English abstract

The existence of historic building records in “paper fiches” is a reality and constitutes a rich store of information about the past, some of it unique. In this paper we present the results of a survey aimed to discover the current practices and methods for recording historic buildings, mainly from services of the Greek public sector, which are responsible for the build heritage. At the same time the survey focuses on the various schemas, from the collected “paper fiches” that participants use for the documentation of immovable monuments as well as on metadata standards for architectural works and their ability to describe the collected elements of these forms.
