A second benefit in the use of web-service is to facilitate 
downstream needs for cultural institutions with 3d models 
produced. Digitizing heritage artefacts for institutions is not 
only a question of method of acquisition but also about storage, 
metadata and dissemination. Therefore the solution provided by 
Culture 3D Clouds will facilitate the storage of 3D models, give 
the possibility to add standardized metadata and offer services 
to consult and to have the possibility of reuse those resources. 
The photogrammetric method appears to be an adapted solution 
for digitize artefacts if it is associated with services not only for 
technical treatment but in relation to other issues about Digital 
Heritage. 
The ambition of the Culture 3D Clouds project is to give a 
global solution for 3D models of artefacts from acquisition, 
based on photogrammetric, to access and reuse. 
5.CONCLUSION 
Taking correctly the photographs to compute relevant 3D results 
is crucial because the artefacts are generally accessible just one 
time. Through the typologies and protocols, the photographer 
can learn how to take it. With a background in cultural heritage 
photography, they can extend their practice to 3D digitization of 
the artefacts. 
This is a good opportunity for institutions that houses and cares 
collections, in which photographers are working. 
The cooperation in the Culture 3D Clouds project already leads 
two photographers from the RMN! to take the photographs for 
well 3D reproduction of artefacts. 
This cooperation in the project may lead to a futur cooperation 
between the different agents working the cultural heritage field. 
A community of photographers using photogrammetric tools 
and exchanging about their technical and cultural matters could 
see the light of day.
