The dissertation investigates the visual interpretation of heritage\nobjects and practices providing both a theoretical framework for understanding\nthe process of meaning-assignment and a formal ontology for grounding\npropositions about visual objects into a constituent-based framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thesis starts its investigation from the theory of the perception\nof heritage, illustrating the nuclear components used in the process of\ninterpretation as a way to understand how the meaning of the object is\nconstructed. The dissertation advances a functional theory for the\nclassification of the perceptual experience, correlating perceived signals to\nsituations and physical things. The resulting structure helps to examine the\nmeaning assignment of cultural content and to study the framing of both\nphysical objects and performative actions in our everyday visual experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broad relevance of the framework in the context of the heritage\npractice is made explicit using pictorial examples of a famous subject of\nEastern and Western art: Saint George. Instances of the visual representations\nof the saint are used to demonstrate both the function of the theoretical\nframework as well as its alignment with some iconographical representation\ntheories in Art History. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The framework is then used to guide the formalisation of an ontology,\nconstructed as an extension of CIDOC-CRM to sustain recording of\ninterpretations as statements about the constitutional elements within a visual\nrepresentation. The result, tested with artworks coming from the church of\nAsinou, a small Byzantine foundation in Cyprus, demonstrates the capacity of\nthe formal ontology to record the denotative and the connotative dimension of\niconographical objects, unveiling their contextual meaning through the\nclarification of symbols, constituents, use within liturgical performances and\nhistorical influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ontology is further linked and harmonised with 3D data annotations\nstructures, providing a framework of operation for using the ontology to\nclassify visual annotations within a three-dimensional environment. Linked and\nharmonised with the W3C Web Annotation Data Model, the ontology is used to test\nthe creation of semantic 3D annotations within the Aioli project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having addressed the feasibility of the ontology to document the\nmeaning-assignment in visual work, the dissertation further elaborates on the\nvalidity of the recorded information, specifically the one grounded on digital\nmediations such as photographs or three-dimensional hyper-realistic\nreconstructions. In order to tackle the problem, a provenance-based framework\nfor the documentation of reality-based recording is presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The framework provides a semantic formalisation for recording the\ndifferent steps of a digitisation workflow in order to document the accuracy\nand reliability of the process as well as to frame the results as scholarly\nproduct and not mere visual artefact. The result is a single graph of object,\npractice and meanings linked together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
