Abstract

In this chapter, we highlight the difference between a geodatabase and a series of GIS layers stored in a file system. After a short introduction on some database basics, we introduce the spatial component in a relational database structure. In order to clarify the explained concepts, some real cases are illustrated. They are all connected to the management of cultural heritage (ancient coins cataloging and management) with relational databases and GIS tools.
