Research Interests

My work involves the study of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications, using open source software, to present archeological information on the Internet. Until recently, ordinary maps were used to present archeological sites. One of my objectives is to study the results of combining GIS technology with the Internet to present archeological information. For example, if we can use more than one map to display a selected area at different points in time and according to different kinds of data, we can create ‘dynamic maps’ that provide many kinds of information of the selected area. In addition, we can link such maps to the Internet in order to provide data or output that can be widely accessed at any time. For my project, I have tried to find ways of using open source software to exhibit multimedia maps of archeological sites via the Internet.
