This study discusses the methodology used in The Digital model of Andalusia's Late Gothic Heritage project to develop new models of heritage interpretation through the application of GIS and Graph visualization to provide new perspectives of Andalusia's heritage by considering social, political, economic and cultural evolutions. Given the special period context considered, late 15th and early 16th centuries, the project used a variety of sources to relate heterogeneous historical data on different subjects in order to create a historical spatial database and to respond questions such as: How was the construction process in Andalusia between 1433 and 1560? What period and region had more constructive activity? How did the opening of the Andalusia´s eastern border modify the dynamism of the territory? What features are more common in each time period? What professionals have worked together on a building or quarry? Is this reflected in the architectural language produced?.

Central to the entire discipline of heritage restoration and conservation is the concept of information management. Nevertheless, traditionally, conservation and restoration has been a poorly documented discipline, which has led not only to a lack of standardization and awareness about the processes carried out in the past, but also poses problems both when new restoration works are necessary and for the preventive conservation of the elements of heritage. This study sets out to propose a conceptual framework to explore the relationship between conservation of heritage and information management on the basis of case studies; in particular: a spatial data infrastructure (SDI) of a regional government concerning an endangered plant (wild grapevine) with an important potential for cultural and touristic uses in a wine-making region; an open data guide—the Digital Guide of Andalusian Cultural Heritage; a university repository connected to Europeana, which contains reports and outcomes of projects of geometric documentation of elements of heritage; a repository of an organization in charge of the protection and care of the heritage; and finally, two examples of the use of heritage building information models (HBIM) in complex monuments. After discussing the characteristics of each case, this paper concludes that, although the availability of information and tools is growing, further progress is still necessary concerning the interoperability, outreach and reuse of the different solution

The high density of historic rammed earth military samples in the Iberian Peninsula is mainly due to Almoravid and Almohad presence during the 11th and 13th centuries. The aim of this paper is to provide a methodological framework that enables the assessment of these sites, using the city walls of Seville as a case study. Hence, multi-scale and multidisciplinary approaches have been developed employing methodologies based on the use of CAD GIS-BIM digital models, conceived as a Digital Cartographic Management (DCM) protocol. This research will contribute to a better knowledge of this medieval heritage that will enable the development of future intervention criteria and the creation of preventive conservation strategies. The scientific knowledge achieved will also contribute to the regulation and standardization of the restoration of monuments built with rammed earth. Conservation and repair of historic rammed earth sites should only be undertaken if there is a good understanding of the consequences of any intervention technique.
