Dedicated to heterogeneous data visualization, the tool box is designed for the end user, developed with the GeoTools package, an open source Java library for 2D cartographic visualization, JavaView and VRML for the 3D visualization and XML technology (XML schema, X Path and X-Query) in connection with SQL compliant software as MySQL for database access and querying. We present an initial application on the Constantine historical center developed in the framework of an international project with partners from Algeria, Italy and France. After a presentation of the main objectives of the project we’ll discuss the tools used, the Internet accessibility and the flexibility of the proposed system.} }
