Abstract
This article introduces interdisciplinary research on digitizing industrial heritage, focusing on CAP44 in Nantes, a rare 19thcentury reinforced concrete structure. The building, being transformed into the ''Cité des imaginaires,'' is documented using CIDOC-CRM ontology, Omeka-S, and GraphDB to enable digital twin modeling. The AIDEN VR platform allows immersive 3D exploration of historical data via gestures, movement, and voice. This innovative tool enhances understanding and promotes digital access to complex heritage. The project also raises ethical and methodological issues, aiming for transparent and rigorous digital preservation of industrial memory.
