Digital Heritage Conservation: The SENNSE IoT Platform as a Structured Approach for Cultural Heritage Monitoring Projects

The care of tangible heritage is a relevant aspect in the field of cultural heritage (CH). New systems have been developed to monitor and protect cultural assets such as buildings, monuments, archaeological sites and artifacts preserved in museums. IoT technologies play a key role in the design and implementation of CH monitoring services. This paper proposes the design of the workflow for the planning of a Monitoring Project (MP) in the context of the implementation of a software platform called SENNSE (Spatial hEritage scieNce oNline Sensor Environment) based on IoT technologies, which aims to create an online system for sharing, managing and processing data coming from acquisitions in the CH field. The workflow is planned to assist the user in adopting a scientific approach, from the design to the installation of a sensor network in indoor and outdoor locations.
