One of the main objectives of this study was visualizing the 
photo texture in GIS environment. However, only the texture 
parts of the building can be seen in 3D in ArcView. For this 
reason photo texture could not be used in a structure 
representation aim. It is also possible to make miscellaneous 
queries over joined layers (Fig. 4).

5.3. The Graphic and Attribute Databases Integration 
We use two different kinds of databases: first one, which 
includes in text information, is attribute data and the second 
one, which has geometrical information, is graphical data. The 
first database is handled with Arcview 3.2, which is a GIS 
software by ESRI, and the second database is generated from 
the photogrametric digital system (PhotoModeler). Both 
databases are linked and managed together by the GIS software 
ArcView 3.2, creating the AIS. 
To make a relationship between graphic and attribute data, 
database knowledge or an attribute data belong to the related 
object is needed. For attribute data that should be in the AIS, a 
content design has been done and filled in MS Excel in DBF 
(Data Base Format) file format. The following table shows the 
integration of the graphic and attribute data (Table 1). In this 
project, although only 3D texture model has been generated as 
graphical data, all the components of the attribute data have 
been used. It can be added the other parts of the graphical data. 
Besides, in any time the users can update all data.

6. CONCLUSION 
In this study, design and application of an architectural 
information system has been realized in a simple sense. The 
basic components of the system are digital photogrammetry and 
GIS. An integration between the 3D model of object generated 
from photogrammetric techniques and attribute data concerning 
the same model of object has been provided. With this 
integration, the data will be continually updated, analyzed and 
queried. Aspect of the documentation, registration and 
observation of historical objects, two techniques used is nicely 
proportioned. The results of the study confirm that the 
management and observation of the historical buildings with 
proposed AIS was done very easily and effectively. 
7. FUTURE LINES 
The project designed for AIS as a proto-type will be extended 
on the basis of city or country. As mentioned above, one of our 
first objectives was to visualize of the 3D photo texture in GIS, 
but it was not provided completely. Afterwards, we will focus 
on solving this problem and add the project other additional 
information.
