INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 3


Publishable executive summary
The INCEPTION Data Management Plan has been updated according to the FAIR data management principles
(research data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable).
The first version of the Data Management Plan (October 2015) detailed what data set the project INCEPTION
will generate, whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it
will be curated and preserved, providing a preliminary framework for all data collected, processed and
generated.
After the assessment by the European Commission (October 2016), the following sections have been added
and improved:
 General information and versioning;
 Identification of relevant policies on data management, data sharing and data security, in addition
to Horizon 2020;
 Processes, documentation and metadata;
 Data sharing, particularly regarding the Semantic Web Platform and external users;
 Storage and backup.

After the Review Meeting held in February 2018, the Data Management Plan has been revised following the
template for FAIR data management.
Regarding findable data, the following sections have been added:
 How to locate INCEPTION data (website and platform);
 Data structure on INCEPTION website and platform;
 Metadata management.
Regarding data accessibility, the following sections have been improved:
 Data availability;
 Methods and tools to access data on the website and on the platform;
 The list of confidential Deliverables has been updated.
Two sections on data interoperability and re-use have been added.

The first chapter, “Data summary”, includes a description of data collection and generation in relation to the
project objectives, data types and formats, data origin and re-use strategies, expected data size.
INCEPTION data sets include different kind of file formats, digital data, standards and metadata. Given the key
role of 3D digital models and representations (even as effective supports for integrated information, shape-
related analysis and semantic data for in-depth studies by researchers and users), the overall data set is
comprehensive of different digital outputs, services and tools (such as 2D and 3D tools, applications, repository
platform, etc.) in order to enrich possible researches and inclusive approaches.
In addition to documents and reports, the project produced and will produce specific Deliverables related to
software, applications, and demonstrators. The main categories of “other” outputs can be summarized in:

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 4


 Optimized firmware (software that provides control, monitoring and data manipulation as
embedded systems of 3D data capturing technologies) for 3D data acquisition;
 Software to manage multilayer graphical and semantic heritage information into a BIM
environment;
 Web service and ontologies applications to manage semantic information;
 Software tool for 3D shape recognition;
 New standard to convert Heritage BIM models into the INCEPTION interoperable platform;
 Semantic search engine and web interface for wide range user access to the INCEPTION platform;
 Software tools for users applications (Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality).

Within this third version of Data Management Plan, the data set description of all INCEPTION Deliverables has
been kept. These explanations follow the outputs delivered and envisaged in the project Deliverables; the next
and most advanced version of the Data Management Plan could follow a different organisation, classifying the
data according to the specific IT outcomes. In order to simplify and clarify this data description, the scheme of
the Deliverables list has been followed.

Descriptions of the overall data set have been organized in a table including the following items:
 Output number and lead beneficiary: deliverable number and responsible partner;
 Dataset reference and name: provisionally filled with the title of the Deliverable; these letterings
will be replaced with an alphanumeric identification code once established, in order to store files
and data with a unique and shared coding system;
 Dataset description: description of the output (report, document, software, formats, languages,
etc.);
 Standards and Metadata: file extensions (with specifications of UA document: Universal
Accessibility, or other specific file formats);
 Data Sharing: explanation of the level of accessibility of different data set (among INCEPTION
partners, and available or partially available for public accessibility);
 Archiving and preservation: specification of where and how digital data will be stored (network
drives, local drives and project SharePoint).

Regarding data origin and re-use strategy (chapter 1.3), several file formats are created within the project,
from different sources.
In relation with data origin, we can easily distinguish data in four categories:
 sample data included in deliverables;
 developed applications as deliverables;
 data from surveys of demonstration cases;
 data elaborated for uploading on the Platform.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 5


The table “Expected data size” (chapter 1.4), has been filled in with the main data produced up to now, and it’s
in progress according to the progress of work.

