E-heritage project of Valencian Catalogues

Abstract

The complexity by the spread of heritage protection plans justifies the need to implant ICT to handle the extensive documentation belonging to heritage catalogues, which are the base of a good work of preservation and renovation for new activities in buildings. The disconnected information obtained from several cataloguing works in the Valencian Community, makes evident the great advance that would be to do a digital data base that collected updated technical and legal information of all catalogued buildings. This objective sustains SIPACV: “Valencian e-Heritage Project”, an information system of Valencian Architectural Heritage, with incorporation of a Geographical Information System (GIS), and buildings cartographic reference, added to technical and legal information index cards; all of this focused to the management of heritage renovation.
