Historic Preservation Foundation Classes: Procedures and Ontologies for the interoperability in Historic Preservation

Areas: Cultural & living heritage Urban design

Project code: Prot. 2017P9PTMB

Programme: PRIN: Progetti Di Ricerca di Rilevante Interesse Nazionale

Call: Bando 2017

To answer the demand, put both at theoretical and legislative level, of making the management of built cultural heritage consistent, coordinated and planned, new digital tools are implemented, from 3D survey to BIM. But these tools, as developed for new construction, risk to end into an unthinkingly and reductive digitalization, until the problem will not be solved of exchanging among players the specific information concerning historic buildings. While the industry of the built environment goes towards a general implementation of digital information modelling, this three years proposal aims at producing the first release of an open IFC standard dedicated to built cultural heritage. The already available sets of ontologies and standards will be analyzed developed, and a prototype of exchange platform will be used to test the outputs on real case studies, representing both the scales of monumental buildings and historic settlements. The foreseen impact encompasses a scientific product still missing at international level, as well as a contribution to preservation, enhancing the tools for a critical and responsible digitalisation, such to enable prevention and planning, as well as the capitalisation of the value produced by high quality conservation works.
