from expressing alternative interpretations, probability or confidence in visual-based heritage research to providing a basis for robust scholarly interrogation, and from describing workflows, data acquisition methods and parameters to supporting sustainability and high quality of data and its preservation approaches.</p> <p style="text-align: left">Now widely seen, along with Metadata and geometrical data, as part of the trinity that indicates high-quality 3D digital resources, both for enriching 3D assets, creating knowledge and promoting reusability, the Digital Cultural Heritage community still lacks a definitive description and differentiation of what Paradata and Metadata are, their benefits to stakeholders, owners, the multidisciplinary DCH community, digital scholarship, and compliance with the <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/news/commission-proposes-common-european-data-space-cultural-heritage">European Commission Recommendation for the collection of 3D-digitised cultural heritage assets</a>.</p> <p>This workshop will bring together professionals from the spectrum of Digital Cultural Heritage practice to share their experiences of using and working with Paradata seeking to lay down a common understanding of Paradata as a first step towards a community-built set of standards and expectations for its application to 3D documentation and the creation of knowledge.</p> <p>If you have worked with Paradata and Metadata within any 3D Digital Cultural Heritage context, we cordially invite you to submit an abstract for presentation at the workshop.
