As a follow up of the last CAA in this session we would like to bring together scientists working on different issues of spatial data visualization and management in archaeological data bases. This comprises the technical prerequisites of DB-systems such as interface solutions that pass geographic, geodetic, and 3D data to visualization tools (e.g. Postgis) as well as tools and interfaces that allow the visualization of these data like web based portrayal services, GIS systems, etc.. On the other hand we want to discuss visualization issues related to the data formats and metadata like, vector, raster and voxel formats and geographic data projections. Especially we will focus on open source solutions and would like to invite presentatiuons on application examples in order to give an overview on state of the art solutions. Finally, we will also discuss how user requirements can be already considered in the design of these systems to guarantee sustainability and acceptability of the targeted user.
