I hope all this information from the research gets captured digitally and shared openly as part of the effort. It would be fantastic to have that available to all for research or even just hobbyist reading.

There's a digital workgroup as part of the scientific project, with a centralized system that's described here : https://www.notre-dame.science/plateforme-de-centralisation-des-donnees/ https://www.notre-dame.science/plateforme-de-centralisation-... As far as I know, the data's only accessible to researchers.

  I don’t read French, so I can’t make out everything on the website, but my thinking was more along the lines of a Data.gov or other open data site where the data is freely available, along with a wiki for researchers that is public, perhaps like lkml. Also, multi-language is a must. The cathedral is not just a national treasure, it’s a historical site treasured by the world. It’s data should be as well. This could support research for decades into the future.

    The data infrastructure for this is Huma-Num [1][2], a project for humanities research institutions in France as part of a European network of similar initiatives. It's got an open data aspect to it but I'm not familiar with the endpoints. As far as internationalization goes, frankly I couldn't care less. Call me a brute, but I don't see why we French taxpayers should bankroll research in English. It's certainly impossible to be a decent Medievalist if all you know is modern English, albeit this project also involves technical disciplines like imagery, acoustics etc. [1]: https://www.huma-num.fr https://www.huma-num.fr [2]: https://documentation.huma-num.fr https://documentation.huma-num.fr

      French taxpayers shouldn’t. Since there are tons of donations from outside of France, that can pay for these portion.
