Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of validating digital documentation of cultural heritage. The trustworthiness of digital replicas of cultural objects relies on the presence of paradata, i.e. data concerning the provenance of the digital document. Several cases are considered, suggesting solutions to support the digital documentation, either born digital through automatic data acquisition or resulting from post-processing of captured data. Also interpretive digital models are considered and a tool for annotating digital objects is presented.
