What this project is about

weave-logo-tempWEAVE contributes to preserving for future generations the richness of the European identity and its cultural plurality. In particular, the project aggregated over 5,000 new high-quality records to Europeana related to the rich and invaluable cultural heritage of minority cultural communities, and showcase these collections in a set of engaging editorials and a virtual exhibition. The project carried out capacity building activities to develop a closer connection between cultural heritage institutions (CHIs), minority cultural communities and Europeana. weave kick-off

Additionally, WEAVE developed a set of open and reusable tools which employed a mix of AI, machine learning, natural language processing, big data analysis and innovative interface engineering. The toolkit allowed the management of annotations, semi-automatic recognition of specific gestures and movements and visualisation of performances and 3D models.

Finally, it has offered training, capacity building and guidelines with a focus on proper handling of immaterial cultural heritage and working with vulnerable and marginalised communities.
