The document summarizes the DURAARK project which aims to develop methods and tools for long-term preservation of 3D architectural data, metadata, and related knowledge. It identifies key stakeholders in the architectural field and their needs around data preservation. Stakeholders include surveyors, architects, engineers, construction companies, building owners, cultural heritage institutions, and public administrators. The project also outlines three layers (bit, logical, and semantic) needed to fully preserve digital objects and gaps identified in current preservation practices. Upcoming work includes stakeholder workshops and development of tools to extract metadata and enrich data semantically to support long-term usability of preserved 3D architectural models.
