Integrating Paradata, Metadata, and Data for an Effective Memory Twin in the Field of Digital Cultural Heritage

Abstract

The extension of the concept of Digital Twin to Memory Twin offers an innovative approach to preserving and interacting in the field of Digital Cultural Heritage. This paper explores the integration of paradata, metadata and data to construct an effective Memory twin, providing a representation of cultural heritage. Paradata, together with metadata and data, greatly enriches the digital representation of cultural assets. By integrating these layers of information, we aim to develop a framework that enhances the preservation, accessibility and interpretability of digital cultural heritage. This approach enables advanced archival practices, personalised user experiences and improved data authenticity. Through case studies, we demonstrate the potential of this methodology to transform the management and dissemination of cultural heritage in the digital future.
