“…Thematic views and analyses are also possible, but for this matter, an ADE (application domain extension) is needed to be developed for CityGML [195]. In [198], an ADE is proposed for CityGML by extending it through XML that is capable of modeling thematic information of parts of architectural heritage buildings in multilevel views from LoD (Level of Detail) 1 to LoD 5 increasing details of parts and related information. In [198], another ADE is developed for CityGML called CHADE (Cultural Heritage Application Domain Extension).…”

In this spatial ontology, some classes are proposed for CityGML and incorporated Getty's AAT (Art and Architecture Thesaurus) vocabulary, so that the model is capable of providing geometric measurements also thematic information representation in different levels of detail.…”

Knowledge organization and development of better information retrieval techniques were of great importance from a very early time period in human history. The need has grown high for such systems with the advent of digitization and the web era. Computer systems and web have offered easier retrieval of information in almost no time. However, as the amount of data increased, these systems were not able to work well in terms of accuracy and precision of retrieval. Semantic Web concept was introduced to overcome the issue by converting the web of documents to a web of data. Semantic Web technologies makes data machine-understandable so that information retrieval can be more precise and accurate. The Cultural Heritage (CH) community, with the goal of preserving and dissemination of the historical information to people and society, is one of the first domains to adopt Semantic Web recommendations and technologies, which can provide interoperability between various organizations by creating a shared understanding in the community. The data in the CH domain differs widely with types and formats. Also, a lot of organizations and experts from various fields interact through different processes within this community. Due to the mentioned needs, the CH community employed Semantic Web technologies step by step along its evolution process for better knowledge management and a uniform understanding among the community. In this study, we present a comprehensive conceptual framework that spans cultural heritage, information modeling, and information retrieval. Our model addresses early solutions in knowledge organization systems, highlighting the evolution from classification systems and controlled vocabularies to the significance of metadata schemas. We delve into the limitations of traditional knowledge organization systems and the necessity of formal ontologies, particularly in the cultural heritage domain. The comparative analysis of CRM vs. EDM, ontology-based metadata interoperability, and ontology technologies elucidate our contributions to the field. This paper outlines the process from the initial steps of adopting Semantic Web technologies in the CH domain to the latest developments in CH information retrieval. In this paper, we also reviewed intelligent applications and services developed in the CH domain after establishing semantic data models and Knowledge Organization Systems. Finally, challenges and possible future research directions are discussed. The findings revealed that GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) are excellent and comprehensive sources of CH information. The CH community has put in a lot of time and effort to develop data models and knowledge organization tools; now it's time to use this valuable resource to construct smart applications that are still in their early phases. This could benefit the CH industry even more.

“…The formalization of knowledge in this information structure (within those domains and their sub-domains) allows an effective representation, making it accessible, editable and manageable by all the different actors involved in the conservation process. Moreover, it makes historical contents and critical interpretations computable, which have rarely been managed before through computation [17][18][19]. To achieve an exhaustive description of architectural heritage, the representation has to be articulated within the four domains.…”

phase is to define a representation of knowledge that suits the richness and specificity of information relating to historical architecture. The design phase has the goal of creating a model that is able to provide and manage investigation results that can be used for conservation planning, and to act as a support for design decision-making. The proposed model has at its core a knowledge base developed through information ontologies and oriented around the formalization and computability of all knowledge necessary for the full comprehension of the object of architectural heritage.Rather than forcing modelling approaches from other fields into built heritage practice, the research presented in this paper focuses on the development of an approach towards the representation of ad-hoc knowledge, methodology, and tools, in order to fit the

“…Actually, there have already been some previous researches which have proposed extensions to the cartographic standards here considered. In particular, two studies for extending CityGML (Costamagna, Spanò 2012, Noardo 2017 and another one extending the INSPIRE data model (Fernàndez-Freire et al, 2013); when possible they have been taken into account for the development of the EID. The ResCult data model, as INSPIRE extension, in a nutshell consists of mutual connections among the three topic themes ("Buildings" as INSPIRE Object, "Protected Site" and "Natural Risk Zone") each of them conveyor of semantic and geometric contents compliant to the several existing standards ( Figure 10).…”

Abstract. The set of laws, actions and organizations for Cultural Heritage (CH) protection is born in the different countries of the European Union from local cultural situations, so the ability to cope with the emergency is certainly different. In addition to the damages that can occur to cultural assets after a disaster, an inadequate emergency intervention can sometimes cause further losses to the CH. The effectiveness of response depends on the adequacy of advanced planning. Some countries have designed emergency plans but their databases (DBs) are fragmented, incomplete and not standardized. It is thus necessary to establish a DB for emergency assistance and maps of CH at risk to be compared with maps of natural hazards and risks, in order to take preventive and operational measures, as well as agree on a common terminology and international standards. The project aims to enhance the capability of Civil Protection to prevent disasters impacts on CH by implementing a European Interoperable Database (EID) as supporting decision tool to understand the risk of damage to cultural assets. The EID, starting from the international standards to represent the map objects (CityGML, INSPIRE), the classification of CH in Europe (UNESCO), in Italy (MiBACT), in Germany and in France and from risks and disasters analysis, will design, with its Conceptual Data Model, an extension of the INSPIRE UML model. This DB will also support 3D models to help finding and recognizing dispersed artworks and facilitate a post-emergency restoration, preserving thus a digital memory in case of destruction.
