ABSTRACT
The MonArch Digital Archiving System is a metadata repository that can be used for the spatial capture, semantical tagging, management and storage of digital documents. It has been successfully applied to the digital documentation of built heritage and archaeological sites as well as to archiving and securing digitized archivals such as pictures and maps.
In contrast to document management systems, the MonArch Digital Archiving System uses semantical technologies to improve content descriptions. Furthermore, GIS functionalities and navigation maps allow for geo-referencing documents and thus visually locating and selecting the archived content. Together, the semantical and spatial markups used throughout the archive allow for powerful queries that are fully adaptable to the needs of a wide variety of scenarios.
This paper gives an overview of the ideas underneath the MonArch Digital Archiving System as well as its functions and features.

Monarch: software with many library applications
Library management systems are generally poor in analysing and reporting the data they contain. In a library context, such analyses are most easily managed in a PC operating system environment, because of the relative ease of learning and maintenance. ...
