Abstract :
This paper presents an ongoing research on the development of a WebGIS tool, based on a formal knowledge representation, able to trace the spatio-temporal paths of Cypriot Byzantine icons. Many were looted in the past, lost and some recently repatriated. The aim of the research presented below is to develop a system that would present online, for the museum visitors and scholars interested in such artifacts, the diachronic narrative of their lives and conservation.
