Description
This book provides an overview of various challenges and contemporary research activities in cultural heritage information, focusing particularly on the cultural heritage content types, their characteristics, and digitisation challenges. It also explores cultural heritage content organisation and access issues, users and usability, as well as various policy and sustainability issues associated with digital cultural heritage information systems and services.
Cultural Heritage Information, the first book in the peer-reviewed i-Research series, contains eleven chapters contributed by seventeen leading academics from six countries. The book begins with an introductory chapter that offers a brief overview of digital cultural heritage information, with subsequent chapters addressing specific issues and research activities within this topic. The chapters are ordered to progress from policies and infrastructures, through considerations of interaction, access, and objects, to concrete system implementations.

- Managing digital cultural heritage information
- Digital humanities and digital cultural heritage (alt-history and future directions)

- Cultural heritage information: artefacts and digitisation technologies
- Metadata in cultural contexts β from manga to digital archives in linked open data environment
- Managing cultural heritage: information systems architecture
- Cultural heritage information users and usability
- A framework for classifying and comparing interactions in cultural heritage information systems
- Semantic access and exploration in cultural heritage digital libraries
