ArcheoFi is a tool for sharing archaeological information between the City of Florence, the Superintendence and private companies operating in the city. Its purpose is to help scholarly research and build a city planning project that takes into account the complex reality of the urban underground. ArcheoFi aims to provide a simple interface, easily accessible via the web, with the main archaeological data and maps of excavation from 1860 to the present. ArcheoFi has a public open access part and a private one, accessible thorough a login and password. The public part is a web site that allows search of archaeological data, viewing of photos and maps. The private part is reserved for authorized users and contains more specific information and the forms for data entry. ArcheoFi is made with open source client and server side software (php, js, java). The data is stored in a Postgres-PostGIS geo-database and is shared through WMS services that can be displayed in all desktop GIS.
