Overview

This volume explores the transformation of Digital Humanities (DH) research by AI and smart data, offering global perspectives on innovative methodologies and practices in cultural heritage, with contributions from Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Moving from big data to smart data and into the AI era, DH researchers continue to develop new concepts, methodologies, and practices. Smart data, which provides insights from trusted, contextualised, cognitive, predictive, and consumable data at any scale, will continue to hold significant value in our field with AI providing additional support. Addressing both approach and practice, this volume presents the latest advancements and trends in AI and smart data for cultural heritage in DH. It also makes a valuable contribution to critical theories, methods, and practices for leveraging these technologies in cultural heritage.
