Typical workflows, documentation approaches and principles of 3D digital reconstruction of cultural heritage

Abstract

Three-dimensional, scholarly computer models are part of digital cultural heritage. As such, they should be considered as a medium of communication and put under the scrutiny of academic research. Starting by outlining the background to the Author’s research, specific topics such as typologies of threedimensional models, their use in scholarship and relevant work processes are considered in detail. Based on current studies and investigation of working processes, a definition of typology terms and guidelines are discussed.
