DESCRIPTION:The project DiGA aims at developing a concept for the digitiza
 tion of a corpus of Buddhist sculptures from Gandhāra (present-day Pakist
 an/Afghanistan) preserved in museums in Pakistan. Situated at the cross-ro
 ads of Art History\, Religious Studies and Digital Humanities\, the projec
 t sets itself two main objectives. Firstly\, it seeks to prepare a reposit
 ory of Gandharan Buddhist artefacts and secondly\, it aims at meeting desi
 derata in the study of both Gandharan art and Gandharan Buddhism. In this 
 respect\, the project will evaluate software and metadata standards in ord
 er to develop a technical platform that will enhance the analysis of Buddh
 ist images\, particularly of their formal and iconographic features\, and 
 facilitate their comparison with corpora of Buddhist texts.\n\nThis kick-o
 ff workshop will provide an opportunity for art historians\, philologists\
 , and specialists in Digital Humanities to discuss issues connected to the
  digitization of cultural heritage.\n
