curated by Ignazio Caloggero
PRESS RELEASE: The project has evolved, for details visit the Heritage 4.0 Project page: From Access to the Semantic Archive through experiential itineraries
The “Heritage” Cultural Heritage Multi Archive is made up of around one hundred integrated thematic and territorial archives containing the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Sicily and Malta and has the following characteristics which are typical of web 3.0: Multimedia, GeoWeb, SocialWeb, Multi-thematic and Multi-territorial (Multi-archive), Advanced Search, WikiWeb and Multilingual.
The Heritage Archive, the result of over thirty years of data collection, is a public, non-profit archive with a purely informational and scientific purpose. Currently (December 2023), with over 13.000 catalogued items, it is likely the largest next-generation multimedia cultural archive ever created. To learn more about its features and how it works, visit the "Heritage" Multi-Cultural Archive Features and Operation page.
