Abstract

Approaches to both metadata in 3D cultural heritage and strengthening the integration of paradata have been clearly focused on developing new technological solutions. New technologies allow novel and richer communication participation yet metadata in 3D cultural heritage has been decided by a combination of specialized individuals and by frameworks of quantitative standards, but this does not address how to engage and educate the public. As a potential solution, this paper will suggest that metadata and paradata should be linked to UXdata (data recording participant feedback).
