Table 5 Digital outcomes from the Herit-IT Jordan project website and library and potential applications

From: Developing a heritage BIM shared library for two case studies in Jordan’s heritage: The House of Art in Amman and the Qaqish House in the World Heritage City of As-Salt

Digital outcomes

Potential applications

Virtual tours

Tourist promotion, including e-tourism enabling e-visits during a pandemic, and real estate promotion. Opportunity to include multiple layers of information, including semantic data and storytelling documenting intangible heritage values

Point clouds

Accurate documentation of the state of the building, extremely useful in case of material losses to plan for the intervention of repair

H-BIM model of the building

Extraction of 2D architectural drawings, including floorplans, sections, and elevations, usable to support conservation interventions for the specific building and for attracting investors

H-BIM families

Systematic gathering of potentially unlimited data, including technical data related to materials, useful both for planning interventions related to the specific building, but also adaptable to similar typologies thanks to the parametric nature of the H-BIM
