BIM Extension of WebGIS for Data Integration, Analysis and Representation

There is an urgent need to develop innovative research approaches and tools to enhance the “documentary double” that characterizes the design, construction, and management of the modern urban heritage – heavily transformed during the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries – within current processes of knowledge, onservation, and valorisation of existing buildings and infrastructures. Such tools must be dedicated to the standardization of information flows and the simplified accessibility of the historical and technical data preserved in local archives. Accordingly, this chapter presents the design and development of an extension for the SMUH webGIS platform, described in the previous chapter. This extension is dedicated to the integration of georeferenced 3D and information models, which can be navigated and queried via a web app accessible without specialized IT skills.
