Aspects and disciplines concomitant with the preservation and conservation of tangible and intangible culture include archival science, art and architectural conservation, audio recording, digital data collection, storage and management, and architectural, urban and landscape drawing, among others. Physical artifacts and intangible attributes inherited from past generations must be maintained for the future generations, and accordingly, their knowledge must be widely disseminated.ĭue to the different particular types of cultural objects, different approaches, tools and techniques must be developed to get an accurate knowledge of them. Thus, Cultural Heritage consists of more than monuments (architectural works, sculpture and painting elements, archaeological structures, ancient books, manuscripts, maps and charts), but of groups of buildings (historical towns, industrial heritage, historical infrastructures), and sites (cultural landscapes, natural values). This scope includes “the entire corpus of material signs –either artistic or symbolic- handed on by the past to each culture and, therefore, to the whole of humankind”. The main targets of the Task Group are related to the study and dissemination of the Cultural Heritage, considered from a wide perspective according to UNESCO’s definition, and the current EU legal framework. The Task Group 2 “Open Source in use for the cultural heritage communication process" is hosted by CIPA, the International Committee for Architectural Photogrammetry, one of the international committees of ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites).
