Innovative Business Plans for H-BIM Application Related to Alternative Financing Opportunities for Cultural Heritage

Within the EU funded project “INCEPTION – Inclusive Cultural Heritage in Europe through 3D semantic modelling”, the use and application of H-BIM data is focused at. The project realizes innovation in 3D modelling of cultural heritage through an inclusive approach for time-dynamic 3D reconstruction of built and social environments. The methods and tools will result in 3D models that are easily accessible for a wide range of user groups and interoperable by different hardware and software tools. One of the main aims of the project is to develop an open-standard Semantic Web Platform for Building Information Models for Cultural Heritage (H-BIM) to be implemented in user-friendly Augmented and Virtual Reality applications on mobile devices. The Innovative Business Models for H-BIM applications related to alternative financing opportunities for cultural heritage is under development in order to exploit the results of the project. Nevertheless the innovative business modelling process is transferable on other cultural heritage driven projects. The objective is to achieve a sustainable viral reach of the data Platform and relevant apps by means of free of charge and open access applications, free use of general information, technical information and premium data at a reasonable price, involvement of large commercial and institutional players.
