VAST 2007

From EpochWiki

Future technologies to empower heritage professionals VAST2007 is the 8th International Symposium in the series and will incorporate the 5th EUROGRAPHICS workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage. The cultural heritage sector spans many distinct sub-areas, which may be divided into two major classifications:

• Tangible heritage, represented by the discovery, documentation, organisation, interpretation and communication of artefacts, monuments, sites, museums and collections (including digital archives, catalogues and libraries).
• Intangible heritage, represented by performance, stories, myth and mythology.

At the interface between these two areas lies the area of historical and cultural interpretation. The increasing volume of digital cultural artefacts and collections is becoming an important body of heritage content in its own right. Finally, the area of collections, their organisation, catalogue management and interrogation is also a valid topic.
