Changing the Heritage

Heritage vs Climate Change• The physical processes behind the

global rise of the oceans are gradual, but they will continue for a very long time,” says climate scientist Ben Marzeion. “This will also impact the cultural world heritage.” The scientists computed the likely sea-level rise for each degree of global warming and identified regions where UNESCO World Heritage will be put at risk throughout the coming centuries. While public interest so far was focused mainly on ecological and agricultural impacts of climate change, Marzeion and Levermann in the journal Environmental Research Letters now put the focus on the cultural heritage of mankind.

Inventory Paradigm• Whether to help guide construction of a

highway or gas pipeline, evaluate the condition of cultural heritage in the aftermath of a natural disaster, or determine if a demolition permit should be issued for a significant building, inventories are a necessary tool for heritage management. They inform authorities, scholars, and the public of essential information about heritage resources including their size, location, and significance. They also enable comparison of sites, aiding in categorization, appraisal of authenticity and integrity, and determination of relative significance—assessments that can assist in prioritizing management interventions.

HERITAGE DATA STANDARDS

• A widespread problem with heritage data over the long term is that data loses its meaning if it was inadequately documented and the individuals who originally understood it are no longer available. To encode and preserve the meaning of information managed by the software, Arches uses the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM), adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO); this model is a carefully constructed ontology that defines the possible relationships among heritage concepts.2 Use of the CRM keeps the data independent of conventions that are particular to the design of Arches. It also contributes to powerfully effective searches within, as well as across, data sets. It will facilitate data migration to newer systems and aid in the preservation of data over time.

Task force Heritage Bohol

• Reconstruction of ancient churches and other heritage structures in Bohol destroyed or damaged by the earthquake last year can start only by yearend.

• National Museum  director Jeremy Barns has announced that before the end of 2014, construction contracts will have been bidded out for the restoration and reconstruction of the damaged structures.

• In the meantime, painstaking studies are being made to determine the proper reconstruction and conservation approaches to be made.

• The Bohol Hertiage Task Force has also set up a system for the prevention of illicit traffic of cultural properties.

• Although there has no finding yet of pilferage. cultural properties must be registered with the National Museum. In damaged heritage churches, items that are usually pilfered are  the antique icons and chalices and other exquisite items used in the Eucharistic celebration.
