TRAVELLING CULTURE: DEFINE, IMPLEMENT, ENRICH AND DISSEMINATE THE DIGITAL CULTURAL HERITAGE. THE" DIGITXL PROJECT" CASE STUDY

In the last decades, the digitalization of the cultural heritage has become actual, promoting not only the conservation of the most fragile artefacts but also the enjoyment of the cultural objects. The importance of increasing the digitalization process of cultural heritage has been confirmed during the critical times of the last two years. In order to provide a useful tool to catalogue, digitalize and enrich the document flows, an infrastructure to integrate, manage and display data and information from archives, museums and libraries is being studied and developed. One of the steps to be addressed to develop the GECA infrastructure consists in comparing and mapping the most used national and international descriptive standards adopted in archives, museums, and libraries. The standards mapping is key to developing new cataloguing data sheets, to ease the insertion of information also for those who are not professionals in the domain. To promote cultural enjoyment for every kind of target audience, cultural narratives could be developed, to encourage not only web search, but also an interaction with the cultural object. This study aims also to contribute at the creation and promotion of thematic routes that aggregate information from distinct domain of studies and provide for the cultural object to be perceived, experienced, and studied.
