Abstract

This paper presents the overall information system architecture and the approaches used for creating the Palladio Virtual Museum — a heterogeneous database of history and architecture. Creating a virtual museum is treated as an information system engineering task[Martin90]. The World Wide Web (the Web) is used as the open access platform for both presentation and input. Client-server database transaction technology [Date95] is used to provide a concurrent real-time system for consumers (visitors) and producers of information. The system is a test bed for structuring, searching, and presenting historical, architectural, spatial information.
