The Daguerreobase project has succeeded in developing a proposal for standards and a set of multilingual thesauri to describe the daguerreotype objects and their image content. The Daguerreobase consortium developed an entity and metadata model which is compatible with international standards. From the model, standards for the description of daguerreotype objects and content have been derived. The entity model and the standards are implemented in the new Daguerreobase portal which will be available online from November 2013. The consortium believes that the establishment, adoption and dissemination of these standards through the renewed Daguerreobase portal will increase the level of description of daguerreotypes and enhance access to a little known photographic medium.

The representation area is nowaday called upon to face new challenges for new computer technologies that have developed over the last few years. Visual communication and multimedia language experienced a radical change: representation and visualization, thought and image are based on the branch of communication and therefore on the trasmission of knowledge that cannot be separated from the interdisciplinarity. Digital imagery challenges more and more analog imagery, creating a scene that is independent from the constructed reality and sometimes reaching to overlap and merge with it: therefore the representation is no longer just a repetition of the real, but becomes itself an autonomous reality, reiterating its heuristic power and causing the crisis of that truthful, although subordinate character that was attributed in the past. In this study we are interested in urban representations, and we ask the question of mending between past and present.

Summary form only given. The family pictures and films constitute the very first audiovisual global fund. This heritage presents as many individual life traces as the essential component of a collective history. Digitization is widely used today by institutions, but also by private individuals. Together, it is possible to highlight these documents on the Internet and build the social and cultural history of a country, a region, a city, a community... That is the editorial project carried out by www.notrehistoire.ch, dedicated to the French-speaking Swiss audiovisual archives. The platform gathers and combines documents (pictures, films, sound recordings, stories) from family archives and institutional funds in a refined editing environment, supervised by a moderator. As a “work in progress”, these archives enrich interest groups related to personalities, places, events and daily life facts to create the French-speaking Swiss collective memory. The platform favors the sharing of knowledge, helps connecting generations, social categories, private individuals and institutions (libraries, museum, radio, television, etc.). www.notrehistoire.ch is also a social network that gives its members the opportunity to take part in a project of public interest. It is a unique platform in Switzerland. Free of charge, in the service of the community, it is edited by the Foundation for the Safeguarding of the Audiovisual Heritage of the Swiss Radio Television (Fondation pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine audiovisuel de la Radio Television Suisse, FONSART). In terms of statistics, since its creation on October 29, 2009 in French-speaking Switzerland (1.2 million inhabitants): 41'300 archived documents (39'000 pictures, 1'200 videos, 1'100 audios); 2'350 members, 17 institutions (Swiss Radio Television, RTS, ICRC archives, League of Nations archives, International Labor Office archives, etc.), 728 interest groups, 850'000 visitors from 160 countries (Switzerland, France, Belgium, Canada, United States...), 8'100'000 views. www.notrehistoire.ch offers a smartphone app (Iphone, Android) which uses geolocation to discover pictures and films from the place where they were made at the time. An Ipad app is currently being developed. By using web technologies and the main social networks, www.notrehistoire.ch shows that a simple tool and a coherent editorial project favors the conservation and use of audiovisual archives. The platform allows the public to become actors in the construction process of a collective memory, it supports the sense of belonging to a community and the sharing of knowledge. Moreover, this project documents the present and reflects on the evolution of our society through the valorization of singular histories. The project and activity of www.notrehistoire.ch face the challenges related to the Universal Declaration on Archives.

Data of cultural heritage in Indonesia is managed by different levels of bureaucracy. The world and national heritage levels are managed by central government agencies; directly responsible to the Ministry of Education and Culture. The agencies of cultural sector in the province and district/city manage the cultural heritage data in the area of province and district/city. The government is still looking for a model of data management for heritage. Format and management of data between agencies are not same. They have responsibility to manage it, but they have not been able to make it as public information. In the other hand, the rapid grow of development require referral data about regulations related to heritage preservation. Regulation of heritage buildings or zones are the most important, to make sure that the development do not violate the conservation. Since the government does not provide online information, it is not easy for public to access the data about heritage, even in their own surrounding. Furthermore, the process of data updating in government level is always very slow, moreover in endangered situation. Need long time to wait for a good data management from the government. In 2012, Indonesian Heritage Inventory/IHI (http://heritageinventory.web.id) builds by public initiative. Using online platform, IHI can be updated whenever, wherever, by public with various types of media. This system is able to inform the current situation of the heritages that have been listed by government and those which have not been registered. IHI enable to reports and maps the current situation of every single threat happens to heritage sites. This report can be used to support the decision-making. This kind of initiative is expected to increase public participation in heritage conservation.

