Abstract
This chapter introduces heritage as a concept that acts as a bridge between the past and the present and one that brings pride from the past to the present. Heritages are classified based on various criteria, such as tangible versus intangible, natural versus cultural, portable versus immovable, and domain specific, among others. The management of heritages is a multidisciplinary and multisectoral undertaking. Stakeholders ranging from historians to archeologists, governments, scientists, and international organizations are playing an active role in heritage management and preservation. Of these groups, the contribution of scientists is most visible, especially in the development of scientific approaches, computer-based techniques, and information and communications technology (ICT) tools and platforms employed in the management, processing, sharing, conservation, and preservation of heritages, particularly digital heritages (DH).
