Call for papers – December 2023 special issue

"Information technologies, data management, and digital storytelling 
onheritage tours and trails"


Special Issue Editors: Angeliki Antoniou, Christos Chrysanthopoulos, 
Foteini Efthymiou


In recent years there has been an explosion in the production of digital 
cultural products for heritage and historical tours and trails. This 
practice forms areas of convergence between many fields and 
organizations, and discussing the new possibilities emerging within 
information science is essential. Digital and virtual guides, 
exhibitions, applications, etc., form a new framework for the 
coexistence of historical and contemporary experiences through new 
information technologies. With this practice, through a database, a 
network analysis map, or, more generally, the semantic web, it is 
possible to build links between sources, events, places, dates, or 
persons. Information and memory institutions, universities and research 
institutions, institutions and informal groups, and for-profit and 
non-profit companies are involved in such projects, creating a complex 
network of collaborative work. But how is this connection of information 
and collaboration formed? What technologies and standards are used? What 
are the characteristics of the research working groups, and what are the 
financial requirements of the projects? What about copyright and the 
sustainability of such projects? What changes do these projects bring to 
understanding the past and forming historical conciseness? How does this 
debate intersect with open science and the dissemination of knowledge? 
How is a new relationship between information science and the digital 
and public humanities taking shape? The papers of this special issue 
should address the above questions. We also want to document problems 
and failures during the research process to highlight these projects' 
experimental dimensions. The issue aims to shape a reflective discourse 
on interdisciplinary work on this topic.
