  • Cultural Heritage Information Management Systems (CHIMS) have been developed in order to achieve the georeferenceof the items in the Cultural Heritage database. Eleutherna in Crete is one of the most significant archaeological sites inGreece, with. many buildings constructed and destroyed during its long life. Hence, it is easily understandable that thisvast archaeological site is complicated and difficult to understand, even by experts. In this paper the development of aCultural Heritage Management System, called ARCHAEOsystem, is described and analyzed. The system has asgeographic base a recent orthophoto of the area and for its design several parameters were taken into account. Theconceptual design of the data base with the Entity-Relational (E-R) model preceded the development of this objectoriented system. This E-R model is described and evaluated for its operability. After the initial experimental operation ofthe system, eventual practical problems will be identified and confronted. Finally, presentation of future prospects isbeing attempted and eventual uses of such a system are proposed.
