ACCESSIBLE HERITAGE - Remote trans-continental heritage support system

跨学科项目“无障碍遗产——远程跨大陆遗产支持系统”的目标是在遗产地开发和部署一个长寿命和远程环境监测设备的无线网络，并制定一个促进本地数据所有权的相关政策框架。与项目的混合性质相一致，创新在几个层面上：从技术角度来看，该项目将确保传感器阵列的耐用性及其对主要环境污染物的敏感性，这在以前的遗产监测中尚未实现。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管理计划。这项研究将与英国遗产合作伙伴合作完成。因此，从科学的角度来看，有明显的创新，这是由遗产问题主导的。实验开发将包括传感器阵列的设计和校准，包括修改以便能够直接监测污染物和气候数据。同时，还将开发一种无线通信装置，该装置带有微控制器，用于对信号进行采样和控制无线电通信。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，然后将数据馈送到网络上。更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提供，该项目网站是与遗产合作伙伴合作设计的。这些部署安排在研究金方案的三年期限内。与英国文化遗产组织和联合国教科文组织合作，选定了位于英国、非洲和亚洲的遗址。这些数据的可用性将使我们能够监测和分析遗产气候，并根据气候变化带来的威胁实施研究结果。在项目的生命周期之外，该网络的发展潜力是真正的，从而最大限度地发挥其影响和项目的遗产。该项目的主办机构是伦敦大学学院（UCL），它有三个合作部门：伦敦大学学院电子与电气工程系和伦敦大学学院伦敦纳米技术中心，而该项目将设在伦敦大学学院可持续遗产中心。该项目的合作伙伴包括英国遗产，它将在政策制定、数据所有权和数据获取等问题上发挥关键作用，特别是在国际背景下。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）的一名代表将以咨询身份行事。

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.
