EUreka3D

The project will:

• Provide capacity building and improvement of the digital skills that are currently lacking at the level of individual Cultural Heritage Institutions (CHIs) in the creation and management of 3D cultural assets.
• Develop services to support 3D digitization efforts, according to the most recent recommendations and state-of-the-art technologies, also identifying scalable solutions that allow CHIs big and small to access them in a sustainable way.
• Develop services for safe authentication and authorization; and for access to hosting data spaces where the 3D models are deposited and handled by the CHI without the need of creating and maintaing proprietary architecture and complex database management systems, but approaching instead the whole issue according to the concept of Software as a Service.
• Enable a new and more advanced way of harvesting content, which is not limited to geometrical 3D models and basic metadata but integrates the knowledge and the memory that are attached to the digital objects, which will generate higher value collections to be reused for scientific research, education and tourism applications.
• Test the workflow in a real-case scenario, by providing high quality 3D digitization and models, that are also aggregated and made available to the Europeana platform.
