A multidisciplinary and interoperable dataset to understanding the dialogue between humans and the environment in Southern Umbria, emphasising sustainable management and valorisation of cultural and landscape heritage.

This article presents an integrated digital tool for the docu- mentation, reconstruction, and interpretation of ancient Um- brian landscapes, developed within Spoke 8 (Sustainability and Resilience of Tangible Cultural Heritage) of the CHANGES Partnership (Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Next-Gen Sustainable Society). The research aims to create a system of interoperable datasets that connect archaeological, carto- graphic, topographical, geo-environmental and documentary sources within a unified CAD-GIS environment. The proposed system is structured into multiple, interrelated datasets that organize complementary information: geospa- tial and documentary sources, historical cartography, archae- ological and topographical records, georeferenced graphical data, and thematic deliverables. Together, these components form a scalable digital infrastructure that ensures metadata standardization, interoperability, and adherence to FAIR prin- ciples. Applied to the Valnerina area, with a focus on the Municipal- ity of Arrone (Terni, Umbria) as a pilot case study, the frame- work supports the reconstruction of the cultural landscapeand the analysis of relationships between human settlement, environment, and territorial transformations. The resulting model provides both a methodological refer- ence and an operational tool for managing Tangible Cul- tural Heritage, promoting sustainable data integration, repro- ducibility, and open access. It establishes a transferable ap- proach for future regional studies, combining scientific rigor, spatial analysis, and heritage conservation within an interop- erable digital ecosystem. In summary, the study proposes a shared, interoperable, and sustainable model for the knowledge and enhancement of Umbria’s cultural-historical landscapes, providing a method- ological framework applicable to other territorial and re- search contexts.
