Abstract

This article is intended as a review of the contact points between information technologies and cultural heritage, starting from the classification and cataloguing methods applied both to scientific and historical research. The Author describes the aims, activities and results obtained by the Archaeological Superintendencies in Campania from the most important projects developed between 1987 and 2010. In these projects, thanks to the cooperation with private and other public institutions involved in ICT, specific patterns and models of cataloguing and territorial information systems were created related to the domain of cultural heritage, including databases and information retrieval, GIS and CMS applied to cataloguing objects and settlements, web sites and cooperative and distributed web systems for cultural contents dissemination. The Author analyses the various methods and purposes of the applications conducted for studying, safeguarding and promoting the historical and archaeological heritage, in order to define the phases of this technological development and outline the mutual influences and benefits for these different but increasingly interconnected fields of research.