Chapter 2, about data structure on INCEPTION website and platform, includes the section related to metadata,
updated in chapter 2.1.5. Two different issues regarding metadata within the INCEPTION project have been
described: metadata regarding public deliverables and metadata regarding 3D data on Demonstration Cases.
Metadata on Deliverables (metacontent) are defined as the data providing information about one or more
aspects of the data, such as:
 Means of creation of the data
 Purpose of the data
 Time and date of creation
 Creator or author of the data
 Location on a computer network where the data was created
 Standards used
Metadata on Demonstration Cases are managed so as every model have a clear set of metadata to classify it
through the current standard, regarding:
 identification of cultural heritage buildings semantic ontology and data structure for information
catalogue;
 integration of sematic attributes with hierarchically and mutually aggregated 3D digital geometric
models for management of heritage information;
 creation of a shared semantic field for cultural heritage;
 development of a “nomenclature” aimed at interoperable BIM with cultural heritage semantic
enrichment;
 implementation of guidelines for 3D parametric and semantic modelling in an H-BIM environment;
 development of semantic 3D reconstructions of the heritage sites, integrated with tangible and
intangible information.

Methods and tools to access INCEPTION data on the platform and the internal SharePoint are explained in
chapter 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
INCEPTION platform clients communicate with the semantic REST web-service and the data repository via
RESTful Web API using JSON formatted files.
Two web-applications have been created for the platform. The first one manages the upload of data and
information toward the file repository and the semantic REST web-service, using four different controllers.

The internal SharePoint environment is the central hub for the INCEPTION collaboration and exchange
platform of the data produced.
There are two ways to access this project website:
 By logging in with own credentials through the public website www.inception-project.eu under
Login Consortium Project Website, or

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 6


 Accessing directly the SharePoint via https://www.inception-project.org. A window will open where
registered members will log in with their private credentials.
In order to manage correctly the accessibility of users to the stored data, we make use of the Microsoft
SharePoint features that offer extensive support for the management of groups and permissions (appointing
read, write, upload, download, and/or full access). Through these features specific user groups were defined
and configured in order to allow appropriate access to the content stored. The permission structure outlined
below ensures that the SharePoint website remains a vehicle of conveying a coherent access to the users.

The updated list of confidential Deliverables is included in chapter 2.2.4:

D8.2 | First periodic management report (UNIFE) | M12
D8.3 | Second periodic management report (UNIFE) | M30
D8.4 | Third periodic management report: final management report and project results (UNIFE) | M48

Interoperability and data exchange are described in chapter 2.3 as well as new vocabularies and ontologies.
Chapter 2.4.1 describing re-use licences and embargo periods is under development, according to ongoing
activities on the platform and according to Stakeholders requirements and possible limitations.
Quality assurance strategies in chapter 2.4.2 are described according to a two-steps process:
1. data capturing and processing must be carried out following the workflow that will be outlined in
INCEPTION protocol and standard;
2. information archived in the H-BIM model will be checked and validated by a data quality control.

Data security issues are described in chapter 4.


On one side, the storage of deliverables is provided by DEMO Consultants thanks to the internal project
website (SharePoint), allowing also for information sharing among consortium partners as explained in D7.1 -
Public and internal websites, corporate design, publication and deliverable templates.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 7


On the other side, because one of the main aim is focused on making 3D models more accessible, re-usable and
effective for the understanding of European Cultural Heritage, storage and backup systems will be constantly
under investigation till the end of the project, in relation with the development of the INCEPTION platform.
Amazon Web Services, market leader in cloud computing and storing, are used for hosting both data and
platform. In particular, an EC2 X-Large instance is used for web-applications and Fuseki Triple Store, a RDS
MSSQL Server Express 2008 R2 instance is used to manage user’s profiling and a S3 instance as data repository.
Backup and maintenance is made using Amazon Backup Service itself.

Since the Data Management Plan is not a fixed document, it will evolve and gain more precision and substance
during the lifespan of the project. New versions of the Data Management Plan will be created after the
accomplishment of all actions within WP4 (INCEPTION platform for sharing Heritage BIM models), by producing
more focused choices regarding data set collection, storage needs, solutions and costs, and the
accomplishment of WP5 (Use Cases and Demonstration).
Whenever changes to the project or decisions occur due to the inclusion of new data sets or changes in
evolution of the project, the Data Management Plan will include relevant modifications.
The INCEPTION Data Management Plan will be updated by the final review to fine-tune it to the data generated
and the uses identified by the Consortium.

