Il work in progress della carta archeologica di Verona: primi passi metodologici, modello dati e documenti condivisi dal sistema informativo archeologico

Between 2011 and 2013, a project for developing the archaeological information system of Verona (called SITAVR) aimed to organize and archive the archaeological data, was started by the University of Verona and the Superintendence of Archaeological Heritage of Veneto region and with the financial support of the Regional Agency and the bank institute “Banca Popolare di Verona”. The first step was determined by a collaboration with the Archaeological Special Superintendence of Rome, which since 2007 was developing an Information System for the Italian capital. Thanks to the support from the colleagues and the conventions between the public administrations involved, it was possible to start the project using the data model and databases created for Rome as a basis. The second step was to study and adapt these artefacts to a smaller town like Verona, taking in consideration the different cataloguing necessities. During this phase, a new methodology (based on GeoUML model) and its tools were used in order to analyse the database of Rome and to create the conceptual schema as a reverse engineering process. The usage of the GeoUML tools allows us to obtain automatically the physical schema and the documentation for the new database of Verona. All the data collected will be available to the general public, both for a better public comprehension of the Information System content and eventually for reuse in other similar projects
