What is Europeana?A huge database of information about digital content (metadata) held by European cultural heritage institutions – Funded by the European Commission– Supplied by a range of Best Practice and other Pilot projects as well as
directly by (larger) institutionsCatalyst for new content services – Europeana services and tools, standards, Linked Open Data, …– Hackathons – new content-based apps– Europeana Research next stage
Source of exhibitions (engaging the public)Network of cultural heritage organisations and expertiseEvolving - going from the ESE (Europeana Semantic Elements) schema to the EDM (Europeana Data Model) with planned future releasesOne-stop-shop and showcase for digitised cultural heritage.

Current Status of Europeana
By July 2012– over 23 million objects– from more than 2,200 institutions– from 33 countries.
Predominantly – Images – Text– Audio– Video– 3D (just a few but lots more in the pipeline!)

The 3D-ICONS Project
3D-ICONS will bring exciting and engaging 3D models and constructions to Europeana end users– Rapid in-roads in gaming, TV and films– Challenge for Cultural Heritage sector to bring their
3D models used for scientific & research purposes into the public domain
• 3D real life models of monuments and buildings• Complete sites such as Pompeii• Virtual reality models• Fly-throughs, …

Objectives
Focus on 3D content:– Models & reconstructions– Enlarged models of important features and details– Related images, texts and videos.
Enable the ‘re-contextulization’ of objects held elsewhere (e.g. museums)Enable ‘access’ to inaccessible sitesDigitisation and 3D-scanning of buildings and sitesConversion of existing 3D content into user-friendly formats for Europeana end users.– General public, tourists, students, cultural heritage institutions
who need to produce 3D documentation about their important monuments and buildings, content providers & SMEs looking for sustainable business processes.

Targeted content
16 partners from 11 different countries providing content:
Pompeii, Italy Newgrange, Ireland

IPR Issues
Metadata provided to Europeana under CC0 licence– EDM schema elements– Based upon the CARARE schema
End user clicks on URL– Taken to landing page
• Choice of models, formats• IPR information
Project Consortium Agreement– Access to IPR unless otherwise
specified in the Annexes.Advice on how to handle IPR
Sculpture of Cerrillo Blanco

Technologies
Scanning equipment– Various technologies in use
3D Data acquisition– Surveying, modelling, …
3D model construction– MeshLab, Blender
Creation of 3D models– CityEngine (3D-COFORM)
Metadata and harvesting– OAI-PMH compliant repositories, MINT
and MORE tools.Publication– 3D-PDF, WebGL, SpiderGL, HTML5.

The challenges
Suitable formats for end users– Viewable on home computers, preferably without
plug-ins or installation of special viewersReduction and simplification of 3D models– Without compromising quality and impact
Metadata – Extension to CARARE schema without over-
complicating but mapable to the EDMIPR management and business planning– Advice and recommended approaches
http://www.3dicons-project.eu VAST 2012
Work in progress
Survey of current 3D-content:– Format, current IPR status (simple), size, technologies
and methodologies used, …Separate survey of current IPR practices and Initial Report on IPR completed.Analysis of monument inventory to decide data acquisition, post-processing, …– Each partner to create digitisation schedule– Case studies
Formats for EuropeanaMetadata and thesauri

Digitisation & scanning
http://www.3dicons-project.eu VAST 2012
The end result
3D-ICONS will use the CARARE aggregation service– ORE OAI aggregation – Linked Open Data
3D-ICONS will create a production pipeline– Flexibility in data creation– Advanced semantics/rich metadata– Quality assurance– Business model
• Cost analysis, IPR, organizational models– Attractiveness for end users.
3D-ICONS will an exemplar for making complex 3D models available to the public domain.
