As a matter of facts the structural damage may be caused by specific events or by some building conditions that may influence the decay phenomenons. Those condition may be referred either to a inadequate maintenance or to not inappropriate interventions. As an example, a defect in a roof if not quickly repaired could make it possible that the water hits the structure which may be not able to resist. As a consequence, the building or part of it at first shows cracks and secondly collapses. Also a superelevation of a building if not adequately planned may provoke an excessive load on the masonry generating cracks.

subclass of: Architecture work
comment: This class includes instances of coherent architectural organisms populating an urban historical setting. It consists in a single construction phase or by the merging/recasting of several pre-existing building units. This kind of organism is characterized by the presence of one or more functional units (residential and non-residential) connected to each other through common distribution elements and served by access at the road level; it is bordered by external facades with a generally continuous eaves line and a unitary or composite roof composed of flat and/or inclined parts consistent with all fronts (Acierno, Fiorani, Velios 2021). Instances of CP10 Building Unit differ from instances of CP2 Architectural Work for being related to an edifice that is considered a component of an urban historical setting. Meaning that instances of CP10 Building Unit are buildings which are components of an urban tissue, where the main characteristics are the relationships established among them.

subclass of: Architecture work
comment: This class includes instances relating to a portion of a CP10 Building Unit between the floor and the ceiling. In residential buildings, instances of CP12 Building Floor normally correspond to the presence of one or more residential units, but in historic buildings, instances of CP12 Building Floor may include only part of a residential unit (such as for a row house, composed of overlapping rooms, or for a noble palace, which housed and may still house a family and its employees on all levels of the building). It is also not uncommon for historic residential buildings to combine a ground floor with commercial functions and residential upper floors or for different functions to overlap with each other. This is often the case in specialised buildings, where instances of CP12 Building Floor may also involve floor-to-ceiling portions with different organisational and functional characteristics (e.g. classrooms and staff offices in a school).

Urban Unit
type: Class
subclass of: Architecture work
comment: This class includes instances corresponding to a coherent architectural organism populating an urban historical setting. It consists in a single construction phase or by the merging/recasting of several pre-existing building units and can be described only in its exterior features. This organism is characterized by the presence of one or more functional units (residential and non-residential) connected to each other through common distribution elements and served by access at the road level; it is bordered by external facades with a generally continuous eaves line and a unitary or composite roof composed of flat and/or inclined parts consistent with all fronts. An urban unit can be constituted by a continuous set of structurally connected but distinguishable building units as organisms that are architecturally coherent populating an urban historical setting and may contain within it places relevant to one or more building units. In this case, it overlooks on urban spaces through fronts that result from the succession of the individual facades of the building units. This specific type of urban unit is called ‘aggregate’. Alternatively, the urban unit can be a homogeneous and autonomous unitary element, bordered by urban spaces with whom it communicates through accesses to the ground floor and can contain open places inside. It overlooks urban spaces through a variable number of fronts generally figuratively and constructively coherent with each other. This another type is called 'residential or specialist punctual building unit' and consists in buildings such as villas or cottages (residential building) or complexes as hospitals or schools (specialist building) (Acierno, Fiorani, Velios 2021). Instances of CP13 Urban Unit differ from instances of CP2 Architectural Work for being related to an edifice that is considered a component of an urban historical setting.

comment: This class includes instances defined by sets of CP2 Architectural Work together with spaces related to architectural organisms, urban ensembles, or man-made landscapes. These instances represent 4D ensembles and can refer to the set that collects the constructed buildings and the empty spaces between them or to just the footprint of the empty spaces bounded by an urban physical perimeter or an architectural envelope. In either case, these instances are mutable over time, meaning that the shape and extent of the CP20 Spatial Entity can be changed over time and become precisely defined with the intersection of E53 Place and E52 Time-Span instances.

Other instances can be urban or rural constructions realised to protect humans or to host different functions also with a symbolic meaning, as for triumphal arches and for funeral chapels. In addition, instances can be terminals of infrastructures, such as monumental fountains, as well as rooms created by excavating and modelling a rock for residential or religious purposes. CP2 Architectural Work may also comprise components of buildings when they maintain a recognisable formal identity, such as for a renaissance chapel built in a medieval basilica or a façade of a building, with its proper formal, constructive and material features. It refers to man-made environments, built for human needs, either practical, aesthetic or symbolic, being relatively permanent and stable and with a size and scale appropriate for - but not limited to - habitable buildings.

comment: This class includes instances relating to a part of the architectural organism endowed with a spatial identity that cannot be further subdivided. Instances of CP22 Space Component are identified by their specific characters of continuity and recognizability referring to the built (A-F Ingenio 2017). They do not involve physical objects, but the footprint of empty space defined by them, subject to change over time, and represent 4D ensembles.

