Abstract

This paper presents the In.Res.Agri digital archive, developed within the PRIN 2022 project In.Res.Agri – Investigating Resilient Roman Agricultural Landscapes in Southern Italy. Conceived as part of the Digital Groma platform, the archive provides an open and FAIR-compliant environment for managing heterogeneous data related to topographical resources. Built on a PostgreSQL relational database, it integrates information from diverse sources – archaeological, geomorphological, textual, and archival – within a coherent data model structured around seven core entities. The system adopts national documentation standards to ensure semantic coherence, interoperability, and long-term sustainability.