1. Data summary
1.1 Data collection and generation in relation with the objectives of the project
Within the INCEPTION project, a huge amount of digital data will be collected or produced.
In last years, we have seen a more and more growing number of different digital data format relating to 3D
modelling. Because one of the main aim of the INCEPTION project is to find out a solution to this situation,
figuring out which could be the right strategy to realise an effective standardisation, starting from existing data
format, in the following table a data set description for each deliverable is provided. As well, most common
standard and file types for each kind of data set are listed, trying to be most inclusive as possible in a real huge
panorama. Furthermore, even if the data set produced within a deliverable is composed by several files and
data formats, when the standardisation is the main aim of a specific deliverables, some restriction could be
applied. These restrictions, if part of the INCEPTION protocol will be presented in the specific deliverable on the
topic and, later on, they will be integrated in the following version of the DMP.

1.3 Data origin and re-use strategy
As highlighted by the table above, several file formats are created within the project, from different sources.
In relation with data origin, we can easily distinguish data in four categories:
 sample data included in deliverables;
 developed applications as deliverables;
 data from surveys of demonstration cases;
 data elaborated for uploading on the Platform.

Must be noticed that all deliverables, both sample data and developed applications, will be both, delivered to
the EC and stored in the INCEPTION SharePoint environment managed by DEMO.
The SharePoint restricted consortium website runs on a server located in the data center of Nedzone in
Steenbergen, The Netherlands. The datacenter of Nedzone is a certified (Dutch norm ISO 27001) secured data
center where DEMO Consultants leases a storage unit where physical access is only granted to DEMO
Consultants and IMS ICT, in charge of the maintenance of the servers. In this storage unit the physical servers,
storage systems and network components such as router / firewall and switch are housed. The separations
between the various functionalities that are available in the infrastructure are made on the basis of VLANs.
Each functionality has its own secured VLAN that is shielded from each other. SharePoint has its own VLAN and
the virtual servers are housed there. The backup and replication of this infrastructure and thus, of the
SharePoint environment is processed in triplicate: onsite backup, onsite replication and offsite backup to an
external location. Access to the SharePoint environment is only possible via an SSL secured access set for this
purpose. All traffic from client to server is encrypted on the basis of this SSL certificate. Comodo is the external
'Certificate Authority' (CA) and thus, supplier of the certificate. The layout and infrastructure of the
environment is based on Microsoft standards, validated in collaboration with Microsoft consultants and meets
all requirements regarding information security, backup and privacy measures.

Deliverables uploaded in the Participant Portal for Commission Services will be completed of all detailed
explanations, data and results useful for the reviews by the Commission; some final PDF report will be partially
available on Inception public website.
In this case, the re-use strategy will refer to the classification as Public or Confidential deliverable.
Furthermore, some specific background knowledges, intermediate results and project steps developed by
Consortium partners in order to reach the main outcomes of the project could be partially managed as
confidential even for “Public” Deliverables.

On the other side, data elaborated for uploading on the Platform will be the real core of the FAIR data
management, since they represent the most effective contribution to the research sector. Methods and tools
for data access and use will be explained in further chapters.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 15


Conversely, data captured on-field cannot be considered to be released for further re-use since they belong to
institutions in charge to manage buildings and sites classified as demonstration cases. Furthermore, the high
metrical accuracy of relevant buildings in the city (i.e.: Istituto degli Innocenti in Florence) need to be safely
stored in order to prevent inappropriate uses.

2. FAIR data
2.1 Making data findable, including provisions for metadata
Must be noticed that, as previously stated, data created within the INCEPTION project should be distinguished
in data available on the INCEPTION website and data available on the INCEPTION platform. For this reason, the
following paragraphs are split in two, in order to better explain how to locate and correctly find the needed
data for every purpose.

