abstract:
In the framework of the commemorations for the First World War, a GIS project was started in order to identify, archive and make known the places where the Italian Royal Army was engaged. The GIS operates through a set of raster layers represented mainly by maps and a set of vector layers dealing with places, catchment basins, front lines, deployment areas and so on. Particular attention has been paid to all occurrences of place names in order to univocally associate one place name to a set of geographic coordinates, thuis creating a specific geodatabase. An online GIS was realized to search and visualize data on the web.
