A presentation about the 3D ICONS Guidelines and Case Studies given by Anthony Corns of the Discovery Programme at the 3D ICONS workshop, Borsa Mediteranea in Pasetum. 3D ICONS has published Guidelines which cover documentation of the digitisation, modelling, online access pipeline for the creation of online 3D models of cultural heritage objects. The document includes 28 Case Studies - examples of 3D content creation by project partners across a range of monuments, architectural features and artefacts. http://3dicons-project.eu

1. Guidelines & Case Studies
Anthony Corns
The Discovery Programme
This project has been funded with support from the European Commission‘s CIP ICT PSP programme

2. Two distinct sections:

Guidelines: Documentation of the digitisation, modelling online access pipeline for the creation of online 3d models of cultural heritage objects.

Case Studies: 28 examples of 3D content creation by the 3D- ICONS partners across a range of monuments, architectural features and artefacts.

11. 3D Publishing Methodology
www.3dicons-project.eu

Serve a wide variety of needs and users

Maximise the 3D user experience

Focus on accessibility - easy and intuitive

Maximise the availability of the 3D content on as many browser platforms as possible (desktop and mobile)

Focus on single release of models - efficient & sustainable production

Avoid users having to install additional software or plugins

Support the concept of resource exploration (e.g. integrated URLs)

17. Metadata
www.3dicons-project.eu
1.
It describes in detail the artefact or monument which is being modelled in 3D and its provenance
2.
It describes in detail the digital representation of artefact or monument and its online location
3.
It provides technical information and quality insurance on the processes and methods utilised in the digitisation and modelling of heritage objects
4.
It provides information on the access, licensing and reuse of the created 3D models and any associated digital content
5.
It enables the search, discovery and reuse of content through the mapping of metadata to aggregators e.g. Europeana Data Model (EDM)
