Datasets of reported damaged properties are vital for resilience efforts during and after wars. They are essential for the statistical analysis of damages and the distribution of funds and resources. This paper concentrates on these datasets to enhance the resilience of Ukraine's damaged cultural heritage sites and infrastructures as a result of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. More specifically, we use a semiautomatic approach to enrich such datasets and a linked data approach to improve the quality of published datasets and facilitate their integration.