2.1.1 How to locate INCEPTION data: the INCEPTION website


The public website of INCEPTION project acts as a communication and dissemination channel for the outside
world of the project’s results. In addition, the website is meant to involve (and enlarge) the stakeholders’
community interested in the work and achievements to be gained within INCEPTION. In this context, the public
website will serve as the main interface towards the stakeholders (refer to D7.1 for more details). For efficiency
reasons, the INCEPTION public website will be directly connected to the INCEPTION Semantic Web platform
though user-friendly access. Next to the public website, the internal project website, SharePoint, is meant to
facilitate the information sharing process among consortium partners by allowing partners to store data. This is
a restricted website which can be accessed directly by the consortium partners and EC-officials with login
credentials and can be done both through the web-enabled portal as well as mobile devices (iPad App).

2.1.2 How to locate INCEPTION data: the INCEPTION platform


INCEPTION data are available both as semantic form by using Fuseki non-relational database and as direct file
transfer via Amazon S3 repository. Fuseki Endpoint can be queried directly via HTTP protocol at
http://34.243.216.182:3030 or by using provided interface Web APIs (chapter 2.2.2). Instead the latter is
reachable by using Amazon’s Access Key Pair and the designed Web APIs (chapter 2.2.2).
An instance of the HBIM Inception ontology and the other project dependent ontologies are saved on the
semantic repository and can be queried and extracted as a RDFgraph from the SPARQL Endpoint.

2.1.3 Data structure on the INCEPTION website


The information on the INCEPTION public website is of public interest, thus made openly available for a wide
public. The public website is meant as a way to disseminate and distribute the findings and advancements of
the INCEPTION project. This information is structured under the following menu items:
1. Home (Latest news, synergy with other projects, newsletter subscription, social media share)
2. Project description (rationale, main aim, benefits, objctives and work programme)
3. Background (it describes the knowledge context of the INCEPTION playing field. The contents are
expected to be extended during the course of the project).
4. Partners and stakeholders (overview of the partners and stakeholders involved, content consisting of
company profile, logo’s main roles and key persons involved in the project)
5. Demonstration cases (consisting of the case description set up in INCEPTION)

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 19


6. Research results. This section gives an overview of the public (and open access) results of the
INCEPTION project of interest for all target groups. This section is regularly updated and filled with
content provided by the partners. The results are categorised under the following sub-headings:
 Articles and reports
 Presentations
 Movies
 3D models
 Newsletters (all published newsletters will be made available here. A PDF format will be made
available for visitors to download)

Parts of the public website and the available published publications/downloads, as well as the information
made available via the company websites of the consortium partners regarding the project, will be used for
local dissemination (sometimes in English, sometimes in the national language) only with prior consent of the
other consortium partners and the Project Coordinator.

The restricted SharePoint website serves as the central hub for content used by the INCEPTION partners and EC
officials. The access and availability to the information stored on this website is based on the login credentials
and user rights management. The data produced within INCEPTION is structured under the following folders:
1. Home
 Announcements; to post messages on the home page of the site
 Calendar /Events; to keep informed of upcoming meetings, deadlines, and other important events
 Change password; to be able to change your login password
 Site Users; list of all groups on the SharePoint
2. Links to other sites, relevant to INCEPTION partners
3. Document libraries (Shared documents - exchange documents with consortium partners)
4. Picture libraries (pictures of partners)
5. Lists (calendar, contacts, work package action plans, dissemination overview)
6. Discussions
7. Groups (collections of members of relevant sub-groups like Work Packages and Task groups, with
contact information and email grouping.

2.1.4 Data structure on the INCEPTION platform


Semantic data coming from 3D model conversion are stored in a Fuseki Triple Store instance running on an
Amazon EC2 X-Large machine. A brand-new dataset is created whenever a user updates data for a new scope
and/or a new model to the semantic REST web-service via the INCEPTION platform. More specifically, each
dataset identifies a single scope for a given site. More graphs are also created inside every dataset, according
to the number of updates. In fact, for a given site-scope couple (i.e. a dataset) the number of named graphs
identifies the number of available updates.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 20


The project semantic graph can refer to external ontologies and other Linked Open Data available on the World
Wide Web: in this case, the data store in the Fuseki triple store contains links or references to those data. That
kind of data are not essential to the model reconstruction and navigation, so if the link is broken it makes no
arm to project consistency.
Other references can be to the project enrichment files that are stored in the Amazon Aws S3 storage. The
reference to the file is stored in the Fuseki triple store but the file is stored in the S3 service.