Tecturae srl, in cooperation with the Municipal Administration of Al Balad in Jeddah and the Department of Architecture of the Universita degli Studi "G. d'Annunzio" of Chieti-Pescara, Italy, has made possible the survey and a design proposal for a significant part of the historic district of Jeddah and for some outstanding buildings that will deserve a special attention. Though spoiled by recent constructions of debatable quality, this area — still nowadays — is an extremely interesting mix of different building types, illustrating a very significant stage in the city's history, when its merchants successfully conquered local and foreign markets and when Jeddah started to act as the main gateway from the Red Sea to the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina. Our project aims at the preservation of its rich and fascinating built heritage and at the rediscovery of its lost relationship with the once nearby harbor on its west side and with the modern city all around; in addition to this, we also wish that the renovation of Al Balad may constitute a significant step toward KSA's green leap forward, demonstrating that properly retrofitted and upgraded historic districts can be not only more pleasant and appealing to visitors and pilgrims, but also smarter than recently built suburbs.

Jinnamgwan is a National Treasure of Korea and a symbol of Yeosu city. It's a single-story wooden building which was built in 1599 after the Imjin War. Jinnamgwan has 68 high columns which is supporting the collar beams. The side blocks of the building have two side beams whose heads are stretching above the girders. Those many columns make it more difficult to perform image-based modeling using unstructured image set. Many researchers have combined both photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning in different ways. In our paper, we used only images which can be acquired from some internet sites. Structure from motion refers to the process of estimating three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional image sequences. It has been studied in the fields of computer vision and visual perception. We applied a modified structure from motion algorithm for its 3D modeling using the Photoscan software. Close range images were used for column modeling and aerial images were used for roof modeling. A tens of multi-temporal close range images were acquired from web sites such as google, some Korea portals etc.. Because we could not construct a roof model from a few close range images of roofs, three digital aerial images were processed. In our experiment a building model of Jinnamgwan could not be made using all images at the same time. So all close-range images were divided into sub-class groups representing front and side facades. The model from each group's images constitutes a part of Jinnamgwan. In the future, to integrate sub-models into a whole wall model accurately, we will do a simultaneous adjustment to compensate for a systematic errors applying a 3 dimensional conformal transformation to point clouds of sub-models.

Summary form only given. Not far from Massa-Marittima (Tuscany, Italy), stands the medieval castle of Montieri, built in 1133 by the Bishop of Volterra. In the Middle Ages, thanks to its metalbearing ores, the castle was the focus for a complex history. During the last few years, the University of Siena was involved in studying in the archaeology and architecture of the castle and the surrounding old silver mines. The last survey campaign was focused on the area so-called "La Canonica", San Niccolo ecclesiastical complex. The excavation came u p to light the existence of a church characterized by an unusual plan with six apses (the only example of its kind in Italy) [1]. During the survey an innovative image-based modelling (IBM) workflow for quick 3D acquisition in archaeology was tested. Building archaeology aims at reconstructing the history of existing building and analyzing materials, building techniques and, above all, the "vertical" stratigraphy. Therefore, during the survey of the Church, in order to get a data-set suitable for this kind of analysis, we had to provide a thorough metric analysis, for precise archaeological documentation and to better understand the development of the building. For this purpose, IBM as acquisition method was chosen. This recent technology allows a complete and detailed 3D to be obtained, in very short time and with very low budget, from a set of un-calibrated photos. The modeling process is carried out automatically by software that combines algorithms of computer vision. The automatic approach implies a lower precision in comparison with conventional scanning techniques, nevertheless, recent tests have demonstrated that it can be sufficient reliable and have already being used with success in archaeology [2].

Summary form only given. The The rupestrian settlements in Cappadocia are well known for their richness and very articulated shapes, but, at the same time, they are a clear sample of Patrimony at risk, the assets of Cappadocia today appears intended for a broad loss, in certain parts the rupestrian monuments are well preserved, in other parts they are abandoned or overloaded by admiring tourists, this whole patrimony appears only partially preservable, and therefore it is even more exceptional in its very late phase. Most of the rupestrian churches in Cappadocia has mural paintings which survived to centuries of improper usages and abandon, environmental menaces, vandals, some of these churches are quite simple but others are connected to very complex architectural systems and they still represent the meaning of that places at the time of their construction.
