MULTIMEDIA SUPPORTED GIS ON THE INTERNET CASE STUDY: TWO OTTOMAN FORTRESSES AND A CEMETERY ON THE DARDANELLES

The goal of this project is to combine advanced visualization techniques and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to allow the viewer to be immersed in the data, therefore increasing perception and realism. Publishing Virtual 3D GIS application through World Wide Web (www) is another objective of the project due to cost-effectiveness and wide accessibility. This paper provides an overview of multimedia techniques, the web, and applications in GIS and mapping. The focus is on the concepts and principles of design for multimedia applications, particularly the incorporation of interaction and animation for the display of maps and their distribution through the World Wide Web.