2.1.5 Metadata management


Metadata is structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to retrieve,
use, or manage an information resource. Metadata is often called “data about data” or information about
information.
There are three main types of metadata:
 Descriptive metadata describes a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include
elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords.
 Structural metadata indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered
to form chapters.
 Administrative metadata provides information to help manage a resource, such as when and how it was
created, file type and other technical information, and who can access it. There are several subsets of
Standard-administrative data; two that sometimes are listed as separate metadata types are:
− Rights management metadata, which deals with intellectual property rights, and
− Preservation metadata, which contains information needed to archive and preserve a resource.

Two different issues regarding metadata will be managed within the INCEPTION project:
 metadata regarding public deliverables;
 metadata regarding 3D data on demonstration cases.

Metadata on deliverables
Metadata was traditionally in the card catalogues of libraries. As information has become increasingly digital,
metadata is also used to describe digital data using metadata standards specific to a particular discipline.
Describing the contents and context of data or data files increases their usefulness. For example, a web page
may include metadata specifying what language the page is written in, what tools were used to create it, and
where to find more information about the subject; this metadata can automatically improve the reader's
experience.
The main purpose of metadata is to facilitate in the discovery of relevant information, more often classified as
resource discovery. Metadata also helps organize electronic resources, provide digital identification, and helps
support archiving and preservation of the resource. Metadata assists in resource discovery by "allowing
resources to be found by relevant criteria, identifying resources, bringing similar resources together,
distinguishing dissimilar resources, and giving location information."

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 21


Metadata (metacontent) is defined as the data providing information about one or more aspects of the data,
such as:
 Means of creation of the data
 Purpose of the data
 Time and date of creation
 Creator or author of the data
 Location on a computer network where the data was created
 Standards used

Metadata on demonstration cases


INCEPTION’s H-BIM is mainly characterized by integrated semantic metadata for cultural heritage, open
standard semantic web and open-source services in semantic web platform, i.e. 3D data storehouse, which can
be edited or embedded into other services; parametric models of components as well as distributed data store
to enable reusability; combined 3D viewer with query and data extraction capacities on semantic data as well
as geometric information.
Cross-disciplinary research and exploitation methods will comprise the domains of: history, archaeology,
sociology, anthropology, architecture, structural engineering, computer sciences, etc. Cross-disciplinary
methods will be made operational for: data collection, case studies setup, selection and utilization of systems,
knowledge management, implementation of semantically enriched models.
INCEPTION 3D models’ metadata are under development at this stage of the project, related to the semantic
modelling for cultural heritage building. Every model will have a clear set of metadata to classify it through the
current standard, regarding:
 identification of cultural heritage buildings semantic ontology and data structure for information catalogue;
 integration of sematic attributes with hierarchically and mutually aggregated 3D digital geometric models
for management of heritage information;
 creation of a shared semantic field for cultural heritage;
 development of a “nomenclature” aimed at interoperable BIM with cultural heritage semantic enrichment;
 implementation of guidelines for 3D parametric and semantic modelling in an H-BIM environment;
 development of semantic 3D reconstructions of the heritage sites, integrated with tangible and intangible
information.

2.2 Making data openly accessible

2.2.1 Availability of INCEPTION data


In order to ensure the widest possible data use and sharing, INCEPTION will develop advancement in web
interface for accessing and understanding digital cultural heritage buildings and sites; common standards for
user oriented applications; the H-BIM interoperable platform embodied a set of components that can be used
with many different operating systems, optimizing the use of existing open standards.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 22


Understanding, enhancement, promotion and management of cultural heritage are the aims of the open-
standard semantic web platform for accessing and sharing interoperable digital models resulting from 3D data
capturing. The user-friendly procedure will encourage contributions from different experts from different
disciplines in order to foster interdisciplinary studies, resources and innovation. The interoperability and
implementing opportunities will assure continuous updating and enrichment od the 3D models in the open
platform.

