n-Dimensional analysis and memorisation ecosystem for building cathedrals of knowledge in Heritage Science

Project description

New, multi-dimensional studies in Cultural Heritage

The use of digitalisation in cultural heritage (CH) studies can open up fresh horizons, enabling to the production of collective knowledge for a new generation of data and cultural resources via collaborative analysis. However, this requires an ecosystem to record different points of view concerning the same object of study and to identify changes or synergies leading to new knowledge. The EU-funded n-Dame_Heritage project will create a digital space with multidisciplinary and multi-dimensional, digitally created data to research methods of knowledge production in CH. Based on the unique scientific field site at Notre Dame de Paris, this project will create a ground-breaking approach in computational modelling and digitisation to build a model body of data for multi-dimensional studies.

Objective

The research on cultural heritage makes the confrontation between material objects and multidisciplinary studies the arena for the production of collective knowledge. In the digital age, this is then a privileged framework for studying the collective analysis and interpretation of facts, objects and phenomena that bring together a new generation of data towards the construction of new scientific resources - our tomorrows heritage. How can one memorise these bundles of individual gazes converging on the same object of study? How can one analyse their dynamics of construction, of overlap and of fusion leading to new knowledge? This project introduces a new field - a territory of multidisciplinary and multidimensional digitally born data - as raw material for studying the mechanisms of knowledge production in cultural heritage. Introducing a pioneering approach in computational modelling and digitisation, this project benefits from the exceptional experimental framework of the scientific worksite on Notre-Dame de Paris (involving today 175 researchers coming from disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, architecture, history, chemistry, physics and computer scientist) to build an emblematic corpus of data on scientific practices in heritage science, in the digital age. Within this unique opportunity to produce and analyse masses of born digital scientific data, n-Dame_Heritage will deliver a generalisable approach, a replicable methodology and an open and reusable digital ecosystem to build cathedrals of knowledge by the collaborative research on material objects. By introducing and experimenting next generation methods and tools for the semantic-driven data production and analysis, this project shifts the cursor of digitisation, from the physical object to the knowledge for understanding it, in order to analyse the interdependence between its complex facets and the related knowledge objects built by scholars through their research practices.
