21.5 Scenario UNESCO1: Villa LIVIA
The Villa of Livia was a Roman villa with a view down the Tiber towards Rome.
The villa was rediscovered in 1596, and in 1867 the Augustus of Prima Porta was
retrieved from the site. Modern archaeological excavations of the site have been
ongoing since 1970.
The Villa Livia dataset is a collection of files used within the “virtual museum
of the ancient Via Flaminia” project: a 3D reconstruction of several archaeological
sites along the ancient Via Flaminia, the largest of them being Villa Livia.
A rough estimate of the total dataset size is 500 GB. File types in this set include:
•
3D point clouds (imp, dxf, dwg)
•
Elevation grids (agr, bt)
•
3D meshes (mdl, vrml, v3d)
•
Textured 3D models (max, pmr, ive, osg)
•
Satellite data (ers, ecw)
•
GPS data, maps (txt, apm, shp)
•
Digital images (targa, jpeg, tiff, png, psd, bmp, gif, dds)
21.5.1 Actors/Designated Communities
The actors in the scenario can be characterised as being in one or more of the
following three categories:
•
Providers
◦
Providers provide the materials to be archived.
•
Consumers
◦
Consumers access the archived materials.
•
Curators
◦
Curators manage the preservation of the archived materials.
Five groups of actors have been identified within the context of the scenario, and
have been characterised as follows:
•
3D Reconstruction Experts
◦
Providers, Consumers
•
UNESCO World Heritage experts
◦
Curators
•
World Heritage site authorities
◦
Providers, Consumers
•
World Heritage Committee
◦
Consumers
•
General public
◦