The semantic REST web service is located at a specific URL in the web (http://34.243.216.182:3030/) and
documented with a related HTML. It responds to SPARQL queries. Examples are downloadable from the
INCEPTION platform, allowing developers to explore through queries the semantic content of Inception.
Furthermore, the INCEPTION platform web application provides the end users with direct entry-points for each
specific model.
Moreover, related layer of ontologies should be shared as common background for queries and user
exploration.

2.2.2 Methods, tools to access INCEPTION data on the platform


INCEPTION platform clients communicate with the semantic REST web-service and the data repository via
RESTful Web API using JSON formatted files.
Two web-applications have been created for the platform. The first one manages the upload of data and
information toward the file repository and the semantic REST web-service, using four different controllers as
described in the following table.

Controller Description (Method) Function and description


General Controller Handles general purposes functions (GET) ConfigHandler - Gets the configuration
infos for the web-application.

(POST) ServicesHandler - Starts or stops the


conversion services on the server machine.
Conversion Controller Handles the conversions between IFC, BIN, (POST) IFC2BINHandler - Converts an IFC file
TTL, OBJ and DAE formats. to BIN format using IFC2BINService and
saves it back on server.

(POST) BIN2TTLHandler - Converts a BIN file

S3 Controller Handles the upload to the Amazon S3 (POST) S3FileUploadHandler - Uploads a list
repository of files to the S3 repository.
Sparql Controller Handles all the operations toward the (GET) FusekiDatasetHandler - Gets the
semantic REST web-service (Fuseki Triple named property 'ask' for each dataset of

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 23


(POST) FusekiHandler - Stores all the given
information on a dataset on the Fuseki
Database. If the dataset does not exist then
it creates a brand new one.

(POST) ExtraDataHandler - Saves the


information about the uploaded
attachments to the Fuseki Database using
DocumentationMapping ontology.

(POST) GeoUploadHandler - Saves


information about geolocation to the Fuseki
Database using Basic Geo ontology.

The second one manages to download data from the repository and info from the triple store and display them
back to the users using two more controllers.

Controller Description (Method) Function and description


S3 Controller Manages all the APIs to interact with (GET) GetFile - Gets a file from the S3
Amazon S3 Repository. Repository and saves it to the specified
folder. The file is identified by its UID
retrieved from the Fuseki Database.
Sparql Controller Manages all the APIs to interact with the (GET) GetTree - Gets information from
Fuseki Triple Store. Fuseki Triple Store about scopes and
updates for the given model.

(GET) GetModelsByCategory - Gets all the


models for the given category.

(GET) Export2TTL - Exports the triples stored


in the Fuseki Database to Turtle file (TTL) for
a given model, scope and update.

2.2.3 Methods, tools to access INCEPTION data on the internal SharePoint


The internal SharePoint environment is the central hub for the INCEPTION collaboration and exchange platform
of the data produced.
There are two ways to access this project website:
 By logging in with own credentials through the public website www.inception-project.eu under
Login Consortium Project Website, or
 Accessing directly the SharePoint via https://www.inception-project.org. A window will open where
registered members will log in with their private credentials.
In order to manage correctly the accessibility of users to the stored data, we make use of the Microsoft
SharePoint features that offer extensive support for the management of groups and permissions (appointing
read, write, upload, download, and/or full access). Through these features specific user groups were defined
and configured in order to allow appropriate access to the content stored. The permission structure outlined
below ensures that the SharePoint website remains a vehicle of conveying a coherent access to the users.

