161 ISPRS joint Meeting of WG VI/3 and WG IV/3 Bridging the Gap“, Ljubljana 2-5 February 2000 INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION FOR DOCUMENTATION AND MONITORING OF THE CULTURAL HERITAGE Peter Waldhäusl, Vienna, Austria President of CIPA pw@ ¡pf.tuwien.ac.at KEY WORDS: Cultural Heritage, Documentation, Monitoring, Heritage Information Systems, Photography, Photogrammetry, Archaeology, Cultural Landscapes. ABSTRACT CIPA's mission is documentation of the Cultural Heritage, the necessary technology for data collection and monitoring, data control and quality management, data administration, data archiving, data maintenance; data retrieval, data use, data comparison and analysis of data changes. In this area a great number of gaps are located which have to be bridged. The method of bridging is international and inter-professional co-operation. CIPA, the ICOMOS & ISPRS Committee on the Documentation of the Cultural Heritage, is presented with its 10 Working Groups. The international activities of ISPRS and ICOMOS are well received and bridge gaps for a better future of the coming generations. KURZFASSUNG CIPA's Aufgabe ist die Dokumentation des Kulturellen Erbes, die notwendige Technologie für die Datenerfassung und für deren regelmäßige Wiederholung, Datenkontrolle und Qualitätsmanagement, Datenverwaltung, Archivierung, für die Daten-nachführung, Datenbereitstellung, Datenverwendung, Datenvergleich und Analyse von Veränderungen. Im Bereich dieser Arbeitsaufgaben werden eine Anzahl von Lücken geortet, die überbrückt werden sollten. Die Methode dafür ist internationale und interprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit. CIPA, das ICOMOS-ISPRS Komitee für die Dokumentation des kulturellen Erbes, wird mit seinen zehn Arbeitsgruppen vorgestellt. Die internationalen Aktivitäten von ICOMOS und ISPRS werden gut an-genommen. Sie helfen, die Lücken zu überbrücken. Es sind Aktivitäten für eine bessere Zukunft kommender Generationen. 1. CULTURAL HERITAGE reconstruction: Documentation as a part of cultural (and Cultural Heritage is considered everything worth to be handed over from generation to generation, worth to be mentioned in a testament. Cultural Heritage can be immobile or mobile. Cultural Heritage can be of importance for some subjective or objective reason, can be of value for just one family, for a group of people, for a nation or for mankind as a whole. The importance can be based on the fact, that it is somehow unique, special, interesting, beautiful, or just valuable. For many practical reasons it is advisable to register and document every thing: in order to manage systematically its maintenance and development, or just to prove ownership or the state in case of loss, crime, accident or catastrophe, for the insurance company or for the subdivision among heirs, etc. If we need documents for some reason and do not have them, we consider it a gap. 2. DOCUMENTATION Documentation of an object means a collection of descriptions, drawings, and images in such a form that the purpose of documentation is fulfilled: At any time now or later we can retrieve the most important information about the object from text-, drawing- or image- or also sound documents. The object itself is therefore not any more necessary. In case of loss, damage or destruction the documentation could serve as a basis for repair or financial) civil protection. Documents are expected to be true. Photographic images are such documents. But the image alone is not enough. Photographic documentation should be accompanied by some written information, e.g. date of photography, the inner orientation parameters, some pass-information etc. Completeness is the next requirement. For 3D we need stereo-partners. For block- adjustment and restitution of a complete and complex object we need overlapping images. For colour documentation we need a colour proof and proper illumination. As an intermediate summary we find that proper documentation photography, whether analogue or digital, whether static or film or video, needs some more know how, which must be available for conservationists. Otherwise we have a gap. 3. MONITORING Monitoring means regularly repeated documentation. The reason for monitoring is status-control, change detection and change analysis in time, before it is too late or too expensive. Any documentation has to be up to date so that it can be used for proper decisions. The memory of man is very poor as much as details are concerned, specially when we see the object very often. Slow decay we recognise too late, slow or piecewise changes we cannot remember properly. We need the assistance of image documents which we can compare. Easily
