The GIS Cloud of Lecce archaeological map: A tool for knowledge and sharing of archaeological data across the Web|Il GisCloud della carta archeologica di Lecce: Uno strumento per la conoscenza e la condivisione dei dati archeologici attraverso il web

The paper concerns an experimental system for the management of data related to the archaeological heritage of the urban area of Lecce. The system, based on the cloud technology (SaaS), includes a dashboard accessible from the web, some applications for the consultation of the new digital archaeological map of Lecce and for the management of an eterogeneous dataset of ancient features of the Messapian, Roman and Medieval times. The system is based on a suite of open source software modified according to the project purposes. The result is a web portal that offers an area for consultation/inserting/modifying alphanumeric and geospatial data and an area for consultation only, depending on the credentials of the users during login. This portal allows researchers and Public Administrations technicians to manage and share data, while other users (citizens, scholars, tourists) are able to query the data only.
