ICT for Cultural Heritage (CH) - call for papers
18 May – Submission
This ERCIM News special thematic issue invites short articles about ongoing research, development and deployment in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for CH.
The interdisciplinary discourse in CH combines information and reasoning from sciences and humanities probably more than other fields of knowledge, in order to understand our past and present. Heterogeneity, multimodality, incompleteness, dispersion and scale of information are among the great challenges for ICT in this field. New methods of data capture and content presentation allow for unprecedented distribution, cross-correlation and display of material CH, supporting conservation, archaeological and museological processes and the visualization of hypotheses about past reality. ICTs offer opportunities for interaction between experts and laymen and the elicitation of cultural knowledge from the public. Integrated information management is increasing effectiveness and efficiency of the administration and preservation of material heritage, a major social concern and business sector.
