• The majority of Symposium participants are ‘Information Providers 'from ISPRS. 
• CIPA Symposia are too technical oriented. 
• Only a minority of participants are ‘Information Users ’ from ICOMOS, ICCROM, UNESCO and other Conservation 
Organizations. 
• The activities of Heritage Recording, Documentation and Information Management are not well integrated to the ‘Con 
servation Process ' of cultural resources. 
• There are significant "GAPs” that need to be addressed with regards to the availability of / access to heritage Recording, 
Documentation and Information Management guidelines, technical manuals, training and information dissemination. 
These workshops brought CIPA to reflect on its activities, to question its operations and to work towards re-structuring itself with a 
new Framework of activities. Reports on each of these outreach workshops can be obtained from WG1.

As a result of the above mentioned Outreach Workshops, a new CIPA “Framework of Activities” was proposed (Diagram B). This 
Framework was initially presented in the form of a Matrix where expert fields / application areas from ICOMOS were identified on 
one side of the matrix (http://cipa.uibk.ac.at/expgroups.htmB, and expert fields / technical areas from ISPRS were identified on the 
other side of the matrix.
