Use Cases
The robustness and real-world applicability of the INFINITY ecosystem are rigorously tested and validated through five complex and critical pilot scenarios. These Use Cases cover the entire lifecycle of Cultural Heritage Digital Objects (CHDOs), ensuring our solutions seamlessly integrate with existing professional workflows and the wider ECCCH framework.
[CROWD]
Multilingual Crowdsourcing & Verification
The focus
Enhancing fragmented post-World War II documentation.
The technology
We use multilingual crowdsourcing combined with advanced AI-assisted annotation tools.
The impact
Efficiently create structured and high-quality metadata, turning disparate historical sources into organized CHDOs.
[4DGRID]
Geospatial Context & Semantic Mapping
The focus
Adding spatial and temporal context to urban and historical visual data.
The technology
Development of a cutting-edge 4D system for AI-assisted geolocalization of urban data and enrichment of spatial context via the Semantic Web.
The impact
Provides researchers and historians with a richer, semantic map of the past, linking images directly to time and place.
[MANUSCRIPTS]
Optimized Transcription Workflows
The focus
Streamlining the digitization and processing of valuable manuscripts.
The technology
Optimizing the multilingual transcription pipeline for manuscripts, ensuring seamless integration with existing Collections Management Systems (CMS) like dLibra.
The impact
Accelerates the creation of structure-aware annotations, making complex written heritage more accessible and interoperable.
[AUDIOVISUAL]
Interoperability via Research Infrastructures
The focus
Connecting national audiovisual research environments with the European data space.
The technology
Validation of the connection of research infrastructures (e.g., CLARIAH) with the ECCCH / DS4CH data space. Focus on integrating ontologies and AI tools.
The impact
Ensures IPR and provenance traceability across various platforms, facilitating ethical reuse of audiovisual assets.
[ARCHIVE]
Ethical Reuse and IPR Documentation
The focus
Improving the usability and legal transparency of digital archive portals.
The technology
Utilizing dedicated ontologies for the semantic annotation of reuse conditions and clear documentation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
The impact
Enhances archive usability by providing clear, machine-readable rules for ethical reuse, protecting both the creator and the user.
