“…Thanks to digital reconstruction, exhibitions in virtual museums gain a new format. Examples of virtual museums created with the use of 3D models obtained in the process of digitisation of objects are the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb [24] and the National Archaeological Museum in Florence [25]. Artefact scans are described in [26], and the obtained models were used to create integrated VR applications.…”

In the era of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, 3D digitisation of selected museum artefacts is becoming more and more frequent practice, but the vast majority is performed by specialised teams. The paper presents the results of comparative studies of 3D digital models of the same museum artefacts from the Silk Road area generated by two completely different technologies: Structure from Motion (SfM)—a method belonging to the so-called low-cost technologies—and by Structured-light 3D Scanning (3D SLS). Moreover, procedural differences in data acquisition and their processing to generate three-dimensional models are presented. Models built using a point cloud were created from data collected in the Afrasiyab museum in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) during “The 1st Scientific Expedition of the Lublin University of Technology to Central Asia” in 2017. Photos for creating 3D models in SfM technology were taken during a virtual expedition carried out under the “3D Digital Silk Road” program in 2021. The obtained results show that the quality of the 3D models generated with SfM differs from the models from the technology (3D SLS), but they may be placed in the galleries of the vitrual museum. The obtained models from SfM do not have information about their size, which means that they are not fully suitable for archiving purposes of cultural heritage, unlike the models from SLS.

“…There also exists a term called "vocabulary" in the semantic web, which is often referred to be equal to the term "ontology". According to W3C 4 , "There is no clear division between what is referred to as 'vocabularies' and 'ontologies'. The trend is to use the word 'ontology' for more complex, and possibly quite formal collection of terms, whereas 'vocabulary' is used when such strict formalism is not necessarily used or only in a very loose sense."…”

“…Furthermore, the volume of digital cultural heritage data is growing significantly, as CH sites and CH collections are being digitized at exponentially accelerating rates by CH digitization projects, government bodies and CH institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) around the globe [4,5]. Accordingly, the ever-increasing growth of digital CH data facilitated the development of cultural heritage repositories, which are playing a major role in digital preservation and dissemination, tourism, and CH research among others [6,7].…”

A Survey of Geospatial Semantic Web for Cultural Heritage

2019

The amount of digital cultural heritage data produced by cultural heritage institutions is growing rapidly. Digital cultural heritage repositories have therefore become an efficient and effective way to disseminate and exploit digital cultural heritage data. However, many digital cultural heritage repositories worldwide share technical challenges such as data integration and interoperability among national and regional digital cultural heritage repositories. The result is dispersed and poorly-linked cultured heritage data, backed by non-standardized search interfaces, which thwart users’ attempts to contextualize information from distributed repositories. A recently introduced geospatial semantic web is being adopted by a great many new and existing digital cultural heritage repositories to overcome these challenges. However, no one has yet conducted a conceptual survey of the geospatial semantic web concepts for a cultural heritage audience. A conceptual survey of these concepts pertinent to the cultural heritage field is, therefore, needed. Such a survey equips cultural heritage professionals and practitioners with an overview of all the necessary tools, and free and open source semantic web and geospatial semantic web platforms that can be used to implement geospatial semantic web-based cultural heritage repositories. Hence, this article surveys the state-of-the-art geospatial semantic web concepts, which are pertinent to the cultural heritage field. It then proposes a framework to turn geospatial cultural heritage data into machine-readable and processable resource description framework (RDF) data to use in the geospatial semantic web, with a case study to demonstrate its applicability. Furthermore, it outlines key free and open source semantic web and geospatial semantic platforms for cultural heritage institutions. In addition, it examines leading cultural heritage projects employing the geospatial semantic web. Finally, the article discusses attributes of the geospatial semantic web that require more attention, that can result in generating new ideas and research questions for both the geospatial semantic web and cultural heritage fields.

“…The digital replica can be helpful for many reasons and has many innovative applications: (i) it allows the virtual manipulation of these delicate findings; (ii) it allows the access and the sharing of artifact documentary information; (iii) it facilitates a collaborative interdisciplinary study among several experts; and (iv) it allows experimentation with machine learning for automatic character recognition and linguistic studies [15][16][17]. The digitization of cuneiform tablets in 3D has many positive implications for both research and 'edutainment' [18].…”

Cuneiform Tablets Micro-Surveying in an Optimized Photogrammetric Configuration

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the current panorama of 3D digital documentation, the survey of tiny artifacts with micrometric details is strongly influenced by two factors: firstly, the still high cost of the instruments and technologies (active sensors) required to achieve the necessary level of accuracy and resolution; secondly, the needed professional skills for the macro-photogrammetric approach. In this context, this research aims to meet the demand for a digital survey and 3D representation of small objects with complex surfaces and sub-millimeter morphological characteristics using a low-cost configuration (passive sensors) for an image-based approach. The experiments concerned cuneiform tablets, which are challenging due to their morphological and geometrical characteristics. The digital replica of these unique artefacts can be helpful for their study and interpretation and many innovative applications: access and sharing, a collaborative interdisciplinary study among several experts, experimentation with machine learning for automatic character recognition, and linguistic studies. The micrometric surveying system described proves to be an efficient and reliable solution for cuneiform tablet digitization and documentation.
