| Abstract (English): | Access to research infrastructure for heritage science is the best way of narrowing the collections knowledge gap between resource-rich and resource-poor cultural institutions. Here we demonstrate a novel workflow that streamlines the use of a mobile laboratory for data collection (MOLAB) followed by a digital platform for data processing, analysis and interpretation (DIGILAB). The data collection and processing are taken care of by heritage science specialists, while the data analysis and interpretation can be performed collaboratively with conservators and curators. MOLAB with specialist personnel and mobile scientific instruments can sometimes be aided by in-house fixed laboratory (FIXLAB) equipment and personnel from resource-rich institutions to assist the resource-poor institutions if their collection can be hosted by the resource-rich institutions for analysis. The aim is to widen participation in the adoption of heritage science and material analysis in the understanding and conservation of collections, while ensuring high-quality, efficient and reliable data acquisition, processing, analysis and interpretation. The approach taken in this project combines access to various research infrastructure platforms to achieve extra benefit through adding further expert-assisted data analysis and interpretation capabilities, enabled by a new digital platform for data processing and visualisation.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El acceso a la infraestructura de investigación para las ciencias del patrimonio es la mejor manera de reducir la brecha de conocimiento sobre colecciones entre las instituciones culturales con y sin recursos científico-técnicos propios. Aquí demostramos un flujo de trabajo novedoso que agiliza el uso de un laboratorio móvil para la recopilación de datos (MOLAB) seguido de una plataforma digital para el procesamiento, análisis e interpretación de datos (DIGILAB). Generalmente, especialistas en ciencias del patrimonio llevan a cabo la recopilación y el procesamiento de datos, mientras que el análisis y la interpretación de los datos se suele realizar en colaboración con curadores y con conservadores-restauradores. MOLAB, con personal especializado e instrumentos científicos móviles, en ocasiones puede apoyarse en equipos de laboratorio fijo interno (FIXLAB) y personal de instituciones con recursos científico-técnicos para ayudar a las instituciones sin estos recursos, alojando temporalmente objetos de su colección para ser analizados. El objetivo es ampliar la participación en la adopción de la ciencia del patrimonio y el análisis de materiales en la comprensión y conservación-restauración de las colecciones, garantizando al mismo tiempo una adquisición, procesamiento, análisis e interpretación de datos de alta calidad, eficientes y confiables. El enfoque adoptado en este proyecto combina el acceso a varias plataformas de infraestructura de investigación para lograr un mayor beneficio, mediante la inclusión de capacidades adicionales de análisis e interpretación de datos asistidas por expertos, gracias a una nueva plataforma digital para el procesamiento y visualización de datos.
