Context  

Cultural heritage involves dealing with vast amounts of data, where understanding the significance of the data is particularly crucial, especially when it pertains to people's opinions, perceptions, interpretations of the past and present, or their emotions, preferences, and attitudes. In the cultural heritage domain, the application  of Artificial Intelligence is playing an increasingly significant role in supporting promotion and research activities. The advent of digital technologies has paved the way for the application of AI for the development of new tools and monitoring systems for the study, conservation, and accessibility of cultural heritage. This has improved our understanding of the past and the ability to preserve and transmit it to new generations, bridging the gap between heritage and the public and allowing heritage to play a role as a driver of cultural and social progress.

This Workshop focuses on analytics methods and tools tailored for cultural heritage, as well as experiences from adapting or applying general-purpose solutions to this domain. The goal is to collect solutions, lessons learned, methodologies, and best practices that researchers and practitioners can draw upon for their work in this field.

The workshop aims to foster collaboration among researchers from various disciplines, presenting and exchanging ideas and progress related to the use of Big Data, Internet of Things, Social Media, and Artificial Intelligence in the field of management, conservation, and fruition of cultural heritage. The goal is to engage professionals in the information and technology management sector, discussing innovative technologies and end-to-end solutions to address challenges in the field of interest. CH&BD will encourage discussions on ethical aspects and sustainability issues in the management, delivery, and conservation of cultural heritage. It will focus on engaging diverse perspectives and communities involved in various capacities in the conservation of cultural heritage.
