ACCESSIBLE HERITAGE - Remote trans-continental heritage support system

跨学科项目“可利用的遗产--远程跨大陆遗产支持系统”的目的是在遗产地开发和部署一个由长寿和远程环境监测设备组成的无线网络，并制定促进当地数据所有权的相关政策框架。根据该项目的混合性质，创新是在几个层面上进行的：从技术角度来看，该项目将确保传感器阵列的耐久性及其对主要环境污染物的敏感性，这在遗产监测中是以前没有做到的。从遗产管理的角度来看，该项目的主要创新之一将是如何拥有、访问数据并将其输入遗产遗址管理计划。这项研究将与英国遗产合作伙伴合作进行。因此，在传统问题的引领下，从科学的角度来看，有明显的创新。实验发展将包括传感器阵列的设计和校准，包括能够直接监测污染物和气候数据的修改。同时，还将开发一种带有微控制器的无线通信设备，用于采集信号并控制无线电通信。将开发一种通信协议，将传感器数据从本地设备收集到网关或接收器设备，该设备将把数据馈送到网络上。最新的传感器数据以及从三大洲的几个遗产地收集的数据的历史将在全球范围内与遗产伙伴合作设计的项目网站上提供，部署计划在研究金方案的三年内进行。选定的地点位于英国、非洲和亚洲，与英国遗产和联合国教科文组织合作。这些数据的提供将使我们能够监测和分析遗产气候，并根据气候变化造成的威胁落实调查结果。该网络确实有潜力在项目生命周期之后继续发展，从而最大限度地扩大其影响和方案的遗产。该项目的主办组织是伦敦大学学院(UCL)，有三个合作部门：伦敦大学学院电子电气工程系和伦敦大学学院纳米技术中心，而该项目将设在伦敦大学学院可持续遗产中心。项目合作伙伴包括英国遗产，它将在与政策制定、数据所有权和数据获取有关的问题上发挥关键作用，特别是在国际范围内。贝宁共和国政府表示支持，教科文组织世界遗产中心(东亚和太平洋股)的一名代表将以顾问身份行事。

The interdisciplinary project 'ACCESSIBLE HERITAGE - Remote trans-continental heritage support system' aims to develop and deploy on heritage sites a wireless network of long-life and remote environmental monitoring devices and to develop an associated policy framework promoting local data ownership. In line with the hybrid nature of the project, innovation is on several levels: from a technical point of view, the project will ensure the durability of sensor arrays and their sensitivity to principal ambient pollutants, which has not been achieved before in heritage monitoring. From the point of view of heritage management, one of the principal innovations of the project will be the way how data are owned, accessed, and fed into heritage site management plans. This research will be done in collaboration with the English Heritage partner. Thus, there is clear innovation from the scientific point of view, which is led by heritage questions.The experimental development will include the design and calibration of sensors arrays, including modification to enable direct monitoring of pollutants and climate data. In parallel, a wireless communication device will be developed with a microcontroller to sample the signals and to control the radio communications. A communication protocol to collect sensor data from local devices into a gateway or sink device will be developed, which will feed the data onto the web. The updated sensor data, as well as the history of collected data from several heritage sites across three continents will be available globally on the project website, designed in collaboration with heritage partners.The deployments are scheduled within the three year duration of the fellowship programme. The selected sites are in UK, Africa and Asia in collaboration with English Heritage and UNESCO. The availability of such data will enable us to monitor and analyse the heritage climate and to implement the findings in view of the threats imposed by climate change. There is a real potential for the network to grow beyond the lifetime of the project thus maximising its impact and legacy of the programme. The project host organisation is University College London (UCL) with three collaborating departments: UCL Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and UCL London Centre for Nanotechnology, while the project will be based at UCL Centre for Sustainable Heritage. The project partners include English Heritage, which will play a key role in issues related to policy development, data ownership and access to data, especially in the international context. The Government of the Republic of Benin has expressed its support, while a representative of UNESCO World Heritage Centre (East Asia and the Pacific Unit) will act in an advisory capacity.
