Since 2007 the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the World Monuments Fund (WMF) have been working with Jordan’s Department of Antiquities to develop a new programme based on an open-source GIS (geographic information system) web system, which uses Google Earth as a cartographic base. The Middle East Geodatabase for Antiquities (Mega), now consultable online at www.megajordan.org, contains information on around 12,500 archaeological sites.
