ISKO UK Event "Seeing is believing: new technologies for cultural heritage"

You are cordially invited ot the next ISKO UK event "Seeing is believing: new technologies for cultural heritage"

DATE: 9th June 2010, 13:30-19:00
VENUE: University College London
FEE: £20 (ISKO members & students free)

The organization of, and access to, cultural and humanistic resources presents particular problems because of the diversity of material and the uniqueness of many individual items. Issues of natural language and the semantic complexity of resources add to the mix and provide many challenges for those working in this field.

This ISKO UK seminar will provide an opportunity to learn about current work with texts, archives, objects and museum collections, from both a theoretical and an implementation standpoint, and to look at a variety of approaches to the material. We will also hear about user contribution through Web 2.0 solutions.
