Paper
An Open Enterprise Architecture Framework Design for Cultural Heritage Documentation
Track: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): Caner Guney, Rahmi Celik, Sevda Gul Erturk

The purpose of this paper is to describe an open enterprise architecture framework, called "GeoHistory," for GIS-based cultural heritage management. The focus will be on technological rather than business, data or information aspects. GeoHistory faces the challenge of designing, building, and maintaining a "small- and medium-scale" distributed enterprise system that is able to adapt to changing business needs by improving e-business through semantic, interoperable, and enterprise integration. 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 with historical research and documentation. Finally, the growth stages of GeoHistory will be examined followed by how GeoHistory promotes effective management of the project by maximizing the use of geospatial data.