2.3 Making data interoperable

2.3.1 Interoperability and data exchange between institutions


INCEPTION is in synergy with Europeana's main scope and objectives and will cooperate with Europeana in
order to integrate the INCEPTION 3D standard into the newly developed EDM format.
Synergies with EU projects related to the main objectives and innovations targeted by INCEPTION will enable a
fundamental clustering procedure in relation to Europeana's main scope and objectives and a joint effort with
the main Europeana sub-projects (CARARE, LoCloud, Europeana Creative, Europeana Cloud, etc.).
INCEPTION is consistent with data enrichment and sharing adding new values according to the purpose to
transform the aggregation process by building on Europeana cloud infrastructure.
Project outcomes will provide researchers, engineers and experts with new protocols and instruments for
modelling and analysing cultural similarities and differences through 3D semantic modelling of European
cultural heritage. This impact will be enlarged through INCEPTION consortium partners associated with
Europeana –the trusted source of cultural heritage brought by the Europeana Foundation and a large number
of European cultural institutions, projects and partners.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 28


In particular INCEPTION will follow the following aims:
 development of a set of protocols for Cultural Heritage 3D data capturing, in line with Europeana's
EDM format, based on quality indicators as time-consumption, cost-effectiveness, results accuracy
and reliability, adaptability to different sites with different historical phases and artefacts;
 creation of a Historical database repository in relation to Europeana's main scope and objectives, to
save and share 3D models with the associated semantic information, documents and all the other
possible contributions delivered by external users (i.e. Professors, Experts, Students, End-Users).
The database will store the geographic coordinates to display these models into a specific historical
map managed with a historical geographic information system (HGIS);
 the wider circle of stakeholders involved by INCEPTION will be created to enlarge the number of
external users. Partners will approach the professional associations and non-governmental
organizations that are interested in knowledge gained from the INCEPTION project and products
delivered by partners. An example is approaching of the ICOMOS National Committees as it has
been recently done in Slovenia and Cyprus. In addition, partner from Slovenia invited the Slovenian
Association of Earthquake Engineering (SAEE) to take part in the INCEPTION as the member of
second circle of stakeholders. SAEE will be invited to take part at the next meeting of INCEPTION in
Bled, Slovenia where the application of INCEPTION results for earthquake risk mitigation of cultural
heritage assets will be discussed between the SAEE members and INCEPTION partners. SAEE is also
a member of European (EAEE) and International (IAEE) Association of Earthquake Engineering and
its representatives will be asked to inform members of those two associations about the INCEPTION
products. Although the risk assessment is only one of issues related to cultural heritage it is highly
important for preservation of heritage which is under constant risk of sudden environmental
impacts. Following the attempt of partners from Cyprus and Slovenia other partners will be
encouraged to launch similar initiatives.
Three INCEPTION partners are also members of COST Action TD 1406 Innovation in Intelligent
Management of Heritage Buildings (i2MHB). The objective of this Action is to create a pan-European
open network, to promote synergies between Heritage Science's specialists, industrial stakeholders
and research/education players, to achieve a unified common understanding and operation in the
Heritage Buildings domain, integrating multidisciplinary expertise, technology and know-how
through a novel and independent global framework. The cooperation with this action already
started during the joint meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus on November 3 rd 2016. Through this channel the
number of stakeholders included in the above mentioned wider circle will highly increase because
members of 26 COST countries are working together in topics that are very close to INCEPTION
topics (http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/tdp/TD1406?parties).
 proposed standards for 3D data acquisition protocols; Semantic Web ontology of Heritage-BIM; test
and integrate also the Europeana Plug-In Solutions.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 29


Linked Open Data is a way of publishing structured data that allows metadata to be connected and enriched, so
that different representations of the same content can be found, and links made between related resources. All
Europeana data sets can be explored and queried through an SPARQL endpoint. 1

2.3.2 New vocabularies and ontologies


The Inception HBIM ontology is under completion using a top-down integration from the Demonstration Case.
The current core Inception HBIM ontology is exposed through the SPARQL Endpoint, accessible from
developers to be used in external application integrated with Inception.

2.4 Increase data re-use

2.4.1 Re-use licenses and embargo periods


Re-use licenses are stated in the Consortium Agreement, Attachment 1, Articles 25.2 and 25.3.
Additional specifications are under development, according to Stakeholders requirements and possible
limitations.

