4. CONCLUSIONS
The data base developed has confronted the monument and the
related pieces of information in a unique way. Its design and
realization are an initial attempt to this important issue. It is
believed that, although a lot of considerations and analyses took
place, thorough investigation of all parameters is still needed.
The rational data base design is unquestionably of utmost
importance. At the same time special care has been given to the
kind, the hierarchy and, of course, the interrelations of the
contained pieces of information.
The realization of such a data base with these specifications
leads to the possibility of recovering information and properties
about the monument with speed and also with the ability to
relate them to the space of the monument and to themselves. It
is up to the users to make good use of these possibilities, but
also to re-specify the data base design according to their needs.
For the finalization of the data base structure, it should be put to
thorough practical tests for some time. In this way, the
necessary feedback for completing the information fields will
take place.
