Digital Dunhuang

Since the late 1980s, the Dunhuang Academy has championed the concept of "Digital Dunhuang" by collaborating with domestic and international universities and research institutions to explore the digitization and preservation of immovable cultural heritage. The aim is to utilize computer and digital imaging technologies to achieve the permanent preservation and sustainable use of Dunhuang cave relics.

The "Digital Dunhuang" project can be divided into four main realms: digitization of the Dunhuang caves, the "Digital Dunhuang" digital asset management system, a permanent storage system, and a resource repository. This project employs advanced technology and concepts of relic protection to comprehensively digitize, process, and store materials related to the Dunhuang Caves, establishing a diversified, intelligent digital resource repository for cave relics, which is shared globally through the internet and mobile internet.

The year 2016 witnessed the launch of Digital Dunhuang- Resource Library (https://e-dunhuang.com/), featuring high- definition panoramic virtual tours of 30 classic caves. In 2017, the English version of the Resource Library was launched, drawing users from 18 countries worldwide. In 2022, the world's first blockchain-based open-access platform for digital cultural heritage, the "Digital Dunhuang Resource Library," was launched. By 2024, the Dunhuang Research Archive—a comprehensive collection of global Dunhuang studies research and primary source materials— went live. This has greatly facilitated the scientific protection of the Dunhuang Caves and the rational, orderly use of data resources, providing researchers with convenient access to information while breaking the constraints of time and space, thus meeting public demand for exploration and appreciation.

數(shù)字敦煌

敦煌研究院自20世紀(jì)80年代末開始提出“數(shù)字敦煌”的構(gòu)想，并與海內(nèi)外高等院校及科研機(jī)構(gòu)密切合作，探索研究不可移動文物數(shù)字化保護(hù)，旨在利用計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)和數(shù)字圖像技術(shù)，實(shí)現(xiàn)敦煌石窟文物的永久保存、永續(xù)利用。

“數(shù)字敦煌”項(xiàng)目主要包括敦煌石窟數(shù)字化、“數(shù)字敦煌”數(shù)字資產(chǎn)管理系統(tǒng)、永久存儲體系和資源庫四個方面。該項(xiàng)目利用先進(jìn)的科學(xué)技術(shù)與文物保護(hù)理念，對敦煌石窟和相關(guān)文物進(jìn)行全面的數(shù)字化采集、加工和存儲，構(gòu)建出一個多元化與智能化相結(jié)合的石窟文物數(shù)字化資源庫，并通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和移動互聯(lián)網(wǎng)面向全球共享。

2016 年，“數(shù)字敦煌資源庫”（https://e-dunhuang.com/）上線，推出30個經(jīng)典洞窟高清全景虛擬漫游；2017年，“數(shù)字敦煌資源庫”英文版上線，訪問用戶來自全球約18個國家。2022年全球首個基于區(qū)塊鏈的數(shù)字文化遺產(chǎn)開放共享平臺“數(shù)字敦煌素材庫”上線，2024年匯集全球范圍內(nèi)敦煌學(xué)研究成果與相關(guān)一手資料的“敦煌學(xué)研究文獻(xiàn)庫”上線。“數(shù)字敦煌”平臺極大地促進(jìn)了敦煌石窟、敦煌資料的科學(xué)保護(hù)和數(shù)據(jù)資源合理有序的利用，為科研人員提供了便捷的信息獲取渠道，同時打破時間和空間的限制，滿足了公眾游覽欣賞需求。
