Description

Abstract
The Chair will introduce and extend through e-Learning, higher education programmes (BSc, MSc) in Cultural Informatics, needed to enable DCH to work effectively. This will lead to a substantial body of PhD and post-doctoral research in key aspects of DCH, including digitization, data acquisition, processing, modelling, archiving, visualization, preservation and protection, analysis, interpretation, storytelling, use/re-use. Topics of emphasis will include: documentation (metadata, ontologies, semantics, linked data) and the applications of 3D/4D, Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing and crowdsourcing/Citizen Science. The needs of audiences such as cultural organisations (archives, libraries, museums, monuments and sites) and the communities they serve, will be a primary focus, alongside those of people working in the field of Digital Humanities, including the issues of multilingualism that impact them.
