RECOMMENDATIONS
On a ‘Common Data Space
for Cultural Heritage’

“Digitise in 3D all monuments and sites (at risk) and
50% of all monuments and sites that are most
visited”
“Member States should …support and
raise awareness of Europeana among
the general public and particularly in the
education sector and schools”
“All public funding for future digitisation
…should be made conditional upon
making digitised content available in
Europeana and the data space”

How do we align the Commission’s vision with the
state of play in the Member States and the needs
and expectations of the sector and citizens?
What is the role of aggregators, and how
can they be better supported to deliver
change at scale?
Surface and articulate some of key
challenges and issues with regard to
aggregation and data space

Thierry Breton
How digital will help us preserve our cultural
heritage
Statement, 10 Novembre 2021
GodefroyParis | (CC) Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0
(…)
Our cultural heritage is an intrinsic part of our shared European values and
cultural diversity which are the foundation of our European identity.
This is why we need to preserve it. And in order to preserve it, we need to
help ensure that our European heritage is fully embedded in the Digital
Decade.
Less than 20% of the collections at our museums, galleries or libraries are
digitised.
The situation is even more dramatic for sites and monuments.
At the same time, these treasures are increasingly exposed to natural and
man-made risks: from the fire of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, to the
regular flooding of Venice, or vandalism in the Modern Theatre in Sofia.
(…)
By 2030, we want all monuments and sites at risk, and at least 50% of the
most visited ones, to be digitised in 3D.
(…)
I want a digital twin of Notre Dame, for preserving it, for re-using it. In
video-games, in education, in research, in tourism.

3D DIGITISATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
THE BIG CHALLENGES LAUNCHED BY THE
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION OF 10.11.2021
To be digitised in 3D by 2030:
- all monuments and sites at risk and
- 50% of the most physically visited monuments, buildings and sites
A huge number of Cultural Heritage Assets to be digitised in 3D
2,400,000 by 2025
16,000,000 by 2030
The creation of a common European data space to host and make
findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable the 3D Digital Assets
(the FAIR principle)
Semantic interoperability of format and standards for 3D Digital
Assets and metadata
Defining a strategy to address this challenge raises some questions

QUESTIONS RAISED
Are those targets achievable?
Time and cost of 3D digitization should be considered
Are the targets correctly sized for each Member State?
Various factors such as size, characteristics, risk exposure
require appropriate strategies for each Country
Should a level of quality be established?
How to fix the level of quality?
Which parameter?
FAIR principles?
How to assess the FAIR principles satisfaction?
For whom, for what purpose and in which way the 3D
digitised assets have to be: Findable / Accessible /
Interoperable / Reusable

A MULTISCALE APPROACH
A VARIETY OF FEDERATED 3D DIGITISED ASSETS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS
OF RESOLUTION AND COMPLEXITY
The different levels depend firstly on the scope the 3D digitised assets
will be used for.
A multiscale approach fosters an inclusive strategy in the collection,
implementation and upload of 3D digitised assets into the data space.
It allows to:
- reuse existing ones by addressing them for appropriate purposes
- improve and standardize those one in progress
- optimize the new ones
A Semantic Platform based on common ontologies and supported by
an adequate technical infrastructure can improve the interconnections
within the data space and can make the 3D assets Findable –
Accessible – Interoperable - Reusable
These principles are the basis of:
- the development of the semantic platform for interoperable 3D
HBIM based model implemented in the H2020 Project Inception
- the ongoing work of the H2020 Projet 4CH to establish the
European Competence Centre for preservation and conservation
of Monuments and Sites

AN INTERCONNECTED DATA SPACE
THE H2020 INCEPTION PROJECT AND ITS SPIN-OFF HAVE ALREADY
TESTED HOW THE INTERCONNECTIVITY CAN WORK
The H2020 Project Inception implemented a semantic platform where the 3D Models can be navigated and every single piece of a model can be
selected to retrieve its metadata or to be enriched with documents.
Here is the example of the integration of the Europeana Collections: exploiting developed APIs, we can search into Europeana directly from the
INCEPTION platform and create an interconnection between the two worlds.

