Data acquisition and data management for the emergency rescue of cultural heritage

Emergency rescue of built or movable cultural heritage in the event of a disaster involves the collection of potentially large amounts of information. In order to process this data, the KulturGutRetter project (KGR - Cultural Heritage Rescue Unit) developed a workflow based on the use of mobile devices for data collection and an easy-to-use system for final data management during response operations.

This concept not only takes into account the documentation of movable or immovable cultural heritage, but also the tracking of the processes carried out in the handling of cultural objects in the different rescue phases. In addition, once the fieldwork is completed, the information is then synchronized and processed for further use of the data.
