3D Data Long-Term Preservation in Cultural Heritage
This addresses the challenge of data loss for cultural heritage institutions due to technological changes, but it is incremental as it synthesizes existing principles and practices without introducing new methods.
The report tackles the problem of preserving 3D digital data in cultural heritage by addressing technological obsolescence and proposing strategies like sustainable storage, data management plans, and metadata use, resulting in a comprehensive overview of solutions for long-term data preservation.
The report explores the challenges and strategies for preserving 3D digital data in cultural heritage. It discusses the issue of technological obsolescence, emphasising the need for ustainable storage solutions and ongoing data management strategies. Key topics include understanding technological obsolescence, the lifecycle of digital content, digital continuity, data management plans (DMP), FAIR principles, and the use of public repositories. The report also covers the importance of metadata in long-term digital preservation, including types of metadata and strategies for building valuable metadata. It examines the evolving standards and interoperability in 3D format preservation and the importance of managing metadata and paradata. The document provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and solutions for preserving 3D cultural heritage data in the long term.
