MIC_Buildings_2

This Zenodo record is part of the XRculture dataset release (Deliverable D2.2 – “New and improved 3D models for CH artefacts”) and provides a curated subset of 51 3D models documenting 48 buildings, archaeological sites and architectural elements contributed by the Italian Ministry of Culture, based on a dedicated data-sharing agreement. The models originate from survey campaigns delivered to the Ministry by 21 territorial authorities and institutes (ICR, MUSEI CIVICI, OPD, SABAP AP-FM-MC, SABAP BAS, SABAP BR-LE-TA, SABAP CH-PE, SABAP CO-LC-MB-PV, and others). The record contains 6 textured mesh models in glTF binary (GLB) and 45 point clouds in ASTM E57, for a total of 97 3D files, alongside a metadata_index.csv index describing every model in Europeana Data Model terms. All published files are decimated derivatives optimised for web visualisation and reuse: full-resolution master files are not included, as they are preserved in the archives of the Italian Ministry of Culture and available on request. Quality caveats declared by the Ministry's own quality-control process (partial coverage, models not scaled to metric units, source data below the delivery specification) are stated per model in the index. The dataset supports the project objective of enriching the European data space for cultural heritage with reusable, high-quality 3D content, and is published with versioning to allow progressive updates over time. This record is part 2 of 2 dedicated to this collection, split across multiple Zenodo records due to the 100-file limit per record.
