Innovative management tools of quality performance over time for historical and monumental buildings

Abstract

The success of the strategies for safeguarding, preserving and maintaining the precious assets of the huge European Cultural Heritage still represents a challenge that many countries tackle with limited or inadequate actions or systems, despite the fact that the international community is now aware of the serious risks endangering its heritage. The nature of this fragile context requires the knowledge of data and information other than the technical and construction characteristics of buildings. The paper describes an innovative management tool for inspection and maintenance of historical and monumental buildings, developed within the Horizon 2020 European research project INCEPTION (Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling).