Maintenance
type: Class
subclass of: E11 Modification
comment: This class comprises instances of E11 Modification undertaken to maintain the form, structure, and construction apparatus of the CP2 Architectural Work. This activity occurs at periodic scheduled intervals or resulting from the detection of local malfunctions in the building system; it is aimed at extending the life of the existing building and may involve the replacement or addition of materials, elements and construction components, while still pursuing a conservative intent. Instances of CP23 Maintenance differ from instances of CP25 Conservation Intervention because of their specific character of repetitiveness and cyclicality and the low conceptual problematic nature of the operations to be performed. In fact, these are carried out using general protocols based on different issues that can be: 1) the expectation of effectiveness of a product (e.g., a stone surface protector); 2) the expectation of effectiveness of a building component (such as the drainage of an eave in a roof); 3) the expectation of effectiveness of a building technique (such as the roofing tile covering of a roof); 4) the potential harmfulness of a climatic event (rain, heavy wind, etc); 5) the expected consequences of a phenomenon (deposition of limestone contained in water, growth of nearby vegetation). These issues can be tackled without having to field special diagnostics and studies and the severity of the problem, as well as the material impact of the intervention are always limited. It follows that the maintenance plan, as a simple management protocol, can be formalised via the CIDOC CRM. This plan can in fact be instantiated using the class E29 Design or Procedure, related to an instance of CP23 Maintenance via the property P33 used specific technique (was used by), inherited from its superclass E7 Activity.

Typological Variation
type: Class
subclass of: E81 Transformation
comment: This class comprises the event that result in the simultaneous destruction of one or more than one CP2 Architectural Work and the creation of one or more than one CP2 Architectural Work that preserve recognizable substance and structure from the first one(s) but has fundamentally different nature or identity. Instances of CP26 Typological Variation deal with the organization of inner spaces, such as the distribution and connection of interior spaces in a residence or the internal organization of a church. A common example is the recasting of row houses into in-line palaces, with the interrelation of rooms on the same level, the elimination of the original vertical connectives and their replacement by a single staircase that distributes to all levels. Equally frequent was, especially during the late Italian Renaissance, the transformation of medieval three-nave churches into single-nave churches with chapels to meet post-Tridentine liturgical needs. Typological variation does not necessarily entail a change in function and may tie in with fairly limited transformations of material substance, but it still brings about a substantial transformation in the way the affected architecture is used and experienced.

Architecture Analysis Output
type: Class
subclass of: E13 Attribute Assignment
comment: This class comprises the actions of making assertions about one historical architecture or one or more of its components, also considering any single relation between various aspects concerning different architectures. These assertions derive from the specialistic study of the historic architecture, concerning different aspects of the discipline. For example, the class describes the actions of scholars and architects who make propositions and statements during some scientific procedures. These may be pertaining to the nature and layering of construction techniques present in the building, past units of measurement used to dimension spaces and structures, geometric proportioning criteria underlying the definition of spaces and structures, and lexical and linguistic references adopted as reference for formal choices. Possible instances of this class describe the results of the CP30 Architecture Condition Assessment or the CP34 Architectural Feature Assessment.

Among them, we have instances related to the masonry quality under different points of view, concerning the building characteristics, structural capacity, resistance to decay etc. Instances of CP28 Building Feature are also other characteristic, such as the presence and the nature of transverse connections, vertical inhomogeneities, connections between orthogonal walls and so on.
notation: CP28

Building Phase
type: Class
subclass of: Architecture Analysis Output
comment: This class comprises instances of CP2 Architectural Work related to a unified construction process carried out over a defined period of time of a built presence. These instances, related to the restitution of the configuration of a historical building in a given historical period, are the product of in-depth knowledge of the building in its current state and inferential processes that can offer as objective indications as possible of the configuration of the building in a specific era.
notation: CP29

Construction Unit
type: Class
subclass of: Construction Work
comment: This class includes instances of composite portions of a building that have specific functions from a constructional point of view or that delimit and/or support the building or parts of it. Such instances may consist of the network of empty channels within the walls for smoke evacuation, the construction system of a wall (e.g., the two opposing faces and the intermediate core, any stone or plaster cladding), the construction system of a floor (e.g., consisting of main beams, secondary frames and wood planking, a layer of bedding mortar, and flooring).
notation: CP3

