  1. Inauguration of the UNESCO Chair on Preventive Conservation, Maintenance and Monitoring of Monuments and Sites, Leuven (Belgium) 24-25 March 2009 Heritage recording, documentation and information systems in preventive maintenance Thematic seminar A: recording, documentation and information system for monitoring for preventive maintenance Mario SANTANA (mario.santana@asro.kuleuven.be) Overview

  2. HERITAGE INFORMATION: ASSESSMENT CONCEPTS HERITAGE: general to immovable cultural heritage, such as archaeological sites, single monuments, groups of buildings, historic towns, or cultural landscapes.

  16. HERITAGE • INFORMATION: Selecting tools Classification of digital sensors Visual Locational (Still and video cameras)* (GPS, compass, …)* (surveying, 3D scanning, photogrammetry, metrology, GPR)* (thermal, acoustic, C14, …)* Dimensional Environmental A. Addison’s classification Digital sensors to register, document and record cultural heritage

  17. HERITAGE INFORMATION: SENSORS Technqiues Based on research by A. Addison - M. Santana Sahara, Soedan

  18. HERITAGE INFORMATION Selecting a tool VARIABLES Before applying techniques understand their benefits and constraints Petra, Jordan

  19. HERITAGE INFORMATION RECORDING CHALLENGES GAPS • Largely disjointed - no sharing possible; • Lack of standards; • Increase of information resources with lack of quality • Data without provenance; • Long-standing problems.
