Cultural heritage worldwide faces an escalating threat from catastrophic destruction and illicit trafficking. To tackle this vulnerability, the European Union has launched the European Collaborative Cloud for Cultural Heritage (ECCCH) to store, analyze, and validate digital heritage records securely. This webinar demonstrates how multi-scale 3D documentation can directly feed into this emerging European ecosystem to support provenance tracking, risk assessment, and legal reclamation.
Grounded in the open science principles advocated by the ECHOES (European Cloud for Heritage Open Science) initiative, this webinar explores the practical creation of Heritage Digital Twins (HDTs). Drawing on current professional and academic practices, the webinar demonstrates the deployment of distinct 3D modelling workflows across three scales: urban landscapes, standalone architectural structures, and artifacts (including museum collections and material rescued from illicit excavations).
Finally, an outline of a strategic roadmap will be demonstrated for capacity building tailored for local archaeologists and curators. Attendees will learn how to leverage these interoperable European frameworks and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data standards to establish a resilient, legally robust traceability pipeline for global heritage protection.
