Identifying technologies used in Cultural Heritage

There are a growing number of Information Communication Technology (ICT) applications in cultural heritage. However despite funding constraints, projects often involve similar or even duplicate work carried out at the same site. This emphasizes the need for an enterprise whose purpose is to coordinate research projects in this field. The EPOCH programme has been established to address this requirement. This paper focuses on the development of a diagram depicting the technologies used in cultural heritage research from papers presented at VAST 2003. The aim of this paper is to draw together technologies currently being used by researchers in the cultural heritage sector in order to direct future research in this field.
