VERBI VEnice Research BIbliography

The project of Sistema Informativo dell'Edilizia Veneziana (SIDEV) is the result of the functional analysis of the system, analysis of the materials and interactions between users and the system itself. In our previous reports we confirmed the convenience of planning SIDEV as a service based architecture.
That is, an architecture that would allow managing a research activity built over a wide time span and by working groups spread over the territory. Even if SIDEV makes use of geographical data, working groups are asked to insert the descriptive textual data about buildings found during the research activities through a web based interface. SIDEV will not replicate any information that is already available for CORILA, instead it will be based on proven concepts of mapping services, using OpenGisConsortium blessed standards like WMT and OWS. The service based approach for CORILA will guarantee convenient and effective management of cartographic base: instead of duplicating, correcting, modifying maps in each application, these will be simply used by the
applications and will be enriched with thematic improvements by all research activities. The applications will not be designed as monolithic systems, developed and delivered as packages that contain all data, including descriptive textual data, other attachments and cartography. SIDEV is deeply based on this model of architecture that allows a high scalability of applications and best results for the research.
