The Government of Aragon has integrated advanced digital tools for managing cultural heritage, thanks to the Knowledge Heritage Network Project. This initiative, funded by European grants, marks a milestone in the preservation and promotion of Aragonese heritage.
Technological Innovation in Heritage Management
The General Directorate of Culture and Cultural Heritage of the Government of Aragon has adopted the digital tools developed by the Knowledge Heritage Network Project in its Retech-Aragón framework. This project, backed by funds from the Next Generation EU program, aims to modernize cultural heritage management through the incorporation of advanced technologies.
The primary objective is to integrate digital technologies to improve efficiency in heritage management. The digitization of assets and the use of real-time sensors allow for precise data collection on the conditions of cultural assets, thereby facilitating informed decision-making for their preservation.
Information Platform and Artificial Intelligence Applications
The data collected through these technologies is managed in a centralized information platform. Additionally, artificial intelligence applications are being implemented to optimize data management. This approach not only enhances daily heritage management but also promotes its dissemination and conservation.
The implementation of these tools represents a paradigm shift in the way cultural heritage is managed in Aragon, emphasizing the importance of technological innovation in this field.
Actions and Future Perspectives
The project has enabled interventions in several significant cultural assets, such as the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Sijena and the archaeological site of Villa Fortunatus. The availability of digital models and real-time data on these assets facilitates their management and conservation.
Looking ahead, the incorporation of new digital materials and the sensorization of more culturally significant assets is expected. These actions, along with the evolution of the information platform, will strengthen the capacity of the Government of Aragon to preserve and promote its cultural heritage.
With these tools, the Government of Aragon is not only improving the management of its cultural heritage but also reinforcing its commitment to preserving and disseminating its historical legacy, aligning with the objectives of the Knowledge Heritage Network Project.
