Thus, it is important to shed light on any given historic building\u2019s chronological information by means of restitution, that is, the descriptions of different (re)compositions of a building for different historical states. However, the representation of information beyond the geometric, spatial, and physical characteristics of a historic building carries a crucial importance in the holistic understanding of historical changes. This requirement consists of representation, archival, assessment, and management aspects. Nevertheless, covering all these aspects is still quite challenging. Thus, three-dimensional (3D) visualization in digital platforms is considered, which indeed seems to be the most desirable way today. This article proposes a methodology through adopting an approach based on the Geographical Information System (GIS) and further develops a digital \u201ccontainer\u201d as a 3D digital model for the archiving of a building\u2019s chronological information. This does not only cover the geometric and spatial aspects, but also the historical resources and their reliability. The paper concludes that the developed prototype may lessen the future investigation effort of heritage specialists by making the chronological information of a historical building more integrated and coherent, through increased readability, accessibility, and visibility. This, in turn, supports the planning of restoration projects, as well as provides a static and comprehensive archive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mti2020026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,14]],"date-time":"2018-05-14T02:57:20Z","timestamp":1526266640000},"page":"26","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Behind the 3D Scene: A GIS Approach for Managing the Chronological Information of Historic Buildings"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6893-5214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gamze","family":"Saygi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Dokuz Eyl\u00fcl University (DEU), 35160 \u0130zmir, Turkey"},{"name":"Mod\u00e8les et simulations pour l\u2019Architecture et le Patrimoine (UMR 3495 CNRS\/MCC MAP), The National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), 13402 Marseille CEDEX 20, France"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2611-4650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giorgio","family":"Agugiaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Energy, Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), 1210 Wien, Austria"}]},{"given":"Mine","family":"Hamamcioglu-Turan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Architectural Restoration, Izmir Institute of Technology (IYTE), 35430 Izmir, Turkey"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Letellier, R.
