The documentation of the procedures, the applied method as well as the resulting outcomes is one ... more The documentation of the procedures, the applied method as well as the resulting outcomes is one of the cornerstones of scientific practice. Over the centuries, scientific publication established itself with set basic principles, such as verification of methods, objectivity, disclosure of sources, comprehensibility of reasoning, accessibility of results, accuracy and reliability, uniformity (Brink, 2013). In the field of computer-based hypothetical 3D reconstruction, the application of the above basic principles faces a yet unsolved challenge related to the new nature of research data and their derivation. Considering 3D modeling and the 3D model as a scientific interpretation, reasoning and hypothesis, it is found that due to manifold and rapidly developing software applications, modeling methods and types, no application-related documentation and publication of 3D models has been established. In consequence, the results of the work are not traceable, cannot be found, are not accessible and are not sustainable. Three decades after the spread of computer-aided 3D-visualization in the research and dissemination of cultural heritage, we observe an intensified examination of the question of what and how should be documented. Web-based documentation and publication requires technical infrastructures and services as well as the definition of scientific methods in terms of a comprehensible model creation and sustainable accessibility to the research data (re-)presented in form of 3D models. The Scientific Reference Model aims at establishing an academic working method with a low barrier for a broad application in digital hypothetical 3D reconstruction. As a result, it should ensure a comprehensible and accessible (on the web) 3D model which can serve as a source reference for further research and dissemination of knowledge. The method is based on seven work packages developed and tested within research projects (Kuroczyński et al., 2021) and educational courses.
