The online database

Isometric reconstruction of various stair systems

Grandi Horrea (drawings N. Monteix, EFR)

Using an online collaborative platform to create a shared and evolutive database is at the heart of the project.

This means to integrate into a database and to spread on line the results of information extracted from research undertaken not only by the project partner teams, but also, at last, by all specialists working on warehouses.

The database is based on the developement of two "tables" of data : warehouse records, source records. The table of “warehouse records" is based on a data model developed by researchers in charge of the programme. The system includes a mapping application and a multi-criteria search engine.
