Analysis of the Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Material Cultural Heritage Driven by Big Data—Take Museum Relics as an Example

Abstract

Museum cultural relics represent a special material cultural heritage, and modern interpretations of them are needed in current society. Based on the catalogue data of cultural relics published by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, this paper analyzes the continuity and intermittentness of cultural relics in time series by using the method of continuity judgment of cultural relics, analyzes the aggregation and migration of cultural relics in space by using the method of spatial analysis, and then uses cosine similarity to explain the similarity distribution in space and time. The results show that the overall distribution of cultural relics exhibits the characteristics of class aggregation, dynasty aggregation and regional aggregation. From the perspective of a time scale, cultural relics have different “life cycles”, displaying continuity, intermittentness, and similarity. From the perspective of a spatial scale, the cultural relic distribution forms a small “cultural communication circle”, showing aggregation, migration, and similarity. The temporal and spatial distribution of cultural relics exhibited more similar characteristics among dynasties that were closer together than those that were far away.

Digital Technologies and the Role of Data in Cultural Heritage: The Past, the Present, and the Future

“…Many recent works try to tackle problems related to culture, cultural heritage, and cultural informatics from the perspective of big data [107][108][109][110][111][112][113]. The real question is why issues that keep existing in cultural informatics for years, are now being investigated from this perspective.…”

Research on bronze wine vessel classification using improved SSA-CBAM-GNNs

“…In-depth research on these utensils can provide a profound understanding of ancient society’s politics, economy, religion, art, and other aspects. Identifying and classifying the dynasty to which the utensils belong is essential for archaeologists and historians to infer the relevant historical background and cultural characteristics accurately [ 4 ]. However, traditional methods face challenges due to the large number of utensils, their complex shapes, and the complexity of historical evolution.…”

Museum Relic Image Detection and Recognition Based on Deep Learning

“…At the same time, organizing the current periodical databases, it is found that there are few studies on the detection and recognition of museum cultural relic images. For example, Li Pengong et al only used the method of spatial analysis to analyze the similarity of cultural relics [ 7 ]. Therefore, based on the aforementioned theoretical knowledge and application practice of image detection and recognition, a method of museum cultural relic detection and recognition based on convolution neural network is proposed, so as to provide more reference for museum cultural relic recognition.…”
