He is currently a part of digitalMED at University of Murcia. Vincent received his PhD in Anthropology at the University of California San Diego. However, researchers must consider not only the acquisition and curation, but also the dissemination of these data to their colleagues and the public. Digital technology promises significant changes in how we approach social sciences, cultural heritage, and archaeology. The final section focuses on dissemination as it is what pushes the data beyond the shelves of storage and allows the public to experience the past through these new technologies, but also opens new lines of investigation by giving access to these data to researchers around the globe. Preservation of digital data requires preservation that can guarantee a future for generations to come. Following acquisition, the next section highlights how equally important curation is as the future of digital documentation depends on it. Acquisition is one of the fundamental challenges for practitioners in heritage and archaeology, and the chapters in this section provide a template that highlights the principles for present and future work that will provide sustainable models for digital documentation. The book is divided into three sections covering acquisition, curation, and dissemination (the major life cycles of cultural heritage data).
