CHiSEL allows information layers to be directly visualized on the artefact surface. In this way, the spatial distribution of data provides experts with additional information to improve data analysis.
By combining two or more layers, information attributes are clearer exposed to the expert who may now discover new relationships among them.
Additionally, some parameters, including information colour mapping, alpha blending, data filtering, or SQL queries, could be configured to determine how each layer should be visualized.

The layer structure has been THE solution to tag overlapping epigraphic phenomenom without separating the text from its immediate context. That is huge, great, thank you so much for all epigraphers in the world.
