Call for papers

25th International Symposium on heritage documentation
International Committee for Documentation of Cultural Heritage
    (CIPA)
25th International Symposium
Taipei, Taiwan
August 31 - September 4, 2015

For many years, CIPA has been making great efforts integrating
technology with cultural heritage conservation.  The education and
dissemination of acquired knowledge is also its major concern.  CIPA
holds an international symposium every two years presenting the
latest scientific research and providing a forum for specialists in
conservation and technology to communicate and exchange their ideas.

After examining the properties inscribed on the World Heritage list
and those on the tentative list in the past, a problem with
imbalanced representation of the territories and themes is
identified.  Thus, The World Heritage List: Filling the Gaps:  an
Action Plan for the Future was published in 2004.  It particularly
addresses the importance of diversity that mankind as a whole needs,
and how this diversity can bear witness to the Cultural Heritage
that exists in the course of human history.  It is also hoped that
the imbalanced representation on the World Heritage List can be
resolved.  In the era of globalization, the development of
digitization instruments and methods should closely correspond with
the evolution of the concept in cultural heritage conservation and
the application of technology.  Yet with the restriction of the
territorial extension, cultural differences and instrumental
limitation, there have been gaps between the application of
digitization instruments and conservation concepts.  In view of
this, a platform set up for continuous communication and integration
is eminently required.
