Integrated Data, Metadata, and Paradata Management System for 3D Digital Cultural Heritage Objects: Workflow Automation, Federated Authentication, and Publication

New paper: Integrated Data, Metadata, and Paradata Management System for 3D Digital Cultural Heritage Objects: Workflow Automation, Federated Authentication, and Publication

Our latest peer-reviewed study presents a federated system for managing 3D cultural heritage data, metadata, and paradata with automated workflows from upload through publication across three digitized objects.

Abstract

The complexity of high-quality 3D digitised cultural heritage objects creates challenges for existing data management systems as they need to develop metadata management and processing capabilities to provide semantic insight into the interconnectivity of data that constitutes cultural heritage objects. To address these challenges, we propose a global federated authentication and authorisation mechanism, a data and metadata management system, and an integrated engine for designing and executing automated workflows that facilitate the processing of both data and metadata. The solution is evaluated with three distinct 3D digitised cultural objects and presents the complete process from data upload to cultural heritage object publication.
