Organizzazione di documentazione storica eterogenea per studi sull'instabilità geo-idrologica: un approccio a basso costo

The Istituto di Ricerca per la Protezione Idrogeologica of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-IRPI) located in Turin, since its foundation in 1970, has gathered a substantial and varied large volume of information dealing with natural instability processes (mainly landslides and floods) occurred in the last three centuries in the hydrographic basins of northern Italy. In collaboration with the Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR-ISTI) located in Pisa, a system of information management has been devised and realized, with the aim to computerize all available resources. This system is characterized by an open structure to the integration by other source information, the possibility to be used by any web browser, to query by an user friendly graphic interface, the coherence with web development trends and rules of website accessibilities and, last but not the least, the low cost.
