EUreka3D: Concluding a Successful Project Supporting Cultural Heritage Initiatives
EUreka3D held its final conference on December 13, 2024, in Girona, uniting the cultural heritage community focused on 3D digitisation. As EGI, we are proud to have played a central role in this event, sharing insights into the technology behind the EUreka3D DataHub and engaging in discussions about the future of EUreka3D XR.
The conference showcased the project’s comprehensive results, including the methodology, the DataHub platform, and case studies presented by the partners involved in the digitisation process. Additionally, there were presentations on digitisation experiences from the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Museu Etnològic del Montseny.
The event also featured the launch of the EUreka3D final booklet, which compiles best practices for 3D digitisation of cultural heritage.
Recordings of the sessions, including the EUreka3D DataHub presentation, are available on YouTube.
Moreover, a book titled "3D Research Challenges in Cultural Heritage: Paradata, Metadata, and Data in Digitization" documents the project's experiences using the Europeana Data Model to describe 3D objects.
How did EGI contribute?
In addition to supporting the communication and dissemination activities, EGI was instrumental in the creation of the EUreka3D DataHub Platform, with the collaboration of Cyfronet.
EGI's contribution lies in the availability of components such as:
- Authorisation and Authentication, based on EGI Check-in;
- Data Management, based on the EGI DataHub service and managed by the EGI Federation Member Cyfronet.
- Compute power, provided by the EGI Cloud Compute service and Federated Cloud Infrastructure.
We cannot wait to start the EUreka3D-XR project, where EGI will continue to provide Cloud Compute and AAI services.
