The scientific and cultural impact of documentation

Cultural Heritage is as rich as complex and its documentation is an increasing challenge. The volume collects the contributions to the second conference of the ‘Digital & Documentation’ series, extending the debate to a multidisciplinary network of experts. It presents a frame of strategies for the documentation of Cultural Heritage in a wider perspective, stimulating reflections on: the relationships between physical and digital assets; the consistence of digital data and its management; digital representation as a mean to the transfer of cultural heritage. It comprehends theoretical studies and best practices on tangible and intangible heritage, taking into account applications for the research and the communications of Cultural Heritage as 3D representations, digital anastylosis, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, semantics and databases. Aiming to give a comprehensive view on digital and documentation, the volume involves multiple perspectives from cultural institutions and universities, from experts in representation, geomatics, history, architecture, archaeology and ICTs for a multidisciplinary outcome.
