SMWCon Fall 2014/The Canton of Zurich will deploy a SMW-based portal to manage historical monuments

About 5700 historical monuments, like farm houses, mills, churches, bridges, or parks, are located in the Canton of Zurich. They are registered and supervised by the canton's Built Heritage service (Denkmalpflege Kanton Zürich). The department's staff includes architects, art historians, historians and archeologists who will be supported by the new information portal in their daily tasks. The portal will help to manage the register of monuments, to document the history and current condition of the included monuments, to develop rules for the protection and standards for their conservation and to inform monument owners and the general public.

DIQA Projektmanagement GmbH, Karlsruhe will develop this portal based on Semantic MediaWiki.

In our presentation we will present the challenges of this mid-sized project, the requirements for the portal and how we are planning to solve them.
