Cultural Heritage, Creative Tools and Archives Workshop

DIGHUMLAB DK and the DIGITAL CURATION UNIT Athens are pleased to invite you to submit to a DARIAH associated 2 day workshop on CULTURAL HERITAGE, CREATIVE TOOLS AND ARCHIVES.
The workshop is open to all but we in particular invite participants drawn in the first instance from the DARIAH, ARIADNE, CENDARI and NeDiMAH and other EU cultural heritage networks. We envisage it will foster the growth of a community of practice in the field of digital heritage and digital humanities, leading to closer cooperation between participants and helping attendees develop tools and methods that can be used by the wider community.


Central topics:

•     Presentation of digital heritage tools and infrastructures (database, knowledge representation, analysis).
•     GIS, 3D graphic reconstruction, high end imaging.
•     Ontology related to archives and database storage for material and visual culture, etc. and how best to share data and tools across European countries and partners.
•     Database and infrastructure support for fieldwork (cf. issues of data collecting and representation, excavation and survey data management, recording "information at the trowel's edge" to coin Ian Hodder, how to best process survey and long series datasets etc.).
•     Discussion on further collaboration and how to influence EU policy in digital heritage-cultural heritage matters.

Presentation formats:

•     Project presentation 20 minutes.
•     Demonstration 20 minutes of tool or method or project.
•     Paper presentation 20 minutes presentation. Final papers may be published in a journal (to be advised).
•     Panel 40-60 minutes involving 3-5 speakers.
