Documenting and Digitizing Setif’s Tangible and intangible cultural heritage and Arts in the Digital Age The Center for Digitization and Documentation of Heritage and Arts in Setif (CDDHA) is a project that aims to create a digital platform and a smartphone app that can preserve and promote the cultural heritage and arts of Setif in the metaverse. The project’s objectives are to document the heritage and arts of Setif digitally in the virtual world, to digitize them in two- and three-dimensional formats, and to obtain certificates of ownership in the virtual world with tradable crypto assets (NFT's). The project’s results include a digital platform with a specialized search engine and a digital section to display the documented heritage and arts, a smartphone app with a similar functionality, and a web browser plugin (ai search assistant) that can access the platform and app. The project’s impact is to enhance the protection and conservation of the cultural heritage and arts of Setif, to increase the awareness and education of the users, and to foster the participation and empowerment of the local people and communities.
