Abstract
The cultural heritage of a city, both tangible and intangible, constitutes a resource of inestimable value that in the uprising digital era needs as well sustainable use and management. The transformation of heritage sites and cultural intangible fields into Smart Cultural Heritage environments implies to the development of Smart Cities. This paper introduces a new delivery model for providing cloud based cultural services to users, through advanced network infrastructures in Smart Cities environments. The proposed model is called Smart Cultural Heritage as a Service (SCHaaS) and aims to promote and preserve the cultural heritage through smart applications and participatory processes. This model also aims to be customized according the special cultural characteristics of a city and the needs of its citizens.
