    Cultural heritage is a common good passed down as a legacy from previous to future generations. Its preservation is a strong commitment to humanity. The main motivation for this project is based on this understanding and arose from the need for the proper and scientifically documented recording of cultural heritage (CH), both movable and immovable monuments of ecclesiastical cultural treasures. Despite its significance, the systematic documentation of ecclesiastical heritage remains fragmented, lacking a standardized and scientifically driven approach. This research addresses this critical gap by developing a structured methodology for the recording, organization, and digital archiving of ecclesiastical CH monuments. This was accomplished by codifying the actual recording and documentation needs for the ecclesiastical cultural treasures, with the systematic study of the users’ needs. The study focused on the region of Thrace, encompassing areas of Greece, Turkey, and Bulgaria, where post-Byzantine ecclesiastical treasures are expected to be in abundance. Through the design and implementation of surveys and metadata collection, this project has the capacity to facilitate digital transformation across the interconnected fields of religion, arts, and CH. Stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, both within and outside the clergy community, including owners and end-users connected to ecclesiastical cultural treasures, were actively involved in the process. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the vital role of building distance communication channels and promoting digital transformation across the interconnected fields of religion and cultural heritage. Our emphasis was to actively engage stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to create a practical, user-friendly documentation tool that meets their actual needs.

    A digital platform for heritage data sharing: the ecclesiastical repository for ecclesiastical treasures in the NARRATE project

    Cultural Heritage (CH) is a shared legacy, and its preservation reflects a collective responsibility to safeguard our common history. The ERASMUS+ project NARRATE - Needs for Digital Recording and Documentation of Ecclesiastical Cultural Treasures in Monasteries and Temples, funded by the European Union, aimed to preserve both tangible and intangible ecclesiastical heritage through the creation of a digital repository. NARRATE focused on the structured documentation of ecclesiastical CH and the management of a digital archive tailored to the needs of the clergy, many of whom are unfamiliar with digital tools. Through user-centered surveys, the project integrated the clergy's perspectives to ensure the tools developed were accessible and relevant. The repository comprises two components: i) the Interactive Dashboard, allowing users to manage ecclesiastical artifacts and access educational materials, and ii) the NARRATE Server, which comprises a Web application that enables end-users and third-party services to interact with it and exchange data, ensuring interoperability through CIDOC-based semantic metadata. Alongside, NARRATE offers multilingual educational resources, including videos and guides, designed for both clergy and the wider public. This fosters engagement in cataloguing, metadata annotation, and digital storytelling. NARRATE provides an inclusive platform for clergy, scholars, and the public to explore, preserve, and appreciate under-documented ecclesiastical treasures, contributing in this way to a cross-cultural understanding and sustainable heritage preservation.
