A Cultural Heritage Repository as Source for Learning Materials

We discuss a system for the digital capture of museum artefacts which are accumulated into a multimedia repository comprising 3D models, images, video and sound clips as well as textual descriptions. A comprehensive set of metadata is recorded and stored alongside these various media with the aim of reusing and re-purposing them for multiple applications. We investigate issues relating to both internal and external interoperability to enable the creation of learning scenarios within the system itself as well as the export of primary multimedia objects into an independent, external Learning Content Management System for the creation of complex Learning Objects. Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: ThreeDimensional Graphics and Realism; K.3.1 [Computers and Education]: Computer Uses in Education; H.2.8 [Database Management]: Database Applications
