Why is it important?
This article advances digital applications for architectural heritage by employing technologies such as Building Information Modeling integrated with Geographic Information Systems, aiming not only to document and promote heritage but also to make related data readily accessible through platforms such as a Web GIS. Highlighting the challenges from data collection to online dissemination underscores the practical relevance of the study, demonstrating how integrated digital tools can enhance heritage management, facilitate research and public access, and support preservation and planning efforts.
Perspectives
This publication holds significant academic and practical potential. By exploring the integration of BIM and GIS for architectural heritage and making data accessible via Web GIS, it contributes to an emerging field, offering practical solutions and highlighting real challenges. The study demonstrates technological innovation and practical applicability, benefiting both researchers and heritage managers. It also identifies obstacles in data collection, processing, and dissemination, providing valuable guidance for future projects. Potential future developments include the creation of interactive 3D models or Digital Twins for real-time monitoring, integration with IoT sensors for automatic updates on heritage conditions, development of public or educational portals, and the establishment of standardized methodologies for BIM-GIS integration across diverse heritage contexts.
