Definitions

Cultural heritage information management mainly concerns the development of tools and applications for the storage, processing and retrieval of cultural digital contents, coming from distributed and heterogeneous data sources such as digital libraries and archives of cultural foundations, multimedia art collections, web encyclopedias and social media networks, and so on. In addition, if we also consider data from possible sensor networks – deployed in a given cultural environment (e.g., museums, archeological sites, old town centers, etc.) – the information to manage assumes characteristics of volume, velocity, and variety typical of big data. Thus, technologies for big data management can be properly investigated to realize a useful platform for cultural heritage applications.

Overview

In this chapter, we describe the main technological challenges and issues for the management of Big Data related to the Cultural Heritage domain.
