SICaR: un sistema per la documentazione georeferenziata in rete

SICaR is an internet-based system, developed with Open Source software, for the management of the records gathered during restoration activities. These are mostly composed of preliminary analyses related to the nature of the artwork to be restored, its condition and the documentation of the work in progress. These records are mapped and geo-referenced (GIS 2D) to an 'iconometric' model of the artwork (e.g., a rectified photography). The system is completely accessible via web for consulting and inserting data. Consequently, this information can be directly used at the restoration site or in laboratories through wireless connection (GPRS, Bluetooth, etc.). The data managed by SICaR may be consulted through transversal access. In this manner, cross-referenced queries and statistics can be carried out more efficiently. Data is organised into two main categories: alphanumeric (e.g. general, historical, artistic, building materials, stratigraphical data etc., also stored in external archives) and geometric.
