Summary

Conceptualization of information allows improved visualization and manipulation of large amountsof data. Especially in digitization of cultural heritage, and when aiming at presenting more than onemonument, abstraction of information becomes the key solution. Our proposed application aims topresent the main archaeological monuments of Crete through a conceptual 3D model. It allows theuser to navigate among all the main monuments and approach them gradually in different levels ofdetail. Furthermore, the ability to switch between the seven historical periods offers a comparativestudy of their evolution in time. By providing the minimum needed information at each level ofabstraction, “levels of detail”, we can create an online platform, light and easy to use.
