Following the implementation of the Virtual Multimodal Museum (ViMM) project, which finished in March 2019, the European Commission issued a Declaration on Cooperation on Advancing Digitisation of Cultural Heritage during the Digital Day in April 2019. One year later, in April 2020, the European Commission (EC) launched a commercial call for tenders to develop a Study on quality in 3D digitisation of tangible cultural heritage (the study). The tender theme is to acknowledge the increasing demand for internationally recognised standards for the holistic 3D documentation of Europe's rich cultural heritage (CH) and address the lack of standards. The study aims to map parameters, formats, standards, benchmarks, methodologies, and guidelines relating to 3D digitisation of tangible cultural heritage, the different potential purposes or uses, by type of tangible cultural heritage, and the degree of complexity of tangible cultural heritage. A team of researchers at the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) leads a consortium of partners from industry and academia across Europe to conduct this unique study. This work in progress paper introduces the research's objectives and methodology and presents some of its first results.

The demographic and historical database baptised ‘Charleville’ was created between 2007 and 2011. It was made possible by one of the more remarkable characteristics of the city of Charleville in the Ardennes department, where the history of its population is concerned. From the end of the seventeenth century up to the beginning of the twentieth, the municipal authorities carried out nominative, spatialized and annual censuses of the inhabitants. These censuses counted populations of around 66,000 inhabitants at a time. In the database, the census information has been coupled with that of parish registers which exist since the beginning of the seventeenth century, and civil registers of births marriages and deaths, available from 1792. In this way we can identify individuals whose name begins with the letter B (used as a sample), and follow them in the evolution of their families and households. The ‘Charleville’ database has recently been reconfigured by means of a massive data management tool (or big data) called ‘Demo-Hist’. This tool authorizes the identification and integration of documentary and spatial sources over time. It is interoperable by computer and allows for the exploitation of the Charleville data in a geographical information system (GIS). Using this GIS, it is now possible to reconstitute a 3D model of the city in 1836, and soon, making use of BIM technology (Building Information Model), it will be possible to offer an architectural and demographic composition of each block, plot and dwelling unit in the city, from its genesis to the present day, like a real GIS in 3D.
