Abstract

The present work is part of a wider transdisciplinary research aimed at studying the building techniques of the 13th - 18th centuries in Sardinia (Italy) for their knowledge and conservation, but also for the analysis of their technical performances, both in their original and in their current state of conservation. In particular, within the more complex multidisciplinary research project, the task of the authors illustrated in this paper was to build a WebGIS dedicated to the management of the enormous range of data collected during the investigations. In summary, the work consists of designing a database which allows storing and managing textual information, feature geometries, spatial data. This infrastructure was entirely built using Open Source software. Furthermore, it has been published on the Internet as a WebGIS with background maps and navigation, input and query tools. The final informative system represents an effective operational tool, since it allows an in-depth knowledge of the historical structures and supports the decision-making in the fields of maintenance, conservation, consolidation and enhancement of historical architectural heritage.
