Item LIDO and CRMdig from a 3D Cultural Heritage Documentation Perspective(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Pitzalis, Denis; Niccolucci, Franco; Theodoriou, Maria; Doerr, Martin; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesThe most important characteristic of Digital Libraries is their flexibility in exposing content. Typically a DL provides a search interface which allows resources to be found. These resources can be local or remote, depending on how the data are organised within the DL and on how these data are made available for harvesting from/to other DLs. This kind of communication is possible because the structures of different DLs are expressed in formal specifications. In particular, especially in Cultural Heritage where we need to describe an extremely heterogeneous environment, some metadata standards are emerging and mappings are proposed to allow metadata exchange and enrichment. The CIDOC-CRM is an ontology designed to mediate contents in the area of tangible cultural heritage and it is ISO 21127 : 2006 standard. In particular an extension of the CIDOC-CRM, known as CRMdig, enables to document information about data provenance and digital objects in a very precise way. LIDO is a rich metadata schema suitable for handling museum-related data, still under development but very promising. In this paper we propose an update of the CIDOC-CRM to LIDO mapping and using a case study we will compare how CIDOC-CRMdig and LIDO handle the digital information of an object.Item A Repository for 3D Model Production and Interpretation in Culture and Beyond(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Doerr, Martin; Tzompanaki, Katerina; Theodoridou, Maria; Georgis, Ch.; Axaridou, A.; Havemann, Sven; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesIn order to support the work of researchers in the production, processing and interpretation of complex digital objects and the dissemination of valuable and diverse information to a broad spectrum of audience there is need for an integrated high performance environment that will combine knowledge base features with content management and information retrieval (IR) technologies. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of an integrated repository to ingest, store, manipulate, and export 3D Models, their related digital objects and metadata and to enable efficient access, use, reuse and preservation of the information, ensuring referential and semantic integrity. The repository design is based on an integrated coherent conceptual schema that models complex metadata regarding provenance information, structured models, formats, compatibility of 3D models, historical events and real world objects. This repository is not implemented just to be a storage location for digital objects; it is meant to be a working integrated platform for distant users who participate in a process chain consisting of several steps. A first prototype, in the field of Cultural Heritage, has already been implemented in the context of 3D-COFORM project, an integrated research project funded by the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013, no 231809) and the results are satisfactory, proving the feasibility of the design decisions which are absolutely new, ambitious, and extraordinarily generic for e-science.Item A Distributed Object Repository for Cultural Heritage(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Pan, Xueming; Beckmann, Philipp; Havemann, Sven; Tzompanaki, K.; Doerr, Martin; Fellner, Dieter W.; Alessandro Artusi and Morwena Joly and Genevieve Lucet and Denis Pitzalis and Alejandro RibesThis paper describes the design and the implementation of a distributed object repository that offers cultural heritage experts and practitioners a working platform to access, use, share and modify digital content. The principle of collecting paradata to document each step in a potentially long sequence of processing steps implies a number of design decisions for the data repository, which are described and explained. Furthermore, we provide a description of the concise API our implementation. Our intention is to provide an easy-to-understand recipe that may be valuable also for other data repository implementations that incorporate and operationalize the more theoretical concepts of intellectual transparency, collecting paradata, and compatibility to semantic networks.
