ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE ON GIS SUPPORT. KNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATION
Abstract
There are so many literary and graphic resources available on the network that is impossible to get in touch with all of them. The free access to the computer sources, disseminated in different places and supports, facilitates an increasingly amount of information. This huge quantity of stuff does not correspond to its accuracy or precision. In reference to the graphic documentation of the architectonic heritage, something similar occurs. Nowadays we can have photographs or plans of any corner in the world, so we could rebuild in 3D the most visited highlights in our planet. This fact has been facilitated by the IT (Information Technologies), not only in the data collection by means of cameras or other devices as phones or tablets, but in its dissemination on the internet by means of webs and blogs. Two different lacks can also be found. On one hand, the source treatment from the data collection to the exhibition and on the other hand, its hierarchy or classification, so quality information can be reached. Both aims are proposed in this work. On one side, a systematic treatment of the documentation, being transferred to a unified database. On the other side, the exhibition, by means of a data basis in GIS support. As a sample the experience started in Caceres, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, is shown. Achieving this objective was a fact, thanks to adding efforts, having arguments and agreements, which was clearly difficult to get.
