3D-COFORM - Tools and Expertise for 3D Collection Formation

3D-COFORM has the overall aim to make 3D documentation the standard approach in cultural heritage institutions for collection formation and management. 3D-COFORM is addressing the whole life cycle of digital 3D objects (also called 3D documents) spanning the whole chain from acquisition to processing, and from semantic enrichment to modeling and high-quality presentation - all that on the basis of an integrated repository infrastructure. The paper will give an overview of 3D-COFORM and present its current results and contributions
