• creation of standards for 3D documentation and knowledge management.

DCH Data Acquisition

• advanced digitisation and approaches such as mass, crowdsourced and on-demand digitisation;
• methods for crowdsourcing content and allowing user-generated content for DCH in the cloud on cloud-computing for DCH, e.g. by leveraging popular photography;
• 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;

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.

Benefits

The yearly gross salary of the ERs is based upon qualifications and experience. From this amount employer and employee contributions to the Cyprus government funds will be deducted.
