conservation of the European Cultural Heritage, HPRI-CT-2000-40018
EU-ARTECH, Access, Research and Technology for the Conservation of
the European Cultural Heritage, FP6-506171.
Thirteen European Infrastructures, working in the field of scientific
and technological applications to the study and conservation of
cultural heritage, are cooperating in an Integrated Infrastructure
Initiative with the objective to enhance the access to the most
advanced resources, to promote the highest level of research and to
diffuse good practices in conservation.
III operational modes
Networking activities on the rational use of analytical resources and
on materials and methods in conservation
Transnational accesses to advanced facilities and know-how
Joint research activities to improve the infrastructure performances.
The final goal is the structuring of a European research area in science
for conservation, with common advanced resources, agreed highquality practices and homogeneous objectives.

JA3: Archiving and dissemination
JA3 - Task 1 ( ICR ): “Inventory of databases on analysis and
conservation of cultural heritage materials”
Outcome
A database on existing databases and conventional archives of scientific
and technical data accessible at the web site.
http://www.icr.arti.beniculturali.it/labstech3/.
Metadata on the content and the logical structure of existing archives
with the aim to report their availability or limits in their accessibility.

JA3: Archiving and dissemination
JA3 - Task 3 (“Ormylia”): “ Elaboration of optimal forms for archiving
analysis data”
Outcome
Necessity for the integration of all the existing separate -conventional
and digital- archives of scientific and technical data into a united
system, which should manage and correlate any information,
knowledge and expertise in the field, provided by all relevant
disciplines (by conservators, museum curators, researchers).
Prospects of potential availability of all the information stored to be
accessible by any number and category of users, independently of
discipline.
JA3 - Task 4 ( “Ormylia” ): “Towards uniformity of Data archiving”
Expected Outcome
Results of the discussion on the feasible convergence in technical
approaches, on the promotion of agreements on standards, protocols,
guidelines and methods of good practice critical to develop common
frameworks, which make possible interoperability among the
different approaches for managing, preserving and making accessible
digital cultural content.

JA3: Archiving and dissemination
JA3- Task 3: “ Elaboration of optimal forms for archiving data”
JA3 - Task 4: “Towards uniformity of Data archiving”
The objective of these tasks is to take advantage of lately existing
advanced technologies, in order to propose novel approaches for
archiving, preservation and dissemination of cultural digital
content.
The point is to foresee the development of DL infrastructures for
the management of data (scientific and technical, but also historical
and related to the collections’ management) not starting from the
beginning, but, by integrating the important, already existing,
individual - conventional and digital – multidisciplinary archives
into a generic system.
Such an integrated system should enable users of any profile
(independently of discipline or expertise) to access the information
stored in a friendly and effective way.
The discussion is on how to proceed (existing technologies /
available tools) for the development of infrastructures (open and
expandable), embodying the different approaches, supporting
various applications or services and covering progressively
expanding needs.

Outline of the progressive subtasks approached for
Task JA3 - 3 (“Ormylia”): “ Elaboration of optimal forms for
archiving data”
In
order to elaborate possible schemes and propose
“optimal” forms for the development of an integrated
system including any data related to the collection,
preservation, visualisation and dissemination of art
objects or monuments, we propose:
1.
Organisation of the general informational content for
artworks documentation
2.
Optimization of the logical structure describing the
relation among the different entities according to the
domain knowledge
3.
Outline of users’ needs in order to define requirements of
such a database system
4.
Evaluation of existing technologies and expertise as well
as established standards, protocols, and methods of good
practice.
5.
Outline of possible architectures

Outline of users’ needs in order to define system requirements
Generic
A system must incorporate multilevel information and multimedia data
provided by different disciplines and from different procedures.
Semantically rich - high quality
The information stored in such a database should interest both nonspecialists and scientists coming from several scientific areas,
searching multilevel information.
Effective access to a comprehensible information
This information should be accurate and complete from the scientific
point of view, but, on the same time comprehensible and simple to the
visitors of museums / exhibitions and to the non-specialists, in general.
User friendly Interface - Visualization - Access over web
Security
Access after authorization, assuring the protection of Intellectual
Property Rights of the owner of digital material.
Open / expandable
A database system must be dynamic, continually expandable to cover
future needs and adaptable to new software environments, allowing
interaction with other systems.

DL research directions
Generic – Open and expandable
Possible architectures of DL infrastructures supporting the integration
of the multimodal-multilevel content. Adaptable to new technologies
and future needs.

Metadata of software interfaces allowing interoperability.
Semantically rich - High quality
Effective accessibility of comprehensible information
Existing meta-data standards and Semantic technologies for Data
archiving and management, indexing and retrieval, enabling access by
non-experts (or experts of a different discipline) to information,
retaining the quality (terminological richness as well as knowledgedepth and structure per discipline).
User friendly interface – dynamic access (over www)
Customization of the form and extent of accessible information
relevant to specific interests and needs. Visualisation of data.
Personalization of the access respecting user profile.
Web technologies.

Common objectives of Cultural content and DL Technology Experts
Development of infrastructures
Enabling accessibility to CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES of
multilevel, multimodal information, in a user-friendly way, overcoming
technical and physical limits, respecting multilingual terminology
richness or multidisciplinary knowledge depth and protecting
Intellectual Property Rights.
Different approaches
- Parallel efforts
• Integration of the already existing, individual conventional and digital – multidisciplinary archives of
textual, visual and multimedia data to a united system
• Development of a generic system, adaptable, after
