Sorin Hermon’s Summary
I have gained experience in the field of Digital Cultural Heritage, managing and coordinating large scale EU funded projects, among them Chiron EST Marie Curie project, the Coins project and workpackages of the Epoch project. My other experiences are related to the development of Information Technology installations for Cultural Heritage museums, museology, field archaeology and human evolution. I have been teaching at the University of Ben Gurion for several years, in the department of Bible, Archaeology and Ancient Near East, as well as organized and taught a number of summer schools and formation courses related to the use of New Technologies for Cultural Heritage.
My research goals are related to the fields of knowledge transfer, particularly knowledge about culture and cultural heritage, the concept of culture and how to design cognitive technologies adapted to the education and communication of Cultural Heritage, such as visualization, collaborative and knowledge management tools. Other fields of interest are the definition of semantic structures for Cultural Heritage data representation and the definition of new methodologies for archaeological research.
