DIRECTORY OF ORNAMENTAL STONE PROPERTIES
ATLAS OF EUROPEAN ORNAMENTAL STONES
The main objective of this WP is to develop a European “identity card” for ornamental stone, providing basic information regarding their composition, physical properties and “performance in use” criteria. The “identity card” will form the core of a European directory (or database) of ornamental stone properties. While the Atlas will address the geological and geographical distribution of ornamental stone, the “identity card” will represent the technical characterization of each stone. Another goal of WP4 is to develop guidelines for using the directory and to test the directory for selected partner countries.

WP5: ORNAMENTAL STONE HERITAGE
Work package 5 aims at establishing tools to assess the value of dimensional stone resources. This will contribute to better maintenance of stone-built heritage, better conditions for SME’s and better protection of stone resources in land-use planning. The work will address three aspects of stone heritage; the intrinsic value of stone quarries and quarry landscapes, the value of stones from their use in stone-built heritage, and the traditional crafts. This will result in three guidelines, one on each aspect. At least two case studies will be performed on each aspect, used for demonstrating, testing and illustrating the guidelines.

WP6: LINK TO INFORMATION PLATFORM
This work package (WP6) will secure the integration of the information structure generated by EuroLithos with the Information Platform (IP). Specifically, WP6 will identify and discuss requirements in close dialogue with the IP team and ensure that the principles and guidelines provided by the IP-project is followed and implemented. Finally, WP6 will assess the use of UNFC geology axis for ornamental stone resource classification.
