Sažetak
The management and presentation of cultural heritage over a given region requires a dedicated database which can store all relevant information (location, text, photography, 3D models, animations etc.) and an intuitive way of accessing this information (searching via different criteria such as geo- location, time-frame, type of find, state of preservation, etc.). We decided to test a recently available open source platform, Arches 3.0, to construct a database of all known logboats and other early watercraft in the country of Slovenia: the Early Watercraft Database. The software platforms of existing inventories are mostly proprietary, expensive to maintain and difficult to interconnect and upgrade to new requirements. Existing database inventories are therefore difficult to combine and this makes the study of early watercraft finds on a global scale, independent of modern state boundaries, more difficult. By contrast, information stored in applications developed on the Arches platform can be easily merged. The Early Watercraft Database application demonstrates the ability of the Arches platform to be employed for a wide range of applications ; it can be used for small-scale solutions but it can also be extended to accommodate large-scale (global) inventory requirements. The Arches open source heritage inventory and management system is sponsored by the Getty Conservation Institute and the World Monuments Fund.
