Abstract

The state of art of cultural heritage in Europe is very well known and evident, the wealth of artworks and goods expression of every kind of art from graffiti to frescos and architecture, issued along the centuries care of different people that inhabited the continent from Greeks to Renaissance and over, characterises uniquely the European cultural heritage. It sounds strange but it is this cultural wealth that causes problems that trouble the European Art. G8 has in this decade pointed out the problem related to cultural heritage information services and the European Commission has promoted several actions in the field of cultural wealth such as IST, Trans European Network Telecom (sect. Cultural Heritage), Raphael and Culture2000 / 2001 programmes. The Cultural Heritage Committee of the Council of Europe plays an active role in this scenario with “The European Foundation for Heritage Skills”. The European Foundation for Heritage Skills is a non-profit-making non-governmental organisation, set up in 1996 on the initiative of the Council of Europe. Since 1999 it has run its programmes through an association of partners with a secretariat in Strasbourg. The association's ex officio members include representatives of the Council of Europe, Unesco, the European Parliament and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). The purpose of the Foundation is "to foster progress in cultural heritage conservation skills and their transmission", in other words to enable European professionals to improve their ways of preserving the existing heritage and therefore handing it down to future generations. "Heritage" is now taken to mean not only prestigious monuments but also major rural or industrial buildings and sites, as well as the less tangible heritage of popular traditions. In addition there are several initiatives carried out by national institutions and private enterprises. Some European Regions are developing common projects and initiatives to co-ordinate their action all over Europe (both Western and Eastern countries) trying to offer to European “content holders” an open, inter-operable management of cultural wealth. Thanks to this scenario it seems to be the right moment to collect the efforts and co- ordinate the promotion of cultural heritage using as a leverage information technology and interactivity. Information systems devoted to monument management represent a nice but relevant added value market within this sector. HyperMediaGroup at Politecnico di Milano is committed to this goal.
