La Eurorregión Galicia-Norte de Portugal cuenta con una importante riqueza patrimonial material e inmaterial de gran potencial como elemento de desarrollo territorial y atracción turística. Sin embargo, en muchos casos este patrimonio no es suficientemente conocido y/o valorado por las comunidades locales o los visitantes. Esta situación podría estar motivada por la ausencia de iniciativas que permitan un mayor conocimiento de su historia, características o ubicación. En este contexto surge el proyecto GEOARPAD como acción conjunta entre instituciones gallegas y portuguesas integrada en el programa INTERREG V-A España-Portugal 2014-2020. Su objetivo es potenciar la identificación, clasificación, protección y difusión del patrimonio en el ámbito eurorregional, implementando un sistema de información geoespacial que siga el modelo de una Infraestructura de Datos Especiales (IDE) y sea participativo, accesible e interoperable: el Sistema de Información Patrimonial de la Eurorregión Galicia-Norte de Portugal. Este artículo presenta los resultados obtenidos durante la fase inicial de desarrollo del Sistema. Por una parte, se describen los procesos metodológicos llevados a cabo para la armonización semántica y geográfica de la cartografía de Galicia y la región Norte de Portugal, que dan lugar a un mapa armonizado de la Eurorregión. Por otra parte, se muestra el resultado de la georreferenciación de los bienes patrimoniales gallegos y portugueses, lo cual constituye la base del Sistema de Información Patrimonial de la Eurorregión.

One of the pillars of the technological revolution that began in the seventies was the development of the Internet. This network has evolved in such a way that it now forms a complex structure that radically changed the social and economic dynamics at the end of century XX. Nowadays, new technologies allow anything from communication and information exchange to the realization of complex financial transactions, all from anywhere in the world and almost instantaneously. In spite of the widespread use of the Internet, there are still territories and inhabitants, mostly emplaced in remote rural areas, who live outside of this technological revolution. By contrast, urban areas enjoy a privileged position in the dissemination of the information society by concentrating most of the telecommunications infrastructure and monopolize the most qualified people. But there are many disparities in terms of diffusion of new technologies and these will transfer, in turn, to the enterprise sector which is the subject of this research. The differences in the use of new technologies and more specifically the use of advanced services on the Internet are related to the sector where the population is employed and its level of training. One of the advanced services offered by the Network is teleworking. Nowadays there are companies that offer their employees the opportunity to develop their professional activities outside their headquarters, using their homes as an alternative or call centers enabled with computers and Internet access. The purpose of this research is the study of the consumption of Internet advanced services by companies in the metropolitan area of Madrid, analyzing the spread of telework in more detail,a potential offered by new technologies and which may modify the current pattern of mobility in the main urban areas because it is from here where big companies are guiding the global economy.