Architecture Condition Assessment
type: Class
subclass of: E14 Condition Assessment
comment: This class comprises actions of making propositions or statements about architecture conditions based on hypothesis and any form or formal or informal logic. The aim of the CP30 Architecture Condition Assessment is the understanding of material decay and structural failure of CP2 Architectural Work and B1 Built Work.
notation: CP30

Mechanical Failure Assessment
type: Class
subclass of: Architecture Condition Assessment
comment: This class describes the act of assessing the mechanical damage of a structure during a particular period. The mechanical damage may be carried out by the observation (directly or using a sufficient number of photos) of the structural disruptions found on the building (cracks, deformation and so on) and/or through historical research. It indicates the assessment about the manner in which a building is deformed and/or damaged by kinematic stresses, with particular reference to seismic phenomena.
notation: CP31

Architecture Features Analysis
type: Class
subclass of: E7 Activity
comment: This class comprises actions investigating instances of CP1 Built Entity, that can be determined by a systematic procedure. The aim of the CP32 Architectural Features Assessment is the understanding of constructive and formal features of CP2 Architectural Work and CP1 Built Entity. This class is used to document the building development, the technical, figurative and typological references of the architecture.
notation: CP32

Architecture Conservation Project
type: Class
subclass of: E29 Design or Procedure
comment: This class comprises documented plans for the executions of actions in order to achieve the preservation and compatible use or fruition of historic architectures, archaeological sites, hight-value modern buildings. These plans are depicted by drawings, protocols, and check list and they may result in new instances of CP38 Architecture Representation Object. They are used for shaping or guiding the execution of an instance of CP25 Conservation Intervention though the property Pc33 foresees (is foreseen by). The existence of an instance of CP33 Architecture Conservation Project normally implies the intention of any actor to realize it, because it derives from the necessity to hinder any kind of conservation problems. CP33 Architecture Conservation Project is an architectural project dedicated to an existing building that is recognised as being of particular interest and value. For this reason, the role assumed by the study of the pre-existence takes on a particular importance, since the design choices of both conservative and creative nature are based on it. In fact, the main objective of the project is to preserve the material, historical and figurative values of the historic building, without sacrificing the building's formal and functional effectiveness. CP33 Architecture Conservation Project differs from ActE2 Activity Plan because of its specific nature that requires special technical tools also prescribed by law which must give information about the final state of the building and the specific techniques of intervention. An instance of an ActE2 Activity Plan, on the other hand, consists of a site implementation plan or a site safety plan, which regulate how the various restoration activities are to be conducted on site, also taking into account workers' clothing, as well as working times and methods.
notation: CP33

Architecture Depiction
type: Class
subclass of: E31 Document
comment: This class allows the study of architecture to be documented through a description in words, orthophotos, drawings, digital models retrieved from an architectural survey. It represents the knowledge expressed through a physical document (E22 Human made object) such as a drawing or a report.
notation: CP34

Building-Formal Type
type: Class
subclass of: E55 Type
comment: This class includes types that collect formal or constructive characteristics shared by structures, units, components, and elements of architecture. Instances of CP35 Building-formal Type may concern the figurative organization of facades (e.g., facades with overlapping orders, with giant order, with regular windows) or the construction characteristics of masonry (e.g., regular row wall in squared ashlars; rubble masonry; reticulated work). Each aspect of architecture that lends itself to being identified according to defined design or construction rules can be instantiated using CP35 Building-formal Type, according to its own typology of reference.
notation: CP35

Architecture Type
type: Class
subclass of: E55 Type
comment: This class describes the presence of specific formal invariants related to the inherent organizational, functional and constructive aspects of the building. Instances of CP38 Architectural Type can concern form and relative distribution of spaces in architecture, the nature of which has been codified over time by architectural history. Instances of CP38 Architectural Type are the residential building types of townhouses, courtyard, in-line, etc., or the church types with three naves, central, Greek cross, etc.
notation: CP36

Architecture Graphic Representation Type
type: Class
subclass of: E55 Type
comment: This class is a specialization of E55 Type and comprises the concepts of architectural representation. Instances of Cp37 Architecture Graphic Representation can be orthophotos, 3D models, orthographic projections.
notation: CP37

Architecture Representation Object
type: Class
subclass of: E24 Physical Human-Made Thing
comment: This class comprises discrete, identifiable human made items created with the purpose to represent every kind of CP1 Built Entity using graphic or alpha-numeric representation, regardless to the scale of representation (from the urban scale to the detailed one). Instances of Cp38 Architecture Representation Object can be printed drawings, handmade sketches on paper, maquettes, reports on paper, or even digital models or 2D representation, files with structural or economic calculation, etc.
notation: CP38

