Welcome to the Heriverse Documentation
=======================================

**Heriverse** -- Heritage Science Metaverse -- is a 3D online platform for the collection, management, and exploration of multimedial content for Heritage Science. Born as a "vertical pilot" within the Italian H2IOSC project, Heriverse combines three-dimensional exploration of objects and sites with a robust knowledge graph based on CIDOC-CRM.

.. note::
   This platform has been developed as part of the PNRR Mission 4, Component 2, Investment line 3.1, project "Humanities and Cultural Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud -- H2IOSC".

.. admonition:: Heriverse and the StratiVerse model
   :class: note

   *Heriverse* is the public name of the platform — what users open in the browser, what is cited in non-technical contexts, what release notes refer to. *StratiVerse* is the underlying conceptual model: the position that **every entity in a heritage scene is a spatio-temporal stratigraphic unit**. The two names operate at different levels — like *Google Search* vs. *PageRank*. If you are reading this manual, you are using Heriverse; if you are writing a paper about the epistemology of the platform, the citation is to the StratiVerse model.

Quick Start
-----------

- **Explore scenes**: Browse the public scene gallery and open any scene to explore it in 3D
- **Create content**: Authenticate via Digilab and create your own scenes with knowledge graphs
- **Collaborate**: Start collaborative sessions with voice chat and screen sharing
- **VR mode**: Use a VR headset for immersive exploration
