A special issue of Multimodal Technologies and Interaction (ISSN 2414-4088) on "Digital Cultural Heritage"

Cultural Heritage (CH) is an essential expression of the richness and the diversity of our culture and, therefore, its documentation, interpretation, recreation and dissemination are considered crucial tasks. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) provide researchers with powerful tools to deal with the digital acquisition, storage, conservation, recreation, reconstruction and representation of CH assets, both tangible and intangible. Every day, new initiatives are materializing this symbiosis between ICT and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), e.g., for the accurate multi-dimensional documentation of our cultural legacy, the processing of large amounts of data to identify new correlations among digital heterogeneous collections or the increase of CH awareness by means of advanced representation (visual, tangible, etc.) and interaction approaches. Due to the increasing capabilities of new technologies that triggers the growing complexity in the digital documentation and representation of CH, new challenges arise as regards its preservation over time, re-use and study.

This Special Issue seeks for papers approaching the topic from different perspectives and interdisciplinary proposals, which includes the consideration of different areas of knowledge, those more technical (e.g., IT, architecture, etc.) and those related to SSH (e.g., art history, conservation, etc.).
