CRS4 develops one of the first multilingual GIS (Geographic Information System) web systems in Italy: SITAI (a GIS for the industrial areas of Sardinia), one of the first multilingual Web GIS in Italy.
The system was developed by Eva Lorrai and Andrea Giacomelli using data from the Industrial Observatory of Sardinia, in PHP, with Jshape applet (no longer easily available) for the online maps and back-end Oracle. The purpose of the project was to support the reuse of industrial lots left empty by the decline of heavy industry, in particular by attracting SMEs.
