Development Process of Interactive “geohistory” Storming and Virtual Discovering

This paper demonstrates how to explore a design of a multimedia supported four dimensional (4D) information system to aid geographically-oriented the documentation of the two Ottoman fortresses of “Seddülbahir” and “Kumkale” through internet. This paper also presents a methodology for the integration of historical architectonic and Spatial Information (SI) technology, and new perspectives for historical documentation projects. Additionally, this paper examines a variety of ways in which Spatial Information System (SIS) application for a historical documentation project can be integrated with technological developments within the fields of database, visualization and internet. Building three-dimensional (3D) models, storing them and providing a user interface to visualize and manipulate them require new database and graphic technologies and robust programming languages. What is really needed is a system such that all data and functions can be accessed and manipulated in one seamless programming environment. “GeoHistory” has been implementing in order to build an open, seamless development environment. This paper will describe the design of “GeoHistory” as a SIS model and integration with its sub-components, such as “GeoHistoryRepository”, “GeoHistoryQueryInterface”, “GeoHistoryVirtualInterface” and provide an efficient method of documenting historical structures.
