Cultural Heritage Digital Data: Future and Ethics

Actual technologies are changing Cultural Heritage research, analysis, conservation and development ways, allowing new innovative surveys. Terrestrial and aerial laser scanner, terrestrial and aerial photogrammetric techniques, GIS (Geo- graphic Information System) and remote sensing techniques are nearly much needed methods in the Cultural Heritage field. These survey techniques produce different kinds of data that needs to be managed in the best way possible. Ethical questions come up about the future of these data. It is nearly necessary dealing with problems like data storage, hardware and software relationship and data redundancy.
