Digital Innovation for Cultural Heritage Knowledge and Management
Fostering digital technologies to record, document, and preserve Europe’s Cultural Heritage and their accessibility is one of the main challenges nowadays. The great potential of 3D digital modeling and representation to new ways of visualization and data management can lead to new avenues of understanding, enhancement, and conservation of Cultural Heritage. Moreover, Digital Cultural Heritage is a highly interdisciplinary field, in which contaminations of integrated skills are merged.
In this framework, the H2020 project INCEPTION - Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling proposed a workflow aimed at the achievements of efficient 3D digitization methods, post-processing modelling tools, semantic web-based solutions and application to ensure a wide access to experts and non-experts, focusing on complex architectural heritage. The project resulted in further ongoing initiatives in the field of Digital Innovation.

Federica Maietti is Associate Professor at the DIAPReM Centre - Development of Integrated Automatic Procedures for Restoration of Monuments, Department of Architecture, University of Ferrara. She is responsible for the Heritage Documentation and Diagnostic Survey area. Her interdisciplinary research is focused on the relationship between survey and  representation in the field of digital heritage. She has been the Technical Coordinator of the H2020 project “INCEPTION - Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling”, and she is member of the Scientific Coordination Team (spin off INCEPTION Srl) of the H2020 EU project “4CH - Competence Centre for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage”.
