Abstract

Abstract. The workgroup for Digital Reconstruction of the Digital Humanities in the German-speaking area association (Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum e.V.) was founded in 2014 as cross-disciplinary scientific society dealing with all aspects of digital reconstruction of cultural heritage and currently involves more than 40 German researchers. Moreover, the workgroup is dedicated to synchronise and foster methodological research for these topics. As one preliminary result a memorandum was created to name urgent research challenges and prospects in a condensed way and assemble a research agenda which could propose demands for further research and development activities within the next years. The version presented within this paper was originally created as a contribution to the so-called agenda development process initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in 2014 and has been amended during a joint meeting of the digital reconstruction workgroup in November 2014.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

For more than 3 decades, digital 3D reconstructions of cultural heritage objects have been carried out on many projects. The first version of this research agenda was originally created as a contribution to the so-called agenda development process initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in 2014 It was aimed at identifying upcoming research topics and funding needs especially from the point of view of a German community dealing with digital reconstruction (Arbeitsgruppe Digitale Rekonstruktion des Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum e.V., 2014). It contained contributions submitted by 13 researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds and perspectives on digital reconstruction. Even if the research agenda was created by a German scholarly community focusing on German perspectives, many of the topics addressed may be relevant to an international community
