MayaArch3D: System Architecture, Admin and Security Features, Attributes and Maya Calender Translation Services.

Summary

The MayaArch3D project is developing and investigating a bundle of different services and tools for the integration, analysis and presentation of archaeological datasets.The architecture of this system is designed in a scaleable, flexible and standarized way. Whenever possible, the system uses well known specifications, like OGC-WMS, OGC-WFS and W3DS. For not yet existing standarized service interfaces, the project investigates new suitable approaches. Such interfaces include for instance a Time Service, an Attribute Service and the Geometry Service for single objects. Each component is designed as an exchangeable artefact.All these services are connected to the different data sources: 2D database, 3D database, attribute database and shapefiles. Everything is brought together in the WebGIS Frontend for 2D and 3D visualization and analysis.

To prevent misuse of this collection of spatial referenced datasets (e.g. looting), the project developes a role based security concept, using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Service (LDAP) for managing of different rights and security levels.

The system uses as many open source components as possible.
