MAGOH (Managing Archaeological data for a sustainable GOvernance of the Heritage)

MAGOH has started an intensive cooperation between the MAPPALab and the Superintendences, and one of the main purposes is to create a helpful system to reply at the officials’ needs. The system is designed to allow both the accessibility of functionaries and freelancers involved to tasks of protection and enhancement, throughout different access privileges and managements profiles, although integrated into a single framework, rationalizing and optimizing the development and consultation tools; but also access to content by external users, wishing to deepen their knowledge of their territory in the archaeological field.
The collaboration and skilled support provided by the IT and mathematic partners permit a synergic work for the comprehension and optimisation of the procedures provided by officials.
Thanks to the strong know-how performed by the MAPPA project, the heterogeneity of data has been treated through a preliminary phase of standardisation and categorisation, with the updating and creation of validated scientific thesauri and tools to check the reliability and verifiability of the data. Starting from the tools developed in MAPPA and ArchAIDE projects, MAGOH will provide a web-based platform including:
1) A database to store and manage the archaeological data supported by tools of semi-automatic digitisation of the documents and tools for semi-automatic extraction of contents through NPL technics.
2) A webGIS to capturing, geolocalisation, spatial analysis, data visualisation and accessibility
3) Long term preservation and open dissemination of the archaeological data by the MOD repository into the Digital Library of the Department of Civilisations and Forms of Knowledge of the University of Pisa.
4) the creation of the project website.
