The research project has the purpose of studying the building techniques of the 13th\u201318th centuries in the Sardinia region (Italy) for their knowledge, conservation, and promotion. The research is founded on a multidisciplinary approach involving several specialists integrating their expertise and providing their input to the knowledge of the dimensional, technical constructive, mensiochronological, materials, physical-mechanical, and energy performance features. This multidisciplinary approach is used to define the peculiarities and behavior of the examined structures, including their performance levels, and then direct the interventions toward innovative, mindful, and ethically correct solutions. The management of the huge amount of data produced during the research required the building of a SIS composed of a geodatabase connected to a GIS and a WebGIS through a Web Map Service (WMS). The entire infrastructure is developed and implemented using open source software components, and will make the research data available to the scientific and professional communities, both for further development and for technical uses. As of today, we surveyed and archived more than 500 buildings belonging to the Sardinia region architectural heritage, and classified them into four main macro categories: defensive architectures, religious architectures, residential architectures, and industrial architectures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi7020049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,5]],"date-time":"2018-02-05T09:29:42Z","timestamp":1517822982000},"page":"49","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["A Spatial Information System (SIS) for the Architectural and Cultural Heritage of Sardinia (Italy)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8161-7667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giuseppina","family":"Vacca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DICAAR, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, University of Cagliari, P.zza D\u2019Armi, 09123 Cagliari, Italy"}]},{"given":"Donatella","family":"Fiorino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DICAAR, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, University of Cagliari, P.zza D\u2019Armi, 09123 Cagliari, Italy"}]},{"given":"Davide","family":"Pili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DICAAR, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, University of Cagliari, P.zza D\u2019Armi, 09123 Cagliari, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Branchini, A.
