Sciences of Cultural Heritage and Digital Heritage

Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and preserved for the benefit of future generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art, and artifacts), intangible culture (such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge), and natural heritage (including culturally significant landscapes, and biodiversity).

Digital usually refers to something using digits, particularly binary digits.

Digital heritage is the use of digital media in the service of preserving cultural or natural heritage.
