The processes of managing (creating, using, storing, exchanging, etc.) information in an organizational setting (in work activities) for a purpose. An information system consists of people (actors), information (contents) and technology (means), linked together by a process directed towards a purpose. Information systems are mediated by various information technologies. An information system is not always a ‘system’ (a systemic entity) but can consist of bits and pieces of processes and technology subsumed in a systemic work activity. Information system is a socio-technical entity that has both human and technological aspects. Learn more in: Researching an Activity-Driven Approach to Information Systems Development

Tool for data management and elaboration. GIS was born for urban and territorial planning, while the first applications to cultural heritage have been made in the field of archeology. The first uses related to architecture were realized by applying the traditional GIS to two-dimensional drawings (plans and sections). Architectural information systems have been developed importing 3D models within GIS or using BIM for historical buildings. Learn more in: On Visual Computing for Architectural Heritage

An organized collection of information that combines as an integral object to form “information systems of information systems” In the context of this chapter, these systems contain much more information than is visible on the surface in that they are observably comprised of the components that were recruited into the blend, but are also comprised of the invisible blends and transformations used in the construction processes themselves, and also of the information necessary to run the blend in reverse.
