Projektbeschreibung
Eine neue Art, das Erbe der Seide zu entdecken und zu erleben
Europas historisches Seidenerbe war einst ein Symbol für Fortschritt und Innovation. Nun ist diese Kunst vom Aussterben bedroht. Ungeachtet der Bemühungen spezialisierter Museen wird eine wirkungsvolle Bewahrung durch mangelnde Ressourcen und Netzwerke behindert. Im Rahmen des EU-finanzierten Projekts SILKNOW wird ein intelligentes Computersystem mit der Bezeichnung Virtual Loom (virtueller Webstuhl) entwickelt. Im Einzelnen wird es alte Webtechniken digital modellieren. Dank dieses bahnbrechenden Ansatzes werden die Nutzenden das Seidenerbe durch visuelle und greifbare Simulationen erforschen und erleben können. Erweiterte Suchwerkzeuge, automatische visuelle Erkennung und mehrsprachiger Zugang zu digitalen Daten werden die Nutzungserfahrung verbessern. Das multidisziplinäre Team von SILKNOW, das sich aus Fachleuten verschiedener Fachrichtungen zusammensetzt, versucht, die Kluft zwischen der Erhaltung des kulturellen Erbes und den Bedürfnissen von Museen, Bildung und Tourismus zu überbrücken.
Ziel
Silk was a major factor for progress in Europe, mostly along the Western Silk Road’s network of production and market centres. Silk trade also allowed for exchange of ideas and innovations. Punched cards were first used in Jacquard silk looms, long before modern computers were even imagined. Today, too, fashion and high-end textile industries have a huge impact in the EU, reaching €525 billion in annual turnover. Silk, however, has become a seriously endangered heritage. Although many European specialized museums are devoted to its preservation, they usually lack size and resources to establish networks or connections with other collections. SILKNOW aims to produce an intelligent computational system that goes beyond current technologies in order to improve our understanding of European silk heritage. This legacy will be studied, showcased and preserved through the digital modelling of its weaving techniques (a “Virtual Loom”). Users will access the resulting information through visual and tangible simulations, and experience vastly enhanced search tools, providing better results through automatic visual recognition, advanced spatio-temporal visualization, multilingual and semantically enriched access to existing digital data. Thus, SILKNOW will improve the understanding of EU heritage and its rich diversity, applying next-generation ICT research to the needs of various users (museums, education, tourism, creative industries, media…), and preserving an intangible heritage (ancient weaving techniques) for younger generations. Its research activities and outputs will have direct impact in computer science and big data management, focusing on searching digital content in heterogeneous, multilingual and multimodal databases. SILKNOW will be possible only with the close cooperation of a multidisciplinary team, including areas as ICT, text analytics, image processing, semantics, big data, 3D printing, art history, terminology, textile fabrication and conservation.
