Modelling, Interpretation and Alternate Representations: Visualization technology, Heritage Buildings & Coastal Threats.

所有的遗产解释都是复杂的。它通常基于不确定的信息，或从其他网站推断的信息。遗址可能涵盖多个时期，或具有不同的功能。我们的方法将帮助遗产管理人员可视化和展示他们遗址过去的不同阶段(如果需要，还可以展示过去的不同版本)。我们还将制作模型，通过显示不同情景的不同可能结果来描述未来趋势。这种方法反映了可视化和展示方面的广泛认识的差距及其在遗产科学中的作用，正如欧洲开放文化遗产卓越网络和其他机构所认识到的那样。它涉及解决可视化研究中的相当大的挑战，这构成了网络讨论的第一阶段。该网络旨在进一步发展威尔士-爱尔兰海域内外的遗产科学兴趣。它以最佳实践范例为基础，开发新的可视化方法，并将这些技术应用于两种不同但重要的遗产形式--受到威胁的沿海考古遗址和建筑。它将讨论以海洋、环境和考古知识以及建筑物保护和管理知识为基础的建模。它涵盖了多个学科和一系列遗产组织，包括威尔士和爱尔兰国家博物馆、国家信托基金和英国遗产。通过在网络网站和其他地点展示“富媒体”演示--根据讨论制作的互动视频--将有助于更广泛地理解这一方法。它将用于随后的研讨会和与利益攸关方的讨论，并将加强公众参与。随后，该专题组将通过编写一份“议程设置”报告来确定新的研究挑战。最后，将提交一份实质性的赠款提案。

All heritage interpretation is complex. It is often based on uncertain information, or information extrapolated from other sites. Sites may cover many periods or have had varying functions. Our approach will help heritage managers visualize and display different stages of their site's past (and present different versions of that past if desired). We will also produce models which allow the depiction of future trends by showing different possible outcomes from different scenarios. This approach reflects widely recognised gaps within visualization and presentation and its role in heritage science, as recognised by EPOCH - the European Network of Excellence in Open Cultural Heritage - and other bodies. It involves addressing considerable challenges within visualization research, which form the first phase of the network discussions. The network aims to further develop heritage science interest within and beyond the Welsh-Irish sea area. It builds on best practice examples, develops new visualization approaches and applies these techniques to two distinct but important forms of heritage - threatened coastal archaeological sites and buildings. It will discuss modelling informed by maritime, environmental and archaeological knowledge and by knowledge of building preservation and management. It embraces multiple disciplines and a range of heritage organisations, including the National Museums of Wales and Ireland, the National Trust and English Heritage. Wider understanding of this approach will be aided by using a 'rich-media' demo - an interactive video, developed from the discussions - displayed on the network website and in other locations. It will be used in subsequent workshops, in discussions with stakeholders, and will enhance the public engagement. Subsequently the cluster will identify new research challenges through, and lead to the preparation of an 'agenda setting' report. Finally, a substantial grant proposal will be submitted.
