The use of FOSS4G, which handles geospatial information, is increasingly being applied in the field of cultural heritage, with a growing number of practical examples. The FOSS4G Special Interest Group of the Geographic Information Systems Association organized a symposium titled “Cultural Property Information and the Utilization of FOSS4G”. Four case studies were presented, one commentary was offered, and a general discussion was held. Additionally, follow-up discussions were conducted on several key topics, including how to contribute to FOSS4G from the perspective of cultural heritage and the standardization of formats for cultural property information.
This report summarizes the outcomes of the symposium and the follow-up exchanges, highlighting the challenges and potential solutions related to the development and utilization of cultural property information.
