Use of 3D Geomatic Tools for Promoting Historic Buildings - The Case Study of Ktima Fix

Abstract

This paper presents the digital tools and methodology for the implementation of a web-based platform for the promotion of cultural heritage buildings and sites and relating this to people and their communities. The creation of the platform and its usability are described as well as the importance of such tools for the preservation and promotion of community cultural heritage as a tool for exploring, discovering, documenting, examining, analyzing, interpreting, presenting and sharing information related to people, communities, societies, places and material products and practices associated with those people and places. The case study demonstrates how existing content can be re-used to develop new content, applications and presentation paradigms.
