Abstract
English
This article explores how to create reproducible workflows for the 3D acquisition and digitisation of cultural heritage objects to ensure sustainability and reusability across various institutions. In addressing two main research questions, the paper proposes a workflow that involves the systematic acquisition, processing and digitisation of cultural heritage artefacts. In particular, the workflow focuses on developing digital twins for cultural heritage settings and exhibitions and proposes baseline standards for both technical and interpretative aspects of digitisation. The workflow has been derived from and tested on the pilot case of the temporary exhibition The Other Renaissance: Ulisse Aldrovandi and the Wonders of the World, in the context of the CHANGES project. The article reflects on software and hardware equipment to select, the procedures and techniques to use and the formats to adopt to comply with openness, accessibility, transparency, reproducibility, reusability and sustainability in the research workflow, building on previous works on fostering reproducibility in research and improving the interoperability of 3D data across different systems. It highlights the need for transparent documentation of every step of the process, focusing on accountability and practices in the context of cultural heritage research. Finally, the article suggests improvements for enhancing the sustainability of these kinds of workflows and discusses future directions for digitisation efforts and sharing practices.

Questo articolo esplora come creare flussi di lavoro riproducibili per l'acquisizione 3D e la digitalizzazione di oggetti del patrimonio culturale, al fine di garantirne la sostenibilità e la riutilizzabilità in diverse istituzioni. Affrontando due principali quesiti di ricerca, l'articolo propone un flusso di lavoro che prevede l'acquisizione, l'elaborazione e la digitalizzazione sistematica di manufatti del patrimonio culturale. In particolare, il flusso di lavoro si concentra sullo sviluppo di gemelli digitali per allestimenti e mostre che espongono patrimonio culturale e propone standard di base per gli aspetti tecnici e interpretativi della digitalizzazione. Il flusso di lavoro è stato derivato e testato sul caso pilota della mostra temporanea L'Altro Rinascimento: Ulisse Aldrovandi e le Meraviglie del Mondo nell'ambito del progetto CHANGES. Nell’articolo introduciamo le attrezzature software e hardware, le procedure e le tecniche da utilizzare e i formati da adottare per garantire apertura, accessibilità, trasparenza, riproducibilità, riutilizzabilità e sostenibilità del flusso di lavoro di ricerca, basando i nostri risultati su lavori precedenti volti a promuovere la riproducibilità nella ricerca e a migliorare l'interoperabilità dei dati 3D tra sistemi diversi. In particolare, il nostro contributo evidenzia la necessità di documentare in modo trasparente ogni fase del processo, concentrandosi sulla responsabilità e sulle pratiche relative alla ricerca sul patrimonio culturale. Infine, l'articolo suggerisce come migliorare la sostenibilità di questi flussi di lavoro e discute possibili direzioni future per far avanzare i processi di digitalizzazione e le pratiche di condivisione.
