title	Sharing Experiences in the Digital Preservation in Schools of Architecture
doi	https://doi.org/10.52842/conf.ecaade.2004.466

summary	The aim of this paper is to open a discussion on sharing knowledge and experience in the field of digital preservation between universities which are members of eCAADe organisation. First, paper identifies the importance of keeping digital information alive. Secondly, the key approaches are described, namely: refreshing, migration, emulation. The role of XML is also pointed out. Additionally preservation metadata formats as well as information management (comprised of a set of four inter-linked stages: creation, storage, dissemination and re-use) are discussed. Then, the above-mentioned issues are confronted with the schools of architecture realm. And finally the general, yet fundamental questions are posed: How do we manage the digital data and keep them alive for a long term? What methods do we apply? Do we implement standards? The paper concludes with a suggestion to undertake a survey (for example in the form of a questionnaire) which would serve the eCAADe members.

title	A model proposal for digitisation and recording data on architectural heritage in Poland based on European guidelines and best practices.
source	University of Strathclyde, Dept. of Architecture and Building Science, Glasgow UK
summary	The aim of the research is an adoption of digital technology in the recording and management of architectural heritage of Poland. The current documentation practice does not fit to the present needs. The existing system of built heritage recording and protection in Poland was developed during the 1960s and the 1970s. It is based on a database of paper fiches. Although the documenting template allows the collection of comprehensive information on historic buildings, the whole system of heritage protection remains petrified. The database verification and upgrade is usually delayed, and moreover, the records do not include some information crucial for successful protection and regeneration of historical buildings. The lack of computer aided documentation system causes, furthermore, inadequate management of the heritage. Central to the research methodology is the belief that a computer aided documentation system for built heritage in Poland should be compatible and harmonised with similar European projects as a response to the needs of the emerging Information Society. To achieve that standards and best practices in Europe were identified, analysed and compared with the current Polish system of heritage protection and management. Activities of Scottish organisations from the cultural heritage sector, being in the forefront of European achievements, were studied in detail. It was observed that Scottish advancements might be a source of valuable lessons and guidelines for similar activities in Poland. The issues crucial to designing a framework model for digitisation and recording data on architectural heritage in Poland were given particular attention. These included aspects related to content, technology, legislation, and project organisation. As a result a number of recommendations were formulated and supported with necessary tables and diagrams. This specification is intended as a starting point for implementation of digital technology in recording and management of architectural heritage of Poland. It is believed that the research outcomes may become useful not only for the architectural heritage documentation and management, but also in the wider cultural heritage sector in Poland. The thesis concludes with a statement that the validity of any guidelines related to the digital technology has a limited lifespan, and therefore the proposed model for digitisation and recording data on architectural heritage in Poland, to be successful, requires constant, diligent review of the technology development.
