"A document management system (DcMS) for the efficient organization and visualization of the data related to conservation projects in cultural heritage buildings applied to a case study is presented. The objective of the system is to allow for the interchange of information between different specialists, to prevent the loss of data through time and to promote technical awareness of general public," scientists in Mexico report.
"For this purpose, a database for the management of the information involved in the works carried out in the Monastery of Santa Maria de Salzedas (Portugal) was created. The newly developed system collects the information about the Monastery produced in a period of 5 years by different specialists (architects, engineers, geologists, physicists, and material scientists). The system is fully web based and includes a back-end for easy uploading of information and a front-end for automatic visualization and downloading of the information," wrote P.B. Lourenco and colleagues, National Autonomous University.
The researchers concluded: "Both back- and front-end are accessible via an Internet connection."
Lourenco and colleagues published their study in International Journal of Architectural Heritage (A Document Management System for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage Buildings. International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2011;5(1):101-121).
