“…In the Labyrinth system, the editing phase was conducted through a back-end interface 9 the allows content editing professionals to describe and upload new items to the system repository (see Figure 3 for a screenshot of the back-end). When a new item is added to the repository its description is inserted through a web form, so as to alleviate the annotator from the use of a formal language.…”

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.

“…This work tackles the integration of semantic information to 3D models in web browsers in the domain of cultural heritage where ing the documentation and presentation of items can actually benefit from the association of semantic information to 3D models. [Calori et al 2008] presented a framework for 3D realtime applications in web browsers that is based on FOSS technologies. In the reported version, a crowd of Roman characters is introduced in the Forum, a highly detailed set of buildings that belong to the Rome Reborn model.…”

“…[Calori et al 2008;Cabral et al 2007]), and to visit existent, but remotely located locations, such as world-wide cultural institutions (such as Google Art Project 1 ). For preservation purposes, web 3D provides scholars and cultural heritage professionals with a way to consult and maintain visual repositories of real exhibits, with the possibility of visualizing, comparing and studying 3D digital equivalents of real artworks physically situated in different locations (see, e.g., [Rodriguez-Echavarria et al 2009…”

This paper describes a 3D tour of exhibitions set up for the celebration of the 150 years of Italian unity. Through a specifically developed Web plugin, the users can navigate the reconstruction of the exhibitions and receive information about the exhibits. The 3D tour is embedded in a Web 3.0 portal (name omitted for blind review) designed for the promotion and dissemination of the exhibitions. The portal integrates the social and the Web 3D components in an immersive environment, where users can switch from the 3D visit to the standard hypertext-base visit or take advantage of recommendations and obtain information without abandoning the 3D environment. In this paper, we describe the design and technologies that characterize the 3D visit and its experimental evaluation, conducted on real users.

“…In this project, the use of 3D is integrated with animated characters of ancient Romans, who interact with the users. A similar approach is proposed by [27], who present a framework for 3D real time applications in web browsers, employed to develop virtual reconstructions of Rome (Virtual Rome project) and other Italian locations [28]. Labyrinth di↵erentiates from these approaches since the 3D representation is not employed to reconstruct real environments or to create virtual ones, but as a tool to convey semantic relations through a visual environment.…”

In cultural heritage, the use of ontologies makes the description of artworks clearer and self-explanatory, with advantages in terms of interoperability. The current shift towards semantic encoding opens the way to the creation of interfaces that allow the users to build personal paths in heritage collections by exploiting the relations over the artworks.In the attempt to leverage this multiplicity of paths, we designed and implemented a system, called Labyrinth 3D, which integrates the semantic annotation of cultural objects with the interaction style of 3D games. The system immerses the user into a virtual 3D labyrinth, where turning points and paths represent the semantic relations over cultural objects, with the goal of engaging the user in the exploration of the collection.