Architecture Alpha-Numeric Representation Type
type: Class
subclass of: E55 Type
comment: This class is a specialization of E55 Type and comprises the concepts of architecture that can be expressed by written and/or numerical elaboration. Instances of CP39 Architecture Alpha-Numeric Representation can be written reports, calculation reports, sheets and tables.
notation: CP39

Construction Component
type: Class
subclass of: Construction Work
comment: This class includes instances of a part of the building unit which is consistent from the structural or technological viewpoint. Such instances may consist of the structural component of a floor or of a vault, excluding finishings such as flooring and plastering, the construction part of a wall (e.g., the two opposing faces and the intermediate core), as well as the door and window shutters.
notation: CP4

Historic Centre
type: Class
subclass of: E24 Physical Human-Made Thing
comment: This class includes instances of urban agglomeration composed by the historical buildings and the open spaces which formerly constituted the town. The historic centre is delimited by a perimeter that can sometimes coincide with the boundary of the city walls when they still exist or when they can be identified on the basis of historical records, material evidence, or on natural limits (streams, strong slopes, etc.). The chronological limit before the World War 1 (1919) normally identifies a part - generally central - of the town, but the contemporary city can also include several historic districts that are in fact disjointed. This threshold can sometimes result from the evident constructive mutation of the building, verified by the comparison with the available cartographic and historical graphic documentation and direct feedback (Fiorani 2019; Geores 2021). In terms of CPM ontology, instances of CP40 Historic Centres are composed by instances of CP13 Urban Units and CP16 Urban Area.
notation: CP40

Environmental Observable Entity
type: Class
subclass of: E1 CRM Entity
comment: This class includes instances of E5 Event that can be observed by human sensory impression on a global scale. It describes different types of environmental phenomena related to a specific place and affecting the state of preservation of buildings located there. Class CP41 Observable Environmental Entity describes qualitatively - referring to common categories developed by experts in the field - the most relevant environmental conditions of a site, especially in relation to weather and climate conditions
notation: CP41

Material Decay
type: Class
subclass of: E5 Event
comment: This class comprises natural events or man-made processes that create, alter or change physical things, with special reference to building material, by affecting permanently their form or consistency without changing their identity. These phenomena are generally pathological in nature per se or potentially and affect the physical features of a B1 Built Entity or, more generally, of a E18 Physical Thing. Instances of CP42 Material Decay are specifically referred to the phenomenon of material deterioration as defined in the Italian UNI 11182/2006 or in the Illustrated Glossary on Stone Deterioration Patterns from Icomos and ISCS. They collect the effect of addition to the material (surface deposit, efflorescence, crust, biological coating), but also the situations derived from the loss of material (disintegration, detachment, exfoliation, lacuna) or, simply, the change of some original characteristic of the material, such as the color appearance or the formation of stains, due to deterioration mechanisms.
notation: CP42

Structural Damage
type: Class
subclass of: E5 Event
comment: CP43 Structural Damage cases refer specifically to phenomena that cause changes in the structural behaviour of a CP1 Built Entity. These changes are normally due to failure mechanisms that favour the partial or total loss of a building's resistance capacity. Induced failure mechanisms manifest themselves with specific recognisable effects on building structures.Instances of CP43 Structural Damage thus refer, among others, to the phenomena of cracking, crushing of materials, deformation or change in the original position of a building structure as a whole or a part thereof.
notation: CP43

Construction Site
type: Class
subclass of: E27 Site
comment: This class includes pieces of land or see plan where a single building, a group of buildings, or a historic centre has been placed. The concept of a site is broader than the area exactly occupied by the single architecture and defines the main characters of this area and its surroundings; in the presence of a villa, the construction site gathers the area of the entire complex, both built and green. In contrast to the purely geometric notion of E53 Place, this class describes constellations of matter on the surface of the Earth containing buildings, which can be represented by photographs, paintings, and maps. Instances of CP44 Construction Site e are composed of relatively immobile material items and features with specific morphology and use and a proper geologic composition of the ground.
notation: CP44

Architecture Project
type: Class
subclass of: E29 Design orProcedures
comment: This class comprises documented plans for the executions of actions to realise new architectures (in the present or in the past) or to radically transform existing buildings. These plans are depicted by drawings, reports, check list, bill of quantities, etc., and they may result in new instances of CP1 Built Entity or for shaping or guiding the execution of an instance of E7 Activity.Instances of CP45 Architectural Project can be related to the different kinds of the project of an architecture (concept plan, final project, executive project, execution variant, etc.). Architectural project can be also constituted by models, sketches, analytic description, in short, any kind of indication that may have been worked out for the purpose of on-site implementation of the building.
notation: CP45

