The Heritage Digital Twin: a bicycle made for two. The integration of digital methodologies into cultural heritage research

Abstract

<ns3:p>The paper concerns the definition of a novel ontology for cultural heritage based on the concept of digital twin. The ontology, called Heritage Digital Twin ontology, is a compatible extension of the well-known CIDOC CRM ISO standard for cultural heritage documentation and incorporates all the different documentation systems presently in use for cultural heritage documentation. In the authors’ view, it supports documentation interoperability at a higher level than the ones currently in use and enables effective cooperation among different users.</ns3:p>
