Abstract
Abstract. The Heritage Documentation allows the monitoring, maintenance and conservation by the most recent, efficient investigation techniques and storage of data. A key role in Heritage Documentation is represented by the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Information System (SIS), thanks to the possibility offered by this instrument not only to connect spatial elements (geographical features) to attribute tables, but also manage various information in the form of raster (terrestrial, aerial and satellite imagery), 3D point clouds, 3D models and other vector data. The paper describes all the activities that lead to the construction of a SIS, especially in relation to the new survey technologies with particular focus at survey performed by Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP). In addition, after explaining the relationships between the different information systems that contribute towards creating of a SIS and the various professions involved, a case study in Paestum area (Italy), showing the efficiency of Spatial Information System (SIS) technology, is discussed.
Highlights
In order to document the architectural of Cultural Heritage (CH) environment, a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology becomes important because this approaches allows to manage, within a georeferenced system, heterogeneous information produced at different stages of research and acquired in different ways (Hosse et al 2003; Donadio et al, 2015; He et al, 2015)
For Cultural Heritage applications of GIS technology, it is better to talk about Spatial Information Systems (SIS): usually local reference systems are used to locate the acquired data, so geographic coordinates can be used as ancillary information in order to locate the objects in a more general context
The various components and relationship that contribute to the formation of a SIS are: data acquisition, Archeological Database management, representation and maps
Summary
In order to document the architectural of Cultural Heritage (CH) environment, a GIS technology becomes important because this approaches allows to manage, within a georeferenced system, heterogeneous information produced at different stages of research and acquired in different ways (Hosse et al 2003; Donadio et al, 2015; He et al, 2015). For Cultural Heritage applications of GIS technology, it is better to talk about Spatial Information Systems (SIS): usually local reference systems are used to locate the acquired data, so geographic coordinates can be used as ancillary information in order to locate the objects in a more general context. The model of relationship between the GIS and other System Information proposed by Maguire (1991), can be write in a new relation in SIS environment, with focus at field of Cultural Heritage. The various components and relationship that contribute to the formation of a SIS are: data acquisition, Archeological Database management, representation and maps (historical or less recent cartography)
