    Enrichments policy for the common European data space for cultural heritage

    This policy supports the conception and development of purposeful enrichment efforts that contribute to the objectives of the common European data space for cultural heritage. Enrichments are data about a cultural heritage object (i.e. metadata) or of the object itself (i.e. its content) that augment, contextualise or rectify the authoritative data made available by cultural heritage institutions. Enrichments of metadata aim to improve it by adding new, or refining or rectifying information about the object, while content enrichments aim to produce alternative representations in various media types of the object.

    Open Heritage. Community-Driven Adaptive Reuse in Europe: Best Practice

    Developing cultural heritage in a more sustainable way. New approaches and examples from practice. “Open Heritage” is a response to the urgent need for a more open definition of cultural heritage, of the parties involved in protecting and maintaining it, and of the relevant planning processes in order to ensure the sustainable reuse of cultural heritage in times of climate change, social inequality and social plurality. This book explores heritage challenges while addressing several core themes: reducing the neglect and waste of built resources; broadening the access to and beneficiaries

    An Insight into the Green Deteriorated Paint Layers at the Maritime Station of Alcântara (Lisbon): an Archeometric Study

    The article provides an in-depth analysis of the deteriorated green paint layers at the Maritime Station, focusing on the artwork by Almada Negreiros in Lisbon. The study reveals a complex composition of natural and synthetic pigments, including Fe-based pigments, calcium carbonates, and carbon black. Clinochlore, a mineral uncommonly reported for green pigments, was also identified. Various analytical techniques such as optical microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy, and micro-XRD were used to investigate the paint layers. The research uncovered the presence of synthetic organic pigments, particularly Pigment Green 8, in several samples. Additionally,
