Cultural heritage institutions are continuously rethinking the access to their collections to allow the public as well as scholars and professionals to interpret and contribute to their collections. An important role in the interpretation of cultural heritage collections is played by ‘historic events ’, which meaning keeps being re-discovered and re-interpreted in light of modern discussions.
The EVENTS2017 workshop is intended for researchers, practitioners, and students of ICT, Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage domains. The workshop will explore top-down the state-of-the-art and work in progress in the space around events, e.g. detecting, modelling and representing events, with a special focus in the cultural heritage domain.
During the workshop we aim to identify the typical user groups, tasks and roles in order to achieve an adequate modelling and representation of events in online multimedia collections. We intend to create a base level of mutual understanding of the main topics, to provide a platform for joint exploration of concrete solutions to existing challenges.
