»Karten schaffen Räume« – Reflexionen zum Aufbau eines Geoinformationssystems (GIS) zur Forschungsgeschichte des Palatins in der iDAI.world

Abstract

The geoserver is the central system within iDAI.world for processing, analysing and publishing geodata. Within the framework of this article, its essential functions are presented based on an ongoing project on the research history of the Palatine in Rome. Here we discuss its advantages and disadvantages in more detail with regard to an effective use. The aim of the article is to address the project-specific requirements for setting up a geographic information system (GIS) in iDAI.world and in this way both to lower the inhibition threshold for using the geoserver in the context of research in ancient studies and to stimulate its further development.
