dc.description.abstractThe digitization of cultural heritage offers significant opportunities for preservation, maintenance, and promotion. However, it also presents challenges in terms of representation and the exhibition of content, particularly for the cultural heritage of minorities. Recent discourse has brought co-creation methodologies to the forefront as a transformative strategy, leveraging the collective expertise of communities, governments, and institutions to surmount the limitations of traditional, hierarchical models. These methodologies, which emphasize cultural democracy and equity, seek to involve a diverse array of stakeholders in the preservation and decision-making processes surrounding heritage. Despite these advances, there remains a lack of a unified model capable of fully elucidating the diverse roles of stakeholders in cultural heritage digitization. This gap underlines the need for a framework that not only democratizes access to cultural heritage but also reshapes stakeholder roles by integrating digital audiences and communities into the ecosystem, thereby redefining cultural heritage as a dynamic, living process that spans social, economic, and technological dimensions. The primary objective of this paper is to foster a deep understanding of the roles, motivations, and prerequisites of stakeholders involved in the digitization process, with a special focus on minority communities. This involves mapping the current digitization policies, academic narratives, and practices in cultural heritage across Europe, exploring the limitations of existing participatory models, examining the roles of diverse stakeholders in heritage digitization, and proposing a more integrated Quadruple Helix Ecosystem Framework that accounts for technological, social, and policy-driven dynamics. The focus on minority communities serves as a key case study, demonstrating how co-creation methodologies reshape cultural heritage as a living, evolving process.en_US
