| Abstract: | Who would have imagined, just a few years back, the possibility of having whole museums and countless historical sites stored in our personal devices, waiting for us to click on a button and watch their priceless contents unfold on our screens? But that is, indeed, the uncanny, yet wonderful, reality we are living in today, thanks to digitisation. This process of converting physical information, oral traditions and living expressions into a computer-based format is the way forward for the cultural sector. [excerpt] |
