How Past Researches Can Lead Way To Newer Technologies In India. Call for Short Papers Chairs: Pratik N SAVALE | Manya JAIN (PURATATTVASAMVARDHAN (NGO), Pune, Maharashtra, India) Like most third-world countries, India is also on its way to digital developments. In this new age of tech-savvy millennials, where technology is being constantly applied to newer and newer areas, the past and its remains have constantly been exposed to methods that are as old as them. The round table intends to start from the very start and discuss how the data already present can yield more results or how the knowledge gathered by our predecessors can be harnessed better. We intend on giving a new turn to some prominent studies to increase the data we get from them. This round table seeks the following ideas: • Scientific applications to ongoing or already established studies. • How third-world countries like India can take a step towards sustainable heritage management? • How can technological applications be made more accessible in terms of both usage and costs? • How can already present infrastructure and technological knowledge be used in fulfilling the aim of sustainable heritage development? (Bringing to life the funda of less is more). This is a call for short papers that seek to answer similar issues. In addition to short impulse lectures, a lively discussion will be the true essence of this round table. Send us your submission until September 3,...

Lina KARNER
After graduating from high school in Vienna in 2014, Lina Karner began her studies in spatial planning at the Vienna University of Technology. At that time, she had already gained experience in conference and trade fair management. Following the completion of her bachelor’s degree, she participated in the summer academy “World Heritage Austria” and has focused on cultural heritage ever since. During her studies, she also worked as a student assistant (including in the subjects of architectural documentation of cultural heritage, research and planning design) and coordinated an interdisciplinary project in the course of the “100 Years of Women at TU Vienna” anniversary. Since joining the master’s programme, she has completed various internships at ICOMOS Austria and has provided significant support in the preparation of the monitoring manual. Over the past year and a half she has also participated in numerous conferences and meetings and was responsible for overlooking their virtual procedure. At the moment, she is writing her diploma thesis in which she develops a management plan for historic wine cellars in Burgenland and Lower Austria. From autumn 2021 onwards, she will be involved in a research project funded by the FWF looking at Conflicts and Challenges of World Heritage...
Read MoreWould Digital Technologies allow the Conservation of the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV) of World Heritage Properties in apost-pandemic time
Keynote 1 Mario SANTANA QUINTERO, Canada Abstract: Digital technologies have allowed us to keep the World Heritage Community actors connected and provide some accessibility to historic sites. Heritage organizations have been conveying meetings more often and productive than in the pre-covid times, and technologies have also allowed a gradual reopening of places with limited capacity and monitoring of spaces for a healthily return to full accessibility. Nevertheless, the question remains that adopting new technologies would improve the conservation of the Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). This talk will share some ideas on ongoing discussions about the implementation of remote sensing, information systems and participatory technologies that enhance the monitoring, conservation and presentation of World Heritage Sites. It will also indicate the obstacles of technology inclusion and adoption and the inequality of approaches in the world´s...

The new CIDOC CRM and your old data Advanced Archaeological Training Organizer: Stephen STEAD(Paveprime Ltd, UK) 2021 saw the release of CIDOC CRM version 7.1.1, which is the new candidate release for the revision of ISO21127. This training workshop will introduce the changes in this latest version, including the enhanced handling of relative chronologies and space-time volumes (STVs). The standard is leaner, with the deprecation and replacement of a number of classes and properties. Full details of the migration of existing data encoded in the CRM will be covered in the workshop. The CRM community has also been working on new ways of handling the evidence of absence with the introduction of a new extension covering Type and Negative Type properties. This comes with a comprehensive testing data set. This will also be covered Working on modelling and mapping data with the CRM has often been seen as a difficult task: the workshop will introduce new open-source tools that make the process easier and faster. Who is the workshop for? Anybody that wants to understand and work with the CRM. Prerequisites To get the best out of the workshop you should have watched the online CRM tutorial http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm-tutorial You will also need a laptop on which you can install software and import datasets (NB I work on a PC so if you want to play with Linux or Mac you will need to be confident at troubleshooting on those platforms) What do you get? Four hours of fun with data, using fresh, easy-to-use tools and the latest semantic representation of Cultural Heritage data: plus a bunch of bad puns and cool...
Read MoreDigital Tools for the Emergency Rescue of Cultural Heritage
Call for Short Papers Chairs: Christoph Rogalla von Bieberstein | Tobias Busen | Bernhard Fritsch(German Archaeological Institute (DAI) | Berlin | Germany) Keywords: disaster, cultural heritage rescue, mobile systems, data management During the emergency rescue of built or movable cultural heritage in case of a disaster, a potentially large amount of information is collected. This includes basic information, specific types of documentation – both analogue as well as digital –, such as notes, sketches, photographs, video, audio, plans, geo- and 3D-information, furthermore damage and risk assessments, measures applied, relocation of objects, recommendations, etc. What is more, all this data is likely to be produced in a specific (short) time span by different people and teams, often simultaneously.In order to be able to handle this data, smart infrastructures are needed which not only enable a project team to organize and access the data during the emergency operation – potentially without permanent access to electricity, internet, etc. –, but also to deliver it to stakeholders such as the entity or people responsible for the affected heritage. This round table intends to discuss on how emergency rescue operations of cultural heritage can be supported/enhanced by intelligent data infrastructures and other digital tools in order to obtain data collections serviceable for the sustainable conservation of any type of cultural heritage affected by disaster.
