Abstract

This paper reviews work currently undertaken and planned to develop a more holistic approach to e-documentation of Cultural Heritage, thereby addressing the needs of a wider range of existing and potential audiences in the digital sphere. Building on the work of the ViMM Coordination and Support Action, funded under Horizon 2020, Digital Heritage Research Laboratory (DHRLab) at Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) has committed its research agenda for the years to come to the development these approaches, settings in train this vital process through three main mechanisms, aiming to create a holistic framework for DCH by carrying out the wide range of collaborative and multidisciplinary research needed within an overall construct of advanced documentation:

  1. 1.

    The Europeana Task Force on Advanced Documentation of 3D digital assets

  2. 2.

    The UNESCO Chair on Digital Heritage

  3. 3.

    The Mnemosyne European Research Area Chair on Digital Heritage (Horizon 2020).
