Abstract
Abstract. In the heritage domain, capturing facts and knowledge for preventive conservation of Built Cultural Heritage (BCH) requires access to a large variety of data. It is a multidisciplinary activity and uses heterogeneous terminologies. In this regard, the BCH-ontology has been developed to facilitate integration and exchange of heterogeneous built cultural heritage information. The BCH-ontology reuses three already developed ontologies: Geneva City Geographic Markup Language (Geneva CityGML), Monument Damage ontology (Mondis), and CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM). Additionally, it provides a complete semantic framework by defining some classes and properties for improving BCH management. This paper presents the validation of the BCH-ontology ontological model to determine whether the ontology is able to represent BCH data under a preventive conservation approach. The San Luis seminary is a historical building built in the late XIX century in Cuenca-Ecuador and it is employed as use case. This validation allowed the identification of further use cases where the ontology offers a potential additional value in the BCH-domain.

1.1 Built cultural heritage domainBuilt Cultural Heritage (BCH) is characterized by a plethora of heterogeneous information that is gathered by several stakeholders
Validation is made through use cases where some samples of the preventive conservation approach (PCA) are tested
After validating the preventive conservation phases with the BCH-ontology we can conclude that the ontology is able to represent the information of each phase
Summary
Built Cultural Heritage (BCH) is characterized by a plethora of heterogeneous information that is gathered by several stakeholders. International charters such us the Athens (ICOMOS, 1931), Venice (ICOMOS, 1964), and Burra (ICOMOS, 2003) charters recommend applying a preventive conservation approach for BCH-management. The following section explores some initiatives designed to facilitate this necessity. The preventive conservation approach for managing BCH demands a cyclical and systemic process of conservation actions. It goes beyond the assessment of state of conservation to include periodic assessments of risks and threats. It is meant to facilitate early damage detection by addressing first the deterioration causes so that intervention can be kept to a minimum (Forster, Kayan, 2009)
