Extracted Abstract:
—The H2IOSC project aims to create a federated cluster of research infrastructures (RIs) in the domain of Cultural Heritage at the national level in Italy. Through four key Ris — DARIAH-IT, CLARIN, OPERAS, and E-RIHS — the project enables collaboration among researchers with interdisciplinary expertise. Within this context, DIGILAB emerges as a digital access platform for the Italian node of E- RIHS, providing data management, digital tools, and services to boost cultural heritage preservation, fruition, and study. A significant aspect of DIGILAB architecture is its capability to support geo-localization and real-time monitoring of cultural heritage sites in terms of environmental conditions, structural integrity, and diagnostics, leveraging on novel Internet of Things (IoT) systems and large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). By integrating WSNs into DIGILAB framework, the project enhances remote monitoring and control of cultural sites. These networks facilitate the collection of real-time data on factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, providing crucial insights for the Cultural Heritage research community. Moreover, WSNs enable proactive measures to be taken in response to emerging threats, mitigating risks and minimizing damage to cultural assets at a national level. Keywords—IoT, cultural heritage, wireless sensor network, data processing, data management, data visualization. I.
