The evidence-based publication outlines the types of data needed to develop inclusive cultural technologies, ranging from 2D/3D models and physiological or gesture data to socio-cultural information. It also identifies key data sources, including Europeana, sensor-based technologies, participatory research, and digital repositories.
The brief highlights the crucial role of metadata in enhancing discoverability, adaptability, and interoperability. It also addresses major challenges in data collection, enrichment, and standardisation, and identifies policy gaps at EU level - particularly in areas of cultural rights, data governance, and long-term preservation.
The document concludes with practical recommendations to improve data governance, promote inclusive design, and embed accessibility from the earliest stages of technological development.
