Towards an ontology for annotating degradation phenomena

Abstract

is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Abstract-In the field of built heritage, a huge amount of data describes the state of monuments: documentary data (texts, sounds, images) as well as analytic data from sensors, provides historical, archeological and constructive information. These data, produced by experts coming from several fields, are the foundation for the creation of new information through scientific observations. The problem is that these data are not related nor spatialized. Nowadays we are able to generate extreme accurate 3D model with throughout images-based or laser scanner acquisition. However these 3D models do not carry information regarding their morphological complexities. The design of an ontology for the conservation domain seems to be the best solution in order to obtain understandable entities thanks to their own data related between them. This article present the first attempt of a development of a web information system based on spatialized images semantic annotations tool, related to a domain ontology describing knowledge regarding stone degradation phenomena. Our approach is to produce a domain ontology able to document and therefore provide a framework able to help the decisionmaking process of experts in the cultural heritage conservation domain. The information annotated with the use of this ontology can enrich not only the scientific observations, but also to help to create new knowledge. In this way, it is possible to link and gather quantitative and qualitative aspect into only one information system. We will propose several example and queries able to exploit the reasoning power of the above information system.

Semantic models and services for conservation and restoration of cultural heritage: A comprehensive survey

“…In [69] a correlation pipeline is proposed for the integration of the three dimensions of a masonry structure: i) semantic dimension, which refers to concepts used by experts in order to describe conservation state, ii) spatial dimension, which refers to spatialized annotations on 3D representations, iii) morphological dimension, which refers to morphological descriptors (e.g., occlusion, curvature, roughness) of annotated regions of 3D representations.…”

“…The pipeline uses an ontology (ODPA-3DR) for recording and integrating multidisciplinary observations of the conservation state of masonry structures, spatialized into a reality-based 3D representation 37 [69].…”

“…ODPA-3DR is deployed in a system for reality-based 3D semantic annotations of masonry structures' conservation states [69,70]. The basic functionality of the system is as follows: the user inputs a set of digital images of a physical object, and marks 2D regions on these images.…”

Minor Historical Centres Ontology Enrichment and Population: An Hamlet Case Study

“…Some examples are the work of Teller et al (2007) to define ontologies for urban development and the study of Berdier & Roussey (2007) to describe ontologies in urban domain areas. In the framework of architectural built heritage, few attempts have been made to design an ontology (Messaoudi et al, 2015;Kokla et al, 2019;Acierno et al, 2017Acierno et al, , 2019. Despite this already developed knowledge and core or domain ontology, none of these studies focused on an application ontology for hamlets and villages.…”

An ontological model for the reality-based 3D annotation of heritage building conservation state

“…In the masonry building domain "a material is used for a specific building technic and itself is used to shape a relevant architectural component. And then alteration act on material" (figure 2) [17]. This model proposes inverse object properties allowing to ensure a certain flexibility in the information retrieval point of view.…”
