4.6 Web publication 
Formats used (XML, XSL, SVG) for the storage and the 
publication of the data are strongly Web oriented. It is possible 
to create Web publications of information relative to a survey 
by setting up on a server a Web server as well as a server 
allowing the processing of data in XML (like Apache Tomcat 
for example). The use of a server has two advantages. First one 
allows a large audience to display the results of a survey and 
thus to facilitate the access to the data. Second one is to allow 
teams working in various places on the same survey in 
openness (as within the framework of international 
collaborations). 
4.7 Consistency verification and data merging 
Finally, XML allows a fast access to the data. Considering this 
characteristic, we will be able in a future work to scan XML 
files and detect some inconsistencies in order to go toward an 
automation of some corrections, such as for example 
redundancy in measurements or bad classification. of the 
objects. 
The problem of data evolution becomes crucial as soon as 
several measurement methods are involved, or when different 
sources are used to establish the final data. We must manage 
data coming from both photogrammetric measurements and 
other more or less direct manual measurements. All of these 
measurements are incomplete and represent the same object at 
different time. 
This work about reversible data fusion and revision, from the 
different data sources existing in this project has been started 
this year thanks to collaboration with Prof. Odile Papini, SIS 
laboratory, University of Toulon, France (Odile Papini, 2001). 
5. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK 
In this new version of Arpenteur we have presented two kinds 
of developments: a DSM tool, fully integrated in the measuring 
process of Arpenteur and a synthetic approach of data fusion in 
SVG in order to merge and clarify the result file after the 
plotting phase. 
Both of these developments are part of the general framework 
and the main objective of the Arpenteur research program: 
establish a link between knowledge and geometry in a simple 
photogrammetric tool able to be freely used by archaeologists. 
As all the data, (photo orientation and results from the plotting 
phase) are stored in a unique XML repository, it will be 
possible, in a near future, to export data in a 3D visualization 
tool (Java3D and X3D) and allow a bidirectional access to non 
graphical data through the 3D interface. The work presented 
here is the first step to a photogrammetry based Information 
System dedicated to archaeology and architecture. 
6. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
The author wishes to thank Luc Long, Chief Curator in 
DRASSM, Marseille, to have lent us two Etruscan amphorae 
from the Grand Ribaud F excavation, used in the 
experimentation presented here.
