This article discussed the benefits of standardization of documentation and data formats of non-destructive testing (NDT) and analysis techniques, applied to different categories of cultural sites – paintings, mosaics, metal objects, statues, building elements, etc. The advantages of using the British standard SPECTRUM as a basis for standardizing NDT test procedures and of CIDOC CRM as a convenient standard for including specialized
ontologies for describing metadata and data, which are the outcomes of these processes, are considered. The authors argue that developing an extension of CIDOC CRM will offer standardization and interoperability and an efficient and easy way to classify, store and manage large amounts of information related to the application of NDT techniques on monuments and artifacts in a web-based environment.
