“…For creating and developing a multimedia platform to disseminate information on CH, (Cucchiara et al, 2011;Desouza & Bhagwatwar, 2012Tomor et al, 2019;Young et al, 2020) mentioned that users together with the developers should be involved from the beginning to the (co)creation process in order to identify the functions and boundaries of the platforms. However, most of the current CH platforms (i.e., KnossosAR) (Kasapakis et al, 2016) were developed with a focus on their technological framework or architecture to achieve the aimed functionality without much consideration of users' preferences.…”

As stated by UNESCO, cultural heritage (CH) (tangible and intangible) plays an important role in inheriting, maintaining and passing the values and knowledge from past generations to the next ones. To create an interest and raise the awareness of CH, variety of media sources (i.e., maps, text, 3D models, virtual reality) are exploited. These multimedia sources are brought together on web platforms that preserve and disseminate tangible and intangible CH information, with the aim to reach to large audiences. Although there are many examples of these multimedia web platforms, there is little research on understanding people’s willingness to use such multimedia web platforms and which media type people prefer for understanding and learning about CH. This is important to address since the success and sustainability of such platforms lies on their acceptance by the target audience in terms of data representation and the ease of information provision. To address this problem, this research applied a stated choice experiment to represent a hypothetical multimedia web platform to respondents. Different media types were tested for the description of CH (spatial content and historical content). The collected data from 630 respondents was analysed by a mixed logit model in order to determine the preference towards different media in a given hypothetical multimedia web platform to increase awareness of CH. The results indicate that people prefer multiple media rather than a single medium. Especially, adding dynamic media (i.e., 3D models and videos) to static media (i.e., 2D map and text) increase people’s willingness to use the multimedia web platform. The results help to formulate a new multimedia web platform and can help representatives of heritage sites to create a more sustainable way to broadcast information about CH to the public.

“…In this work we focus on the Cultural Heritage (CH) domain, which is certainly one of the most active in the operation of ADIs (Blanke, 2010) (Wang et al, 2012). The increased availability of CH digital content raised a natural need to deliver ADIs for the integration and delivery of such content to wider research, academic, and public communities (Cucchiara et al, 2012) (Loebbecke and Thaller, 2011); examples are the ADIs supported by Europeana (Europeana Foundation, 2009) and its satellite projects. Facilitating content interoperability, which naturally surfaces in a social environment (Alemu et al, 2012), is certainly one of the main challenges in CH, e.g.…”

The Cultural Heritage (CH) community is one of the most active in the realisation of aggregative data infrastructures (ADIs). ADIs provide tools to integrate data sources to form uniform and richer information spaces. The realisation of ADIs for CH must be based on technology capable of coping with complex interoperability issues and sustainability issues. In this paper, we present the D-NET Software Toolkit framework and services, devised for the realisation of sustainable and customisable ADIs. In particular, we demonstrate the effectiveness of D-NET in the CH scenario by describing its usage in the realisation of a real-case ADI for the EC project Heritage of the People's Europe (HOPE). The HOPE ADI uses D-NET to implement a two-phase metadata conversion methodology that addresses data interoperability issues while facilitating sustainability by encouraging participation of data sources.

“…Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) are becoming more and more important in many areas; their use goes from military training and simulation, to sharing of scientific data between scientists or decision-makers (CSCW), from support for innovative teaching paradigms, to support for collaborative e-learning (CSCL). Also, they are becoming one of the most promising multimedia technologies used to preserve and explore cultural goods [1]. One of the traditionally and oldest application field of CVE is virtual reconstruction of real or imaginary places for cultural heritage, for example in [2] a multi-user 3D world supports users in virtually visiting the Qumran museum to overcome the difficulties due to the geographic region where it is located.…”

Collaborative Virtual Environments are experiencing a large interest in cultural heritage field mostly due to the strong opportunity given by novel augmented reality applications. There are already several examples of collaborative augmented visit to museums or historical sites. Anyway the traditional and static approach to computer graphics is very limiting because it often requires the development of a Virtual Environment for every new application. In this paper, we propose a technique for model-driven generation of mixed reality virtual environments, where every modification in contents, visit path and in interactions with the physical surrounding environment don't require a great re-coding effort, enabling fast deployment of collaborative virtual environments for cultural explorations only providing new contents and a small set of parameters.