AN INTERCONNECTED DATA SPACE
THE H2020 INCEPTION PROJECT AND ITS SPIN-OFF HAVE ALREADY
TESTED HOW THE INTERCONNECTIVITY CAN WORK
Once the semantic correlation has been established, then you can decide how to access the content.
From the 3D models to its preview into the INCEPTION platform itself or to the Europeana Collections page.
In this way, the picture remains where it was since the beginning but we create new ways of navigating and therefore understanding the content.

The H2020 4CH project is working on the establishment of a European
Competence Centre for preservation and conservation of Monuments
and Sites
THE 4CH Project
ROLE AND CONTRIBUTE OF THE EUROPEAN COMPETENCE CENTRE
The implementation of the
Compentence Centre’s
Semantic Platform for the 3D
Digitised Assets is an
important strategic objective
of 4CH

Fields of activities of the
Competence Centre | ICTs and 3D Technology Dept
o Definition of standards and basis that the multiscale levels for
the 3D digitised assets should be based on
o Implementation of common ontologies for semantic based
interoperability and interconnections
o Networking of Member States' digital infrastructures
In order to address the challenges and achieve the objectives
recommended by the European Commission, a common
strategy of the Member States and a strong and broad
cooperation in these fields will be required.

from science, industry, cultural
heritage and civil society have joined
an unprecedented alliance under the
umbrella of the Time Machine.

With Time Machine, Europe will build
the first 5D mirror world, connecting
each place with the depth of its past
and giving direct access to unique
assets for studying, learning, deciding,
creating and inventing a shared
future.

• connecting science with society…
• exploring human knowledge: science & knowledge
& arts, culture, crafts & know-how, expertise
• on local, national and international scales
• …for anyone with a curious mind!

Who Knows…
• “I don’t think science knows, actually”
• deep fake - filter bubbles - post-truth
• repositioning relationships between science and
society, seeking new models for integrating &
embedding knowledge systems within our societies
• overarching narrative Leiden2022: WHO KNOWS

Learning no. 1: “the messy stuff wins”
• let go of control, build on trust
• allow spontaneous, original ideas to win from fixed
formats - every step along the way!
• don’t let the rational get in the way of the intuitive
• foster and stimulate *real* bottom-up ownership

Learning no. 2: “be generous”
• bottom-up inclusivity only works IF…
• you are performing continuous bias checks
• you keep on reaching beyond your own
networks
• you follow the pathway from public awareness
to public engagement to public participation

Learning no. 3: “it’s all about curiosity”
• curiosity is just so very…
• open boxes, take corners, tempt people to open up their
brains and senses
• the power of curiosity reaches far beyond classical target
groups and/or pre-fixed media strategies
• ignite, surprise and delight: enlight!

Human-in-the-loop methodology
Combine the power of
state-of-the-art Artiﬁcial
Intelligence tools with experts’
and crowd human intelligence
for improving the automatic
enrichment of CH metadata

Content analysis
● Image tagging/object detection
● Color extraction
● Speech to Text
● Optical Character Recognition

Semantic Analysis
➢ Thesaurus Annotators: Lemmatisation and smart
string matching to link text to domain-speciﬁc
vocabularies.
➢ Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation:
Identify persons, places, and organisations
considering contextual information.
➢ SPARQL Annotators: RegEx to link with external
knowledge bases such as WikiData and Geonames.
❖ Deal with diﬀerent languages

Role of human contributions
● Feedback pointing to certain errors
● Fine-tune the AI algorithms so that they
consider the characteristics of the
speciﬁc domain
● Produce training data
● Feedback used to deduce “acceptable”
automatic conﬁdence levels
CrowdHeritage.eu

What do we gain?
● Scale up enrichment of CH-related metadata in a cost-eﬀective way
● Improve the accuracy of existing AI tools by gaining useful in-domain data
and insights
● Generalise and systematise experience
gained from previous attempts into a
reusable and comprehensive methodology
● Proposed approach and toolset can be
uptaken by Europeana for more eﬃcient
metadata quality improvement at scale