2.4.2 Quality assurance strategy


The QA is performed by a two-step process:
3. data capturing and processing must be carried out following the workflow that will be outlined in
INCEPTION protocol and standard;
4. information archived in the H-BIM model will be checked and validated by a data quality control.
The application of a shared procedure for data capturing and collecting allow to generate multiple coherent 3D
models (D2.1 - Optimized data acquisition protocol) as well as semantic information based on common
parameters for EU cultural assets (D1.2 – Programme of users and technical requirements and common
parameters for EU cultural assets). In the same way, the H-BIM phase needs to be performed following the
INCEPTION standards to develop models that could be accessed, managed and exploited by all the users.
The second step to assure the data quality is based on a data validation process: all information, geometric and
sematic, connected in the H-BIM model could be checked by specific rulesets in order to validate their use for
specific purposes. The process will be performed before/during the uploading on the INCEPTION platform
according to specific standard defined by the consortium (D4.1 - Development of INCEPTION standard for
Heritage BIM models).
More detailed information could be found in D1.3 - Knowledge Management and Collaboration Method.

3. Allocation of resources
3.1 Estimated costs for making data FAIR
Estimated costs for data preparation to be FAIR are 24.000 Euro. Expenses consist of additional publication and
documentation costs of three months for one full time equivalent and publication costs of the repository.
Associated costs for dataset preparation and data management during the project will be covered by the
project itself.

3.3 Long term preservation resources


Long term preservation is assured by using standard ISO formats to prevent digital obsolescence. Moreover,
replication and metadata mining are used for deterioration coping. These latest strategies are implemented via
Amazon Backup Service, semantic-web architecture, and non-relational database. For more information refer
to D4.2.

INCEPTION | Deliverable report 7.6 | Data Management Plan 31


4. Data security
4.1 Data storage and recovery
Two different issues regarding storage, backup and preservation will be managed within the INCEPTION
project:
 storage and backup of deliverables;
 storage, backup and preservation of 3D models and data uploaded on the platform.
On one side, the storage of deliverables is provided by DEMO Consultants thanks to the internal project
website (SharePoint), allowing also for information sharing among consortium partners as explained in D7.1 -
Public and internal websites, corporate design, publication and deliverable templates. The system is powered
by Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. and the access to the SharePoint environment is only possible
via an SSL secured access set for this purpose. All traffic from client to server is encrypted on the basis of this
SSL certificate. In addition, access to uploaded contents is possible both through the web-enabled portal as well
as mobile devices, and is only possible for registered users with login credentials. The backup of uploaded
contents is ensured by DMO periodic internal procedures, as explained previously in sub chapter 1.3 (the
backup and replication of the SharePoint environment is processed in triplicate: onsite backup, onsite
replication and offsite backup to an external location). The layout and infrastructure of the environment is
based on Microsoft standards, validated in collaboration with Microsoft consultants and meets all
requirements regarding information security, backup and privacy measures.

On the other side, because one of the main aim is focused on making 3D models more accessible, re-usable and
effective for the understanding of European Cultural Heritage, storage and backup systems will be constantly
under investigation till the end of the project, in relation with the development of the INCEPTION platform.
Amazon Web Services, market leader in cloud computing and storing, are used for hosting both data and
platform. In particular, an EC2 X-Large instance is used for web-applications and Fuseki Triple Store, a RDS
MSSQL Server Express 2008 R2 instance is used to manage user’s profiling and a S3 instance as data repository.
Backup and maintenance is made using Amazon Backup Service itself.
Furthermore, the chart below summarizes how working data created within the project will be archived and
preserved.

4.2 Long term preservation strategy


All deliverables, reports in particular, submitted will be included in the long-term preservation ensured by the
use of PDF/A ISO standards. The PDF/A standards are developed and maintained by a working group with
representatives from government, industry, and academia and active support from Adobe Systems
Incorporated. If the preservation of deliverables is easy to manage because of standard file formats and small
amount of data.
3D models long-term preservation will be also ensured using IFC standard (ISO 10303). Moreover, all semantics
and geometrical data related to the models are first converted in triples using standard and world-shared
ontologies (RDF, RDFS, HBIM, BasicGeo) and then stored on the Fuseki Database, from which they can be
recovered and exported in various standard formats.
