“…A problem arises when information about the heritage elements is not thorough or does not appear to be sufficiently related to its environment. Consequently, a badly designed data model makes research and conservation projects difficult [9].…”

“…In addition, they are not updated, which leads to stagnant and fixed information. From the point of view of the effectiveness and sustainability of these integrated information systems over time in the field of heritage, the panorama is, on one hand, confused by the diversity of procedures employed [9]. These frequently lack the necessary methodological reflection and alignment with the objectives of a true global cultural management project [10,11], so fail to generate or disseminate real knowledge.…”

Modern science is going through a period of important reflection on the role of different agents and multiple disciplines in the management and safeguarding of architectural heritage. This new focus generates a greater amount and diversity of information, so the implementation of a unifying tool in the framework of digital information models would mean a better knowledge of cultural heritage as well as aiding its safeguarding and protection. In addition, it must be taken into account that, for the correct management of information in its broadest dimension, this tool must make it possible to relate alphanumeric data about an item of heritage to its spatial location. In this sense, this article proposes a Heritage Information System (HIS)—understood as a digital knowledge tool—that consists of a relational database and a map manager with Geographic Information System (GIS) technology (a geodatabase). The methodology suggested here sets out the steps that make up the HIS, so that the system can be applied to other geographical elements or realities. For this reason, a study was made of “La Cultura del Agua” in Valverde de Burguillos (Spain), a heritage ensemble that consists of rural architecture and dispersed preindustrial elements, which are currently at risk. The HIS seeks to develop a more complete identification of these elements (individually and as a system) and a justified argument for their being given value and great visibility. This new approach encourages sustainable development in terms of efficiency and effectiveness for the analysis, diagnosis, and reactivation of cultural heritage, always placing importance on the balance of social participation with the territory in which the system is applied, and with global society.

“…On the basis of several studies carried out on cultural landscapes in a spatial-planning perspective, [51] discusses the potential and limits of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for supporting the territorialization of multidisciplinary landscape analysis for the management of a site of the UNESCO world heritage list, and proposes an approach for a GIS responding to landscape-oriented studies. Two similar approaches that propose a 3D representation of cultural objects, in order to facilitate researchers in determining both the relationships between data and the spatial relationships between cultural information, are presented in [31,52].…”

Advancements in cultural informatics have significantly influenced the way we perceive, analyze, communicate and understand culture. New data sources, such as social media, digitized cultural content, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, have allowed us to enrich and customize the cultural experience, but at the same time have created an avalanche of new data that needs to be stored and appropriately managed in order to be of value. Although data management plays a central role in driving forward the cultural heritage domain, the solutions applied so far are fragmented, physically distributed, require specialized IT knowledge to deploy, and entail significant IT experience to operate even for trivial tasks. In this work, we present Hydria, an online data lake that allows users without any IT background to harvest, store, organize, analyze and share heterogeneous, multi-faceted cultural heritage data. Hydria provides a zero-administration, zero-cost, integrated framework that enables researchers, museum curators and other stakeholders within the cultural heritage domain to easily (i) deploy data acquisition services (like social media scrapers, focused web crawlers, dataset imports, questionnaire forms), (ii) design and manage versatile customizable data stores, (iii) share whole datasets or horizontal/vertical data shards with other stakeholders, (iv) search, filter and analyze data via an expressive yet simple-to-use graphical query engine and visualization tools, and (v) perform user management and access control operations on the stored data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first solution in the literature that focuses on collecting, managing, analyzing, and sharing diverse, multi-faceted data in the cultural heritage domain and targets users without an IT background.

“…New technological advances have contributed to the fact that research methodologies based on bibliographic consultation, as well as on maps and cartography, official archives, etc., are evolving towards a more streamlined system based on computer advances and data availability. This progression allows us to delve into the different dimensions of the information, establishing, for example, relationships or patterns that would otherwise be very difficult to identify [13,41,42].…”

“…These are used to work on the development of a diagnosis from three very different approaches. Firstly, Geographic Information Systems have been employed as management tools [13][14][15]. In the section devoted to findings and discussion, a patrimonial map is drawn up of the essential attributes to take into account the shaping of sustainable development strategies within a rural environment, showing how the development of such a holistic approach can provide the keys to the day-to-day work on strengthening local culture vis-à-vis prevailing globalisation.…”

The pace at which cities grow and its impact on heritage management has meant that those heritage assets not linked to the traditionally monumental have been directly doomed to oblivion. The purpose of this article is to present a research methodology backed up by multidisciplinarity and stakeholders’ diversity that allows us to highlight the values and singular aspects of this rural heritage. To achieve this, a methodology was devised that is divided into three phases: mapping of human, cultural, and natural resources based on studies undertaken by the Public Sector Administration, experts, and the citizens themselves. The second phase involved the establishment of what to protect amongst all the stakeholders involved. Finally, the third stage entails integration of the information within an urban development framework. In order to work on the development of a diagnosis from three highly different approaches, Geographic Information Systems was used as information management tools, as a means of contrasting it and performing a comprehensive analysis of the same. The development of such a holistic approach provided a patrimonial map of essential resources in the municipality to be taken into account to shape sustainable development strategies inherent to a rural environment of low density. The lack of this comprehensive approach when managing rural heritage in which citizens take on centre stage in decision-making processes unearths two fundamental issues: firstly, the ascertainment of the existence of cultural heritage hitherto abandoned, alongside the need to endow urban governance powers to the public administration, as it falls to them to spearhead this shift in public management.
