New publications about the additions of Timo Homburg
to GigaMesh in terms of technical " Schema and for Capturing and Processing of Objects" with examples of the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (RGZM) contribute by Laura Raddatz and Anja Cramer. The article is available via Springer's Heritage Science Open Access journal:

Motivated by the increased use of 3D acquisition of objects by cultural heritage institutions, we were investigating ontologies and metadata schemes for the acquisition process to provide details about the 3D capturing, which can be combined with preexisting ontologies describing an object. Therefor...
