Abstract
In this paper, we present a short review of the subsequent development along a twenty years path by my research groups, focusing the features related to the knowledge by vision concept. Starting from the consideration that a lack of adequate understanding of the purpose and technical requirements of documentation in general has created a sense of uncertainty amongst conservation professionals, especially with regard to matching the type of documentation and the level of detail to specific project needs, then we present problems emerged after 20 years of experimentation with 3D-based IS. We could briefly summarize main issues observing that in the face of lifecycle process requirements and the growing abilities of Information Technology based systems, the accessibility to the entire corpus of information that should be shared by the specialists remains limited and the process is broken down into discontinuous isolated parts. The main reason of this deficit lies not only in the large amounts of heterogeneous data that the process requires and which prevents both the immediate usability is an easy transfer of information, but also in complexity and narrowness of the systems developed. A new vision potentially able to give more powerful strategies to preserve, manage, and communicate archaeology artefacts and AH is then illustrated. From a theoretical point of view, it is based on a model of global knowledge shared and available at any time, in any place, to any user: researchers, professional operators, students, and city-users. From a technological point of view, it exploits of the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT) with the aim to transform Cultural Items in Smart Cultural Objects (SCO), sources and recipients of advanced information. This is a fundamental revolution in the way we conceive not only the heritage system but also how to generate, acquire and transfer the knowledge related to it, and in the management, conservation and communication process.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
