Abstract

3D-ICONS is a European project which will enhance the content base available to Europeana users through targeted 3D digitization of European architectural and archaeological monuments. The "3D Icons" will be selected through their listing by UNESCO on its World Heritage (WH). The project aims to complement the collections which are being made accessible to Europeana via CARARE, Europeana Local, Athena and other projects which have developed the content base for the cultural heritage. 3D-ICONS aims to complement the 3D content brought to Europeana via the CARARE project, enabling public access to complex models and increasing the critical mass of this engaging type of content.
