German Limes (Obergermanisch Raetische Limes)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Roman frontier system developed under the<br />
Emperors Hadrian and Antoninus Pius between the<br />
Rhine and the Danube in south-western Germany,<br />
inscribed as part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire<br />
World Heritage Site in 2005.<br />
Governance Model<br />
A governance model sets out the way an organisation<br />
is steered and controlled identifying, for example,<br />
roles and responsibilities as well as reporting and<br />
management structures.<br />
Hadrian’s <strong>Wall</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> complex of frontier systems originally built on<br />
the orders of Emperor Hadrian in AD 122 and including<br />
its subsequent Roman modifications. Also used to<br />
refer to the linear stone and earthwork barrier itself.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Site was originally inscribed in 1987, becoming<br />
part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World<br />
Heritage Site in 2005.<br />
ICOMOS<br />
<strong>The</strong> International <strong>Council</strong> on Monuments and Sites,<br />
a non-governmental organization, was founded in<br />
1965 after the adoption of the Charter of Venice, in<br />
order to promote the doctrine and the techniques of<br />
conservation. ICOMOS provides the World Heritage<br />
Committee with evaluations of properties with<br />
cultural values proposed for inscription on the World<br />
Heritage List, as well as with comparative studies,<br />
technical assistance and reports on the state of<br />
conservation of inscribed properties.<br />
ICOMOS UK<br />
ICOMOS UK is the UK national committee of ICOMOS<br />
and is an independent charity that advises on aspects<br />
of World Heritage and sites for nomination across<br />
the UK. It promotes and supports best practice in the<br />
conservation, care and understanding of the historic<br />
environment.<br />
Inscription<br />
<strong>The</strong> formal process through which the World Heritage<br />
Committee decides whether a property should or<br />
should not be added to the World Heritage List. When<br />
deciding to inscribe a property on the World Heritage<br />
List, the Committee, guided by the Advisory Bodies,<br />
adopts a Statement of Outstanding Universal Value<br />
for the property. At the time of inscription, the<br />
Committee may also make other recommendations<br />
concerning the protection and management of the<br />
World Heritage property.<br />
Intangible heritage<br />
Intangible cultural heritage is the practices, expressions,<br />
knowledge and skills that communities, groups and<br />
sometimes individuals recognise as part of their cultural<br />
heritage. Also called living cultural heritage, it is usually<br />
expressed in one of the following forms: oral traditions;<br />
performing arts; social practices, rituals and festive<br />
events; knowledge and practices concerning nature<br />
and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship.<br />
Integrity<br />
Integrity is a measure of the wholeness and intactness<br />
of the natural and/or cultural heritage and its attributes.<br />
Examining the conditions of integrity, therefore requires<br />
assessing the extent to which the property: includes all<br />
elements necessary to express its Outstanding Universal<br />
Value; is of adequate size to ensure the complete<br />
representation of the features and processes which<br />
convey the property’s significance; suffers from adverse<br />
effects of development and/or neglect.<br />
Landscape Character<br />
<strong>The</strong> distinct and recognisable pattern of elements that<br />
occurs consistently in a particular type of landscape.<br />
LiDAR Survey<br />
Light Detection And Ranging Survey is undertaken by<br />
attaching a 3D laser scanner to an aircraft or helicopter.<br />
A cloud of measurement points across the landscape<br />
is produced as the laser-beam is fired at the ground<br />
and measured when it is reflected back to the sensor<br />
on the scanner on board the aircraft. Detailed terrain<br />
models can then be produced from this data, allowing<br />
mapping and identification of archaeological features,<br />
even those which are barely visible above ground.<br />
Limes<br />
<strong>The</strong> Latin term for ‘frontier’<br />
Nomination<br />
Countries (or States Parties) that have signed the<br />
World Heritage Convention, pledging to protect their<br />
natural and cultural heritage, can submit nomination<br />
proposals for properties on their territory to be<br />
considered for inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage<br />
List. Nominations to the World Heritage List are<br />
not considered unless the nominated property has<br />
already been included on the State Party’s Tentative<br />
List. If the Committee determines, based on the<br />
recommendations of its Advisory Bodies (ICOMOS and<br />
IUCN), that the nomination meets at least one of the<br />
necessary criteria, then the property proposed by the<br />
State Party is inscribed on the World Heritage List.<br />
