A joint event for the exchange and sharing of know-how in the areas of Cultural Heritage (CH) and Information Technology (IT) focusing on e-documentation and 3D Computer Graphics:
- The 37th CIPA International Workshop dedicated on e-Documentation and Standardisation in Cultural Heritage (http://cipa.icomos.org)
- The 7th VAST International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage.
- The 4th Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (http://www.eg.org)
- The 1st Euro-Med Conference on IT in Cultural Heritage.
- EPOCH General Assembly (see conference programme)
- EPOCH SME meeting (see conference programme)
- CIPA Executive Commitee meeting
- The 6th RecorDIM meeting (http://extranet.getty.edu/gci/recordim/)
The event will provide an opportunity
to exchange opinions, experiences and proposals on the best practice
and tools to document, preserve and manage the Cultural Heritage,
whether architectural, archaeological and/or natural. The main goal
of the event is to illustrate the programs underway, whether organised
by public bodies (e.g. UNESCO, European Union, National States,
etc.) or by private foundations (e.g. Getty Foundation, World Heritage
Foundation, etc.) in order to promote a common approach to the tasks
of recording, documenting, protecting and managing the World Cultural
Heritage
To reach this ambitious goal the topics covered will include experiences
in the use of innovative recording technologies & methods and how
to take best advantage of the results obtained to build up new instruments
and improved methodologies for documenting and managing the Cultural
Heritage
It is the first time that several organizations have decided to
join together in order to create an optimal environment for the
discussion, explanation of new technologies, exchange of modern
ideas and in general to allow the transfer of knowledge between
a maximum number of professionals and participants during one common
time period.
The 2006 joint event will focus on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary
research concerning both innovative Cultural Heritage Informatics
and use of technology for the representation, documentation, archiving
and communication of CH knowledge. The scope includes every phase
of CH information technology: initial data capture/digitization, information/data
processing, visualization and documentation as well as dissemination
of results to the scientific community and the general public, and
the wider legal and ethical responsibilities of Cultural Heritage
Informatics.
Research subjects parallel the interests of CIPA, VAST, Eurographics
and EPOCH EU Network , including culturally significant monuments,
artefacts and sites as well as the activities of museums, libraries,
archives, and organizations involved with their care.
Those researchers who wish to participate in this event are invited to submit papers on original work addressing the following subjects or related themes:
- Data Acquisition Technologies focusing on Photogrammetry and Laserscanning,
- 3D Data Capture and Processing in CH
- CAD and FEM based Digital Reconstructions and 3D Modelling

- Virtual Museum Applications (e-Museums and e-Exhibitions)
- Novel Internet-based CH Applications
- Usability, Effectiveness and Interface Design for CH Applications
- Innovative Graphics Applications and Techniques
- Interactive Environments and Applications
- e-Libraries in Cultural Heritage
- e-Learning in CH
- Tools for Education and Training in CH
- Archaeological Analysis and Interpretive Design
- Standards and Documentation
- Professional and Ethical Guidelines
- The Economics of Cultural Informatics and Tourism
- Natural and Man initiated deconstruction of Cultural Heritage and prevention techniques.