Building Activity
type: Class
subclass of: E7 Activity
comment: This class comprises instances of E7 Activity produced to build a new architecture or to introduce new important transformation in it, normally documented in CP45 Architectural Project. Instances of CP45 Architectural Project can also deal with activities carried out without any real design when they are equally significant for the final architectural configuration
notation: CP46

Building Activity
type: Class
subclass of: E55 Type
comment: This class specifies the different types of decoration existing in a CP1 Built Entity. Instances of CP47 Decoration Type concern techniques used for decorating architectures, components or elements, such as painting techniques, sculptural treatments of stone or wood, etc
notation: CP47

comment: This class specifies the different types of CP8 Equipment. Instances of CP48 Equipment Type can refer to plumbing, electrical or heating system, etc
notation: CP48

Urban Plan
type: Class
subclass of: E29 Design or Procedure
comment: This class includes urban planning instruments aimed at planning the activities to be carried out on cities; these instruments design and regulate uses of space focused on the physical form, economic functions, and social impacts of the urban environment. Instances of CP49 Urban Plan are urban instruments that identify the architectural, functional and constructive characteristics of existing buildings and sites and envisage the operations to be carried out in terms of the provision of services and infrastructure, new construction, transformation of existing buildings They can also contain restrictive constraints on the actions to be taken on the existing building. These plans are depicted by drawings, reports, check list, and forms address new instances of CP5 Architecture Project. Instances of CP49 Urban Plan can also be related to plans that modify already existing plans
notation: CP49

Construction Element Plural
type: Class
subclass of: Construction Work
comment: This class includes instances of the constructive component characterised by a technical specificity. Such instances may consist of masonry faces, roofing systems covering the trusses in a wooden roof, coffering ceiling, the window frames, the plaster cladding a wall.
notation: CP5

Urban Conservation Plan
type: Class
subclass of: E29 Design or Procedure
comment: This class includes urban planning instruments aimed at planning the conservation activities to be carried out on historical architecture; these instruments design and regulate interventions focused on the physical form and the construction structure of the historical urban environment. Instances of CP50 Urban Conservation Plan are urban instruments that identify the architectural, functional and constructive characteristics of existing buildings and sites and envisage the operations to be carried out in terms conservation and restoration of of existing buildings They contain restrictive constraints on the actions to be taken on the existing building but also the guidelines to orient how to intervene on the historical façades (in terms of colours, materials and constructive solutions), to the inner part of the building (preserving their historical character but also using compatible solution to allow the introduction of modern equipment and services), to the open areas (orienting the choices about materials, techniques and furniture). These plans are depicted by drawings, reports, check list, and forms address new instances of CP33 Architecture Conservation Project. Instances of CP50 Urban Conservation Plan can also be related to plans that modify already existing plans
notation: CP50

Building Component
type: Class
subclass of: Architecture work
comment: This class includes instances relating to parts of the architectural organism that subtend spaces that cannot be further subdivided. The instances of CP51 Building Component are identified on the basis of their specific characters of continuity and recognisability ascribable to a given period of time. These characters refer both to the physical architectural and building components and to the space that is defined by them.
notation: CP51

Construction Element Singular
type: Class
subclass of: Construction Work
comment: This class includes instances of the constructive component characterised by a proper material specificity. Such instances may consist of masonry faces, roofing systems covering the trusses in a wooden roof, coffering ceiling, the window frames, the plaster cladding a wall.
notation: CP6

Architecture Decoration
type: Class
subclass of: E24 Physical Human-made Thing
comment: This class includes instances of decorative apparatus closely related to the composition of the architectural work. Such instances may consist of figurative paintings on the façades of a building or on the inner face of the walls in a church, as well as stuccoes, graffiti, ceramic cladding and sculptures attached to the walls of the building. Unlike instances of CP6 Constructive Element Singular, instances of CP7 Architectural Decoration do not usually play a specific role in the construction other than strictly decorative. This means that in the presence of a stone lintel carved in bas-relief, the lintel as a structural element must be considered as an instance of CP6 Constructive Element Singular, while its vertical surface with bas-relief can be instantiated as CP7 Architectural Decoration. Similarly, the metal key head should be instantiated as of CP6 Constructive Element Singular, while the cover stud should be instantiated as CP7 Architectural Decoration. When the constructive and decorative aspects are not separable (e.g. the decorated wrought iron balustrade of a balcony), the element may be instantiated as either CP6 Constructive Element Singular or CP7 Architectural Decoration.
notation: CP7

Equipment
type: Class
