3D in A&CH
A&CH domain is characterized by an increasingincreasing volume of 3D digital content
A large part of the European CH exists in digital collections (e.g. virtual museums, digital libraries, scientific repositories)
3D models and virtual spaces have huge potential for enhancing the way people
interact with museum collections and structured e-learning environmentsattempt to answer challenging research questions.
Indicative Open Problems
A&CH 3D digital libraries are becoming more and more demanding
management, preservation, delivery mechanisms…
3D A&CH content often ishard to access and interpretheld in multiple internal systems
with non-standard schemas and descriptions.
The unavoidable manual annotation of explicit semantics is not a practical approach
especially when the number of resources is expected to grow fast.
Geometry & Knowledge Synergies:
Search or MatchPerform content- and context-based content- and context-based (semantic) searching(semantic) searching to retrieve 3D models, using any combination of text, 3D objects and ontology classifications.

Geometry & Knowledge Synergies:Archaeology and Geosciences
Archaeology Discovery & Integration with Geosciences
Bring disparate datasets through a common reasoning systemDevelop conceptual workflowsReason on, and validate theoretical scenarios
Geometry & Knowledge Synergies:Virtual Reality Simulations
Model architecture (theaters, mosques, monuments, …)Use behavioral animation techniques to model the movement, rituals, celebrations, and practices of people
Geometry & Knowledge Synergies:Automatic Identification
The model input is processed for automated annotationA generic ontology is availableThe semantic analyzer combines the results of the annotations and the ontology to input it into the inference module
