The level of information security of the cultural heritage of the region has a direct impact on the spatial development of the territory. Most often this is expressed in the quantity and quality of scientific research in this area, measures to protect and popularize the cultural heritage of the region, and, as a result, the level of development of educational tourism in this area. The widespread accessibility of the Internet in our country, as well as the annual enormous increase in the number of mobile Internet users, makes it possible to disseminate a large amount of heterogeneous information as quickly and efficiently as possible. Therefore, web technologies are rationally applied to increase the level of information security of cultural heritage objects. Geospatial information perceived by the user preferably in a graphical form, for example, using interactive maps and web-GIS. To create them, you need to integrate web technologies and geoinformation mapping. The article presents a study of the advantages and disadvantages of using web technologies in cartography. In the process of research, a technology for creating web GIS of cultural heritage objects was developed, based on the integration of web technologies and geoinformation mapping. The article describes in detail the main stages and features of creating such geoinformation products, as well as the requirements for them. A prototype of the web GIS “Cultural heritage of the Novosibirsk region” has been developed.it can be used by any person for educational purposes, as well as by territorial bodies of protection of cultural heritage objects, local governments, construction organizations, road enterprises, land use and subsoil use enterprises, educational and scientific organizations, as well as tour operators and other economic entities.

The article considers the role of geoinformation technologies in the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage. The urgency of the creation of the reference-cartographic system “Cultural Heritage of the Novosibirsk Region” is proved. The developed requirements for reference-cartographic GIS, its content and structure are given. A technological scheme for creating reference-cartographic GIS objects of cultural heritage is proposed. A developed system of symbols and main results of the study are presented.

The authors discuss the results of working at the development of methods for creating GIS of cultural heritage. A brief analysis of modern research in the field of geoinformation cultural heritage mapping had been made befor. The existing methods of creation GIS of cultural heritage objects basing upon the analysis of the performed experimental works are studied. The basic requirements to the methodology of GIS creation of cultural heritage objects are defined. The developed technique of creating GIS for cultural heritage objects on the basis of HTML, CSS and JavaScript-technologies is presented. In the course of the study, a prototype of the geographic information system “Cultural heritage of Novosibirsk region” was developed, it can be used by anyone for educational purposes, as well as by territorial agencies of cultural heritage protection, local governments, construction organizations, road enterprises, land use and subsoil use enterprises, educational and scientific organizations, as well as tour operators and other economic entities.

The article examines the current trends of the development of mapping of cultural heritage objects. The purpose of the study is to identify these trends in the development of mapping of cultural heritage objects. The analysis of modern domestic and foreign approaches in the field of mapping cultural her-itage objects is given, on the basis of which modern requirements for the functionality and content of the cartographic web service of cultural heritage are determined. The main problems that arise when mapping cultural heritage objects are identified, and options for their solutions are proposed. The con-clusion about the latest trends in the field of mapping cultural heritage objects, such as the use of crowdsourcing platforms for collecting information about cultural heritage objects; the creation of in-teractive cartographic web services of cultural heritage objects placed in free access on the Internet; the addition of attribute information about objects with multimedia materials; the introduction of virtu-al and augmented reality capabilities is made.
