CHIRON Project

The purpose of the research is to describe an open enterprise architecture framework, called “GeoHistory”, for GIS-based cultural heritage documentation and management. This research examines how Enterprise Architecture can be configured to embrace historical cultural projects. The Enterprise Architecture approach is one of the most challenging concepts in information and communication technology.
A strong business model and a strong technical architecture are imperative for the growth, maintenance and success of any e-business. “GeoHistory” can be used as a fine-tuning Enterprise Architecture framework for Geospatial Information System (GIS)-based cultural heritage documentation projects. It presents an innovative, adaptive and unified framework design for Enterprise Architecture that breaks the overall architecture into its major component areas. Then for each component area, a sub-architecture framework is defined. Together, all architecture frameworks define a vision for successfully implementing Enterprise Architecture in cultural heritage projects by improving e-business through semantic, interoperabe, and enterprise integration.
To achieve this, “GeoHistory” makes use of state-of-the-art open-source technology, including the Web, network, database, programming and visualization, and extends their functionality with common technologies and standards like UML, Linux, Java and XML to create a highly scalable Information and Communication Technology infrastructure. UML 2.0 was selected as the primary enterprise modeling tool for advanced modeling using a top-to-bottom approach for “GeoHistory”. Under this model, component-based “GeoHistory” provides service-oriented applications through a Web portal. “GeoHistory” is spatially enabled because it integrates geospatial technologies, in particular GIS.
