Tourism 4.0 Technical guidelines: Digitisation of Cultural Heritage

The guidelines offer a technical framework to all actors involved in digitisation processes

Summary

The Tourism 4.0 Partnership has established T4.0 Technical Guidelines: Digital Innovation of Cultural Heritage that represent the basic technical standards in the process of digitisation of cultural heritage. The guidelines offer a technical framework to all actors involved in digitisation processes - heritage institutions, local and national governments, public services, technology companies and other stakeholders.

The largest contribution of this document is in the field of digitisation of three-dimensional objects and structures (in the form of 3D models) and video materials. This is the area that has changed and developed the most since the last update of Guidelines for the capture, long-term preservation and access to cultural heritage in digital form from 2013.
