A.I.M. [multimedia information archive] for the project

Abstract

Our main goal is to locate and integrate a range of technologies and operating strategies in order to create a latest-generation digital architecture that can provide a virtually unlimited multimedia information archive (A.I.M.) with scalable multiple format multimedia files (photos, drawings, etc.) and 3D models. It is basically about database applications: all the properties under survey must be appropriately inventoried and the inventory cards subsequently organized in a structured way. The purpose of the A.I.M. is to prove that it is possible to integrate different sources of information, constantly updatable and equipped with a specific interface for management and research, designed to dynamically support different levels of information. It also aims to be a valuable monitoring tool for professionals of restoration and conservation work, as well as managers of cultural heritage in general.
