                  (www.COSCH.info) is a transdomain European Action
                  (TD1201) in the area of Materials, Physics and
                  Nanosciences (MPNS). The Action runs from 2013 to
                  2017 and benefits from the support of the European
                  Cooperation in Science and Technology
                  http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/mpns/Actions/TD1201. The
                  Authors are active participants of the COSCH
                  network. They represent different disciplines
                  involved in documentation and conservation of
                  material cultural heritage. COSCH aims to enhance
                  applications of optical measuring techniques and
                  electronic imaging in this area. The paper outlines
                  scientific, theoretical and practical solutions
                  promoted by COSCH. COSCH activities have been
                  organised around six main subjects: (1) spectral
                  object documentation; (2) spatial object
                  documentation; (3) algorithms and procedures; (4)
                  analysis and restoration of cultural heritage
                  surfaces and objects; (5) visualisation of cultural
                  heritage objects and its dissemination; and (6) the
                  semantic development of the COSCH Knowledge
                  Representation. The Authors indicate future work
                  that is needed to resolve the identified scientific,
                  technical and semantic questions, as well as
                  challenges of interdisciplinary communication, to
                  ensure a wider adoption of specialist technologies
                  and enhanced standards in 3D documentation of
                  material cultural heritage — being a basis for its
                  understanding, conservation, restoration, long-term
                  preservation, study, presentation and wide
                  dissemination.}
