Recording Process of Visual Archive for Cultural Heritage

Abstract

This paper discussed the recording process and context of the visual archive which records the cultural heritage in video. The cultural heritage record has a value for permanent preservation by being a core material for national and cultural identity of a country, and has its own value as information. Visual archive is one of the recording methods for cultural heritage along with the static image like a picture and the reports documenting contents in writing. Visual archive is useful for the efficient delivery of information with visual images and audio system. Context should be considered to distinguish between data and information more clearly in the process of production and utilization of information. The transformation process of data to information was studied by considering context during the process of recording cultural heritage in images. As a result, we expect that cultural heritage is classified by knowledge information and becomes a foundation used actively for creating cultural contents.
