The need for shared standards in the visualization of cultural heritage is widely recognized (London Charter, 2006; Seville Principles, 2011) but practice remains diverse. Data ontologies like CIDOC-CRM suggest new standards for underpinning data architecture. Emerging tools such as Historical BIM and prototype IIIF-3D viewers offer new methodologies for viewing and annotating 3D models. This workshop brings together leading projects in the field from the UK and German research areas, together with other specialists from the US and Europe, to review current work and assess future developments.

Issues addressed include visualizing incomplete or uncertain data; the understanding of lost architectural structures and their function; current approaches to the integration of 2D geo-data and 3D visualization; differing demands of research, cultural heritage, industry and documentation; the pros and cons of uniformity versus diversity in standards; and issues of accessibility, equity, and open access.
