Integration and Analysis of Sampled Data: Visualization Approaches and Platforms

The evolution of digitization technologies (2D and 3D) and the consequent wide availability of digital representations of artworks has ignited a number of works aimed at providing tools and platforms for archival, visual presentation, and integration of all those media. This chapter reviews some available instruments, focusing first on the platforms that could support the CH/DH professional in the single or cross-analysis of multimedia representations. Then, we discuss the available approaches for structuring and integrating the available data, presenting both the GIS-based solutions and the more recent Web-based systems. Some discussion on open issues concludes the contribution.
