Introduction

Vast2005 continues the discussions of previous VAST and Eurographics on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (CH) Symposia. The 2005 VAST Symposium will focus on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary research concerning both innovative CH informatics and use of technology for the representation and communication of CH knowledge. The scope includes every phase of CH informatics: initial data capture, information processing, dissemination of results to the scientific community and the general public, and the wider legal and ethical responsibilities of Cultural Informatics.
Research subjects parallel the interests of the EPOCH EU Network , including culturally significant artifacts and sites as well as the activities of museums, libraries, archives, and organizations involved with their care.
