Methodologies for the valorisation of research applied to the fortified heritage. The INFORTREAT project

A dynamic digital infrastructure has been developed to valorise and disseminate research outputs on fortified heritage, particularly focusing on the study of architectural treatises and fortifications. This system, known as information architecture (IA), facilitates cross-searches by multiple keywords, enabling the extraction of data from various sources and authors. The platform integrates both objective data and interpretations derived from in-depth studies, simplifying access to materials and fostering disciplinary relationships among historical treatises. Designed with flexibility for future expansion, the system supports ongoing investigations and active participation from the scientific community, mirroring the adaptability of the fortifications it studies.
