CHANGES - Spoke 4. Data Management Plan: final version

The activities of Spoke 4 - Virtual Technologies for museums and art collections focus on the impact of digital cultural heritage (DHC), compared to the current views on tangible and intangible heritage. The final objective is to make the digital enhancement of cultural heritage a permanent and widespread practice in museums and art collections, in order to: - Increase the knowledge and organization of artifacts in all forms - Expand the general public involvement - Improve and make more sustainable the exhibition potential - Improve accessibility, inclusiveness, participation, enjoyment and sustainability. In addition, in line with the objectives of the NRRP1, the project reinforces multidisciplinary research on a topic of strategic value; introduces innovative models for basic research, promoting synergies between universities, cultural heritage institutions and companies (through the implementation of pilot studies involving national museums and art collections); empowers existing research infrastructures and supports innovation by developing specific competences. This Data Management Plan describes the categories of data produced and re-used within the project and details how they are handled in a transparent manner and according to FAIR principles and open science principles. This deliverable is a living document and has evolved during the lifespan of the project. The first version was published in May 2023; the second version in February 2024; this final planned update has been published in February 2025 (M27 of the project).
