The heritage dilemma: when digital treasures lose their voice
Imagine the vast digital treasures held in our museums, archives, and libraries: photos, 3D scans, historical documents. These Digital Cultural Heritage Objects (CHDOs) are an immense resource, yet the critical context surrounding them is often fragmented, incomplete, or difficult to reuse safely. How can we ensure transparency regarding who can use a digital object and how?
INFINITY is the innovative answer to this dilemma. Functioning as a Multidimensional Knowledge Hub, we leverage advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Semantic Web technologies to enrich every CHDO with its complete narrative, transforming fragmented data into an interconnected network of trusted knowledge. We ensure that our digital heritage is not only preserved but is also positioned for an ethical and creative future within the European Collaborative Cloud.
Transparency and ethics
are at the heart of digital heritage:
responsible innovation begins
with ethical data practices.
