“…The framework includes a set of abstract components, a reference architecture and a pipeline, that we illustrated with the help of a case study, the Labyrinth system. After describing the design and implementation of the 3D interface of the Labyrinth system, we illustrated the results of an evaluation of the system, conducted in the spirit of participatory heritage innovation envisaged by [39].…”

Abstract-During the last decade, cultural heritage has moved toward the encoding of information in semantic format. Ontologies make the description of artworks clearer, unambiguous and often self-explanatory, with advantages in terms of interoperability. In cultural heritage, the current shift toward semantic encoding opens the way to the creation of interfaces that allow the users to orientate themselves easily in media repositories through a visual representation of their properties and relationships. In order to illustrate this approach, we describe a case study in ontologies and visualization for cultural heritage, Labyrinth. In Labyrinth, the user is immersed in a 3D labyrinth where turning points and paths represent a set of cultural artifacts and the semantic relations holding among them.

“…Inspired by the notion of participatory design in heritage [39], some specific design choices, like the setting of the labyrinth, were also tested. We also asked users to express preferences about the use of the system, aimed at gathering information for the design of new similar applications within the proposed framework.…”

“…In this scenario, cultural institutions have taken advantage of participatory design approaches that have been successful in other sectors [60] in order to try to increase audience engagement in their collections and encourage a dialogue with their visitors, adopting more audience-centred practices [59]. For instance, cultural institutions have adopted participatory design to build interactive experiences that enhance the exhibition space and facilitate the engagement of new audiences [27,48,62,68]. Co-design methodologies have also been refined to empower cultural heritage professionals to be more active in the design and direct management of digitally-enhanced visitor experiences [16].…”

Bridging cultural heritage and communities through digital technologies: Understanding perspectives and challenges GIGLITTO, Danilo, CIOLFI, Luigina , CLAISSE, Caroline and LOCKLEY, Eleanor Available from Sheffield Hallam University Research Archive (SHURA) at:ABSTRACT We present and discuss the results of a qualitative study aimed at identifying what role interactive digital technologies could play in facilitating the participation of communities at risk of exclusion (particularly migrants and refugees) in cultural and heritage-related activities. Culture and heritage are known to be key factors in fostering social inclusion, and this has the potential for contributing to both the wellbeing of these communities and to cultural institutions themselves. Through surveys and interviews with two cohorts of participants (cultural heritage professionals and community facilitators), we gathered insights about their perspectives on how ICT tools could support their work with and for communities, as well as the challenges they face. This work sheds light on the opportunities and barriers surrounding the use of digital technologies for participation in the cultural heritage sector, which is timely due to the increasing focus on grassroots and community-led heritage initiatives and to the growing body of work on participatory ICT in disciplines such as human-computer interaction and community informatics.

“…The challenge is to find the tools and techniques for dialogue and awareness, which enable the voices of the participants to be valued at a level equal to that of the museum professionals ( Tzibazi, 2013 ;Stuedahl and Skåtun, 2018 ). Giving authority and legitimacy to young audience groups in the design process may challenge the professionalism of the museum professionals if they are not seeing the intentions of dialogue, negotiation and critique as a means of developing meaningful alternatives ( Smith and Iversen, 2014 ). A participatory approach that includes audience in the curatorial process, such as in the conceptual, operational and evaluation phases of exhibition design, would also require a common agenda and integrated methods on all levels of the museum organisation ( Taxén, 2004 ).…”

European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices focuses on the intersection of heritage, dialogue and digital culture in the context of Europe. Responding to the increased emphasis on the potential for heritage and digital technologies to foster dialogue and engender communitarian identities in Europe, the book explores what kind of role digital tools, platforms and practices play in supporting and challenging dialogue about heritage in the region. Drawing on fieldwork involving several European museums and heritage organisations, the chapters in this volume critically engage with the role of digital technology in heritage work and its association with ideas of democratisation, multivocality and possibilities for feedback and dialogic engagement in the emerging digital public sphere. The book also provides a framework for understanding dialogue in relation to other commonly used approaches in heritage institutions, such as participation, engagement and intercultural exchange. The authors map out the complex landscape of digitally mediated heritage practices in Europe, both official and unofficial, by capturing three distinct areas of practice: perceptions and applications of digitally mediated dialogues around heritage within European museums and cultural policy, facilitation of dialogue between European museums and communities through participatory design approaches and non-official mobilisation of heritage on social media. European Heritage, Dialogue and Digital Practices will be of interest to both scholars and students in the fields of heritage and museum studies, digital heritage, media studies and communication, the digital humanities, sociology and memory studies. The book will also appeal to policy makers and professionals working in a variety of fields. Areti Galani is a Senior Lecturer in Media, Culture, Heritage at Newcastle University, UK, specialising in digital cultural heritage. She works with peoplecentred methodologies and research-through-design approaches to explore the role of digital technologies in heritage contexts, on-site and online. She has published on issues related to empathy, reflexivity and sociality in designing and evaluating [digitally mediated] heritage experiences. Rhiannon Mason is a Professor of Heritage and Cultural Studies and the head of the School of Arts and Cultures in Newcastle University, UK. Her research and teaching are focused on heritage, identity and nationalism, and she has published extensively around these topics as well as issues of emotion, memory and migration.
