• the use of UAVs and related technologies in capturing documentation;
• automated metadata extraction and crowd;
• realizing the potential of big data management and opportunities created by the vast volume, variety and velocity of mainly unstructured new data, generated every day most for finding and using previously inaccessible European digital content;

C. DCH Data Processing

• user-oriented metadata and ontology standards for the description and exchange of DCH data;
• metadata designs especially of language-based data close to human conceptual systems and gaining insights from data in natural language;
• innovative tools and methods to extract meaning from digital artefacts, including Video Recordings, Audio Recordings, Digital images, Text, Multi-Spectral and Thermal information
• 3D representations of objects or scenes;
• generation and presentation of localized DCH content and its documentation to enhance audience value (in services such as Europeana.eu) for example through efficient and innovative acquisition and deployment of Geospatial Data.

D. DCH Data Modelling

• data modelling and #Semantics, including those for Intangible Heritage and the modelling of DCH;

• classification and typology of objects, sites and monuments and its impact on media display and environments where these can be exhibited;
• using immersive VR and AR technology (Mixed Reality – MR) to blend and/or emphasize dimensions and detail environmental experiences;
• interactive environments in DCH e.g. re-creating 3D space through spatial references, imaging and modelling.

E. DCH Knowledge Management (Interpretation)

• establishing meaningful narratives (Storytelling) for DCH objects which are meaningful to identified user groups for interpretation purposes;
• using Crowdsourcing and the Internet to provide documentation resources for experiencing, contributing and gaining understanding in Cultural Heritage scenarios;
• systems for managing and re-using complex documentation and deriving knowledge e.g. for Monuments and Sites;
• applications of Artificial Intelligence/ Machine Learning in DCH;
• applying Big-Data Analytics to DCH;
• the role and applications of Linked Open-Data in enriching DCH information, linking exhibited content to other relevant content to provide greater understanding;
• curation of digital assets;
• linking exhibited content to other relevant content to provide greater understanding of the viewed item.

F. DCH Preservation

• documentation for the preservation of European Heritage;
• the virtual or actual reconstruction of Destroyed or degraded sites and Artefacts including the digital restoration of important monuments destroyed during conflict protecting against or remedying Looting and Destruction;
• virtual ‘reunification’ of CH assets which have been scattered to different parts of Europe and the world.

G. DCH Use and ReUse

• cost reduction and simplification of digital technologies;
• Personalisation and interactivity of viewing experiences in DCH, including the use of social media;
• new types of User Experiences (UX) with DCH that arise from the current ‘hardware and software revolution’ in the realms of VR/AR; interface selection (e.g. Augmented Reality, holograms) to allow seamless blending of on-site and on-line dimensions;
• visualisation techniques and their combination in different contexts, drawing on the state of the art in technology and standards e.g. for Interactive Video (IV); Immersive VR (IVR); Augmented Reality (AR); 3D Real-time Editors (Game-Engines), Ultra High and Giga-Pixel Panoramas; infinite zooming images; VR Wearables and Gesture Recognition Interfaces;
• inter-disciplinary collaborative research to establish paradigms in socio-economic areas of DCH impact e.g. Tourism, Education, Employment, Economic Growth;
• crowdsourcing, co-creation and Citizen-Science;
• using innovative Social-Platforms to exchange user experiences and support multidisciplinary approaches.
