Innovative Tools for Managing Historical Building. The Use of Geographic Information System and Ontologies for Historical Centers
Studies on historical urban centres have highlighted a complex cultural context necessarily referred to various disciplines and currently managed by multiple, different and highly specialized ICT instruments. Doubtless, to cope with urban heritage, either for scientific research or preservation policies, controlling and merging complicated systems of heterogeneous information is required. These compound activities are widely addressed from many different directions, through digital means, though developed often disregarding interoperability which should be, instead, highly pursued to properly represent the scope. As a matter of fact, the issue has proved to be well governed through formal conceptual representation, namely computer science ontologies, that define a set of primitives with which to model a domain of knowledge or discourse. Due to their formal structure, ontologies are used for integrating heterogeneous databases, enabling interoperability among disparate systems, and specifying interfaces to independent, knowledge-based services. They are therefore able to communicate with many of the ITC instrument commonly used in the midst of urban and architectural conservation and planning, as GIS (one of the most widespread technology used within territorial informative systems) or BIM environment (widely used in Architecture Engineering and Construction contexts). Taking advantage from this peculiarity and intending to enhance interoperability between existing systems, avoiding to introduce new models, the research proposes to use ontologies to represent the existing Risk Map, a Geographic Information System focused on risk assessment, introduced by the Istituto Centrale del Restauro (ICR, now Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro, IsCR) of the Ministero per I Beni e le Attività Culturali (MIBAC; Italian ministry of cultural heritage and activities) and recently developed for urban centers. The aim of this system is to define the state of conservation of the architectural and archeological ...
