A Contribution to a Unified Approach in Policy Making through Documenting Cultural Heritage

The paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary research project, bridging technical sciences and the humanities, with the purpose of conducting research, exploring arguments and options for the potential of a unified data management system in the European area. Recognizing the ambitiousness of such a project, the primarily intention is to provide well founded arguments to explore the implementation of a unified pan-European approach to cultural heritage data management; including the collection, presentation and storage of tangible and intangible material data on each location under observation.
