The need of effectively sharing information about architectural heritage affected
by disaster event, in order to foster its preservation, requires the adoption of a
common language and standards among the involved actors and stakeholders.
The application of spatial and geographical databases, enabling to connect architectural heritage representation with the data useful for hazard and risk analysis, could facilitate the pre and post event estimation of vulnerability.
This paper outlines a methodology to represent 3D models of the architectural
heritage according to some existing standards data models and thesauri inventories (INSPIRE, CityGML, UNESCO, CIDOC-CRM, MONDIS, Getty). In
addition, as a consequence of the collaboration between the Geomatics group and the Structural and Seismic Engineering group of the Polytechnic of Turin, an integration of the database for a correlation between the geometric entities of structural components and their related earthquake damage mechanisms was tested.@en
