Dear all,****
** **
Yesterday, I have met with the people responsible for the protection of
cultural properties at the Federal Office for Civil Protection in
Switzerland.****
The minutes (in German) can be found here:****
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Schweizer_Denkmallisten/…
****
** **
Here a summary:****
** **
**- **They are happy to help us with the monuments lists in their
area of competence (in addition to the lists of cultural properties of
national and regional significance which are handled at the national level,
there are also cantonal and municipal monuments lists which they are not
responsible for).****
**- **They are positive about Wiki Loves Monuments; the same is
true for the cantonal instances they are in contact with (monument
protection services / civil protection services).****
**- **They promised to provide us with database dumps, including
all the KGS-identifiers (A- and B-objects; identifiers of B objects have
been missing so far) by the end of May / beginning of June.****
**- **They will take measures to facilitate the updating of the
lists on Wikipedia in the future (clearly indicating changes on their
lists; making database dumps available).****
**- **They ask us not to use the official white-blue
cultural-property sign for any other objects than KGS class A objects and
not to use similar signs either (in fact the use of the official sign is
regulated by international law and Swiss law) – This should be taken into
account when designing the interfaces of information systems (map
applications, phone apps, etc.)****
**- **They gave us recommendations in order to avoid complications
due to the different semantic systems at various federal levels****
**- **They will be happy to get informed about any corrections made
by the community.****
** **
So, and now I hope that the 26+ cantonal and municipal authorities
responsible for the rest of the monuments will be as cooperative as the
federal ones! ;-)****
** **
Kind regards,****
Beat Estermann ****
