Heritage--An Open Access Journal of Knowledge, Conservation, and Management of Cultural and Natural Heritage

Over the last fifteen years, studies on cultural heritage (CH) have assumed a methodological, cultural, and scientific perspective, aimed at creating an area in which to carry out frontier research to be replicated in other domains. Based on the use of technologies and methodological approaches, and stemming from other domains with the goal of connecting to the knowledge of the human past, conservation, interpretation, and management of cultural heritage, this paradigm is rapidly changing. This awareness has made it necessary to create a "place", or meeting point, to compare and discuss different ways of interpreting, conserving, and enhancing the natural and cultural heritage, by resorting to and making advances in the ever more performing and reliable technologies, and by exploiting the potential of digital humanities and the opportunities of Big Data.
