunities
• training and education plans for professionals and managers
• communication and dissemination of 4CH results
• a complete business model and a sustainability plan for the Competence Centre.
4CH will foster the implementation of actions to substantially increase the number and the quality of digitized sites, documents and monuments.
