DESCRIPTION
Winning poster GSDI 11 world Conference june 15-19 2009 Rotterdam.TRANSCRIPT
Anyone who is interested in a certain phenomenon in
either archaeology, built history or historic landscape,
is facing a number of problems when trying to find
information:
• Information sources are very diverse of nature and
quality.
•The information is stored scattered over many
organisations, varying from governmental bodies to
local NGO’s.
•The form in which the information occurs differs:
ranging from very extensive and to a large extent
structured, usually GIS oriented datasets to mainly
documentary collections.
•Many datasets originate in thematic projects.
