  <p><strong>Introduction:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Proprietary data formats, undisclosed specifications, partial standardisation, lack of adequate open formats, and the fast obsolescence of hardware, supporting operative systems and software are the major issues undermining both the data survival and reuse.<br>
  The cultural impact of data curation in these practices is a new phenomenon that reshapes established contextual procedures, legal requirements and professional definitions.<br>
  This DEDICATE seminar gathers together speakers from different institutions and background to demonstrate a variety of initatives addressing the management of built environment related at athat converge investigative methods, cultural approaches to data production and management and digital techniques.</p>
