results of previous phases. ‘Live Theatre" project arose as a
lovical result of former activity of students and teachers of the
Department of Mapping and Cartography dedicated to the
building of baroque theatre at Cesky Krumlov castle (theatre).
Both geometrical and non-geometrical data were available.
Subsystems for management, research and presentation of the
site were elaborated in more detail in close connection with
general results of previous phases. Schemes of selected
prototypal data for each subsystem were created. Parameters of
technical solution were specified at the end of this phase.

The present state of the castle theatre in Cesky Krumlov is the
result of reconstruction of castle’s area in 1765-66. The theatre
represents a baroque stage in its mature form. The original
theatre fund is preserved in both actual objects such as the
building, auditorium, orchestra pit, stage, stage technology,
machinery, decorations, costumes, props, lighting technology,
fire extinguishers etc., as well as in rich archival documentation
such as librettos, scripts, texts, partituras, sheet music,
inventories, accounts, iconographic material, and other
information on theatre life in the 17th to 19th century. The
Krumlov theatre was closed to the public from 1966 to 1997,
and after the completion of a large part of the restoration, trial
tours of the theatre officially began in September 1997.
2.4.1 Initial sources: Both types of data - geometrical and
non-geometrical data were available.
- Geometrical data — it comprises a 3D model of the interior
of the theatre. This model was created progressively.
Photogrammetric, as well as surveying methods of
documentation were used in relation with the type of a
documented area. Creation of a 3D model is described in more
detail in [Hodac 2001]. CAD system MicroStation was used as
à tool for creation of the model. This 3D model is photo-
realistic and could be used for visualization and animation
purposes. Figure 6 show visualization of the upper stage part of
the theatre. The roof and exterior of the theatre are now being
documented.
- Non-geometrical data - original wide-ranging theatre
funds are gradually restored, recorded and catalogued. The
project of digitalisation of the most important funds was
completed 2 years ago. Now there is a digital form of ‘Basic
inventory of funds" (BIF) which contains the following funds:
costumes and props, decorations, technical and lighting
equipment. BIF is based on a card and photo-documentation of
each element.
The fund of technical equipment and the fund of decoration
(partly) were subjects of metrical documentation, see above.
There is no doubt about relevancy of spatial information in
these funds.
Additional sources of non-geometric data are — photo-
documentation, panoramic videos (see [OIS CK]), videos
(rehearsals), collection of sounds (scenic effects), historical plan
documentation etc.
For the purposes of IS proposal, the data (non-geometric) of
two funds were chosen — fund of technical equipment and fund
of decoration.
Fund of decoration — consists of sets of 13 basic stage scenes.
Fund of technical equipment — includes complete original
theatre machinery with sliding frames, winches, levers, pulleys,
and a movable lighting rack. The floor of the stage is also
original, including sliding and removable planks and trap doors.
2.4.2 Proposal of IS: The project of IS of the theatre has a
working name ‘Live Theatre”. The objective of the project is —
to create a living system. which could be used for recognition of
theatre culture in the baroque and more widely to recognise
general interrelations of life in the baroque epoch.
The project is realised in close co-operation with The
Administration of Cesky Krumlov castle and The Foundation of
the Baroque Theatre.
The schemes of data of two fundamental funds were designed
for each subsystem. The following topics were further
elaborated — user, functionality, data, form and future
development of IS.

Chart 7. Scheme of data, subsystem — research of site, element
of technical equipment
A fundamental segment of the proposed structure of IS is an
element. This element is connected with textual, graphical and
other information. The existence of an element is given by the
existence of a BIF card.
Various possibilities to get information on an clement are
designed for users. Geometrical data are the basis, see chart 7
and Appendix A. The user can choose a ‘Classical approach”
i.e. selection of fund + selection of element on a 2D plan or
from a list of elements. Another possibility is ‘Spatial approach”
i.e. selection of fund + selection of element inside a 3D model.
A straight wey — query to database - is also possible.
A combination of all above-mentioned approaches is possible —
for example — possibility of switching between 2D and 3D data.
