CARARE is a best practice network funded by the EU ICT Policy Support Programme. It is aimed at establishing a best practice network of heritage agencies, archaeological organisations and research institutions to establish an aggregation service for Europeana for archaeological and architectural digital content, including images, texts and 3D objects. CARARE is particularly focused on recommendations for metadata schemas dedicated to archaeological and architectural heritage and on solutions for the publication of 3D and Virtual Reality content. This paper describes the recommendations which have been made by the project for publishing 3D objects online in easily accessible formats such as 3D PDF with the metadata necessary for discovery in Europeana. It is illustrated by the contribution of the Scuola Normale Superiore and its work in preparing 3D representations of Pompeii monuments for publication through Europeana

Abstract
CARARE is a best practice network funded by the EU ICT Policy Support Programme. It is aimed at establishing a best practice network of heritage agencies, archaeological organisations and research institutions to establish an aggregation service for Europeana for archaeological and architectural digital content, including images, texts and 3D objects. CARARE is particularly focused on recommendations for metadata schemas dedicated to archaeological and architectural heritage and on solutions for the publication of 3D and Virtual Reality content. This paper describes the recommendations which have been made by the project for publishing 3D objects online in easily accessible formats such as 3D PDF with the metadata necessary for discovery in Europeana. It is illustrated by the contribution of the Scuola Normale Superiore and its work in preparing 3D representations of Pompeii monuments for publication through EuropeanaI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
