Abstract

With vast amounts of digitized cultural heritage organized and made accessible in large information systems, methods, workflows and techniques need to be developed to evaluate the quality of cultural heritage (CH) information systems. As these systems are very different from traditional information systems due to their heterogeneous content, the lack of best practices and reliable use cases, evaluation methods need to be adapted and targeted to deliver reliable results. The half-day workshop will bring together experts, researchers and teachers from various disciplines to discuss and develop evaluation approaches adapted to cultural heritage information systems. This workshop comprises approaches assessing the data quality, user and task analysis and system performance of these systems aiming for a holistic overview of complementary research questions, methods and workflows. The results should prove to be useful for standardizing evaluation efforts and campaigns in this domain, offering a reusable repertoire of evaluation methods that makes them comparable.
