The arrigo showcase reloaded—towards a sustainable link between 3D and semantics

Abstract

It is still a big technical problem to establish a relation between a shape and its meaning in a sustainable way. We present a solution with a markup method that allows for labeling parts of a 3D object very much like labeling parts of a hypertext. A 3D markup can serve both as hyperlink and as link anchor, which is the key to bidirectional linking between 3D objects and Web documents. Our focus is on a sustainable 3D software infrastructure for application scenarios ranging from email and Internet over authoring and browsing semantic networks to interactive museum presentations. We demonstrate the workflow and the effectiveness of our tools by redoing the Arrigo 3D Showcase. We are working towards a best practice example for information modeling in cultural heritage.

Creating Web3D educational stories from crowdsourced annotations

“…While the representation of 3D geometrical entities on the web is an interesting opportunity for communicating knowledge, their annotation permits to exploit the potential of virtual representation, allowing users to go beyond the simple navigation of 3D worlds. For this reason in the last few years a number of proposals for adding semantics to the components of 3D worlds have been made, based on different specifications such as MPEG-7 [6], Collada [7] or X3D [2]. While most of these proposals focus on annotations referred to predefined ontologies, some researchers have focused also on the use of tags as a complementary means for annotating 3D entities with an informal approach more suited to common people [2].…”

“…Within the current research on annotations, most examples of structured information include semantic models for describing the intrinsic structure of the 3D shape (De Floriani et al, 2008, Papaleo and Floriani, 2009. proposed a model for describing the provenance (life-cycle) of digital 3D shapes in the CH domain (Rodriguez-Echavarria et al, 2009, Havemann et al, 2009, Serna et al, 2011 The Integrated Viewer Browser (IVB) is an interactive semantic enrichment tool for 3D CH collections developed within the 3DCOFORM project It is fully based on the CIDOC-CRM(ISO 21127:2006) schema supporting its sophisticated annotation model and represents a first approach to a 3D centred and distributed annotation tool taking into account aspects about layout designs, interaction metaphors, and workflows in real professional environments (see figure 2).…”

2D/3D semantic annotation towards a set of spatially-oriented photographs

“…Finally, others methods combine manual and automatic methods: the semiautomatic methods (Barrat S. et al, 2009 -http://alipr.com/). Regarding 3D annotations, the objective is to attach the annotation to points (Hunter et al 2011), to segments, to surfaces (Attene M. et al, 2009) or to the objects of the scene (Havemann, 2008). Finally, other researches combine 2D and 3D information.…”
