Abstract

Research in humanities can benefit from the use of digital sources and tools. On the one hand, scholars can utilize the increasing number of digital reproductions of original sources from archives, which means that documents with optimal definition are readily available for consultation. Regarding the former criterion, different software can simultaneously process alphanumeric and geographical data to produce an integrated system including a database (DB) that collects, computerizes, and archives the data, and a geographic information system (GIS) that analyzes transformations in space over time. The second half of the 1990s saw a revolution in the humanities thanks to the application of GIS technology by archaeologists, geographers, historians, and historians of the social sciences. Subsequently, urban historians have begun to understand the value and potential of GIS for the history of buildings and cities. The creation of new approaches to the investigation, interpretation, and communication of urban change has been one of the aims of Visualizing Venice.
