Introduction
PhD Architect ( “Digital Information Models - GIS and Graphs - applied in the heritage” - Spanish Extraordinary Doctorate Award). My main research line focuses on methodological and theoretical aspects of digital information modelling (relational database, conceptual and semantic models, HGIS, and Graph) in cultural heritage. In 2019 she worked as Invited Research FCT at IHC Nova Lisboa. Currently, I am a scientific researcher at the Andalusian Historical Heritage Institute (IAPH).

During the last decade, we have witnessed an increased interest in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including the so-called “Historical GIS”, 3D GIS heritage and its subcategory of “SDI for cultural heritage”. Specific literature reviews, gathering and analysing the scientific production for Culture Heritage and GIS based research questions, a...

The railway process (1854-1940) in Andalucia contributed to the formation of a new territorial structure. The railway, built and used, was also a means of production: business networks, flows of raw materials and people, energy technologies that shaped the land and also were shaped by it. In this sense, the railroad, produced and producer of variou...

Industrial heritage, understood as the group of elements related to the work culture and production activities that emerged during the industrial revolution, has been surveyed and documented extensively in Spain in recent decades. This is particularly the case of recent years thanks to the advent of digital tools and systems. In the case of Andalus...

The use of geospatial technologies to identify and document architectural heritage, with the associated benefits for managing information, is already relatively widespread. However, there has been little discussion about the difficulties, decision-making process and problems encountered when using GIS to digitize data, identify and document this he...

Lo digital ha revolucionado los debates sobre los registros gráficos aplicados al conocimiento y difusión del patrimonio arquitectónico. Inundados en muchos casos por la fe absoluta en la exactitud y el rigor de las operaciones de captura métrica y dimensional, y el efecto globalizador de estos recursos, en ocasiones se ignora su repercusión en nue...

In recent decades digitalisation has revolutionised the debate on graphic records applied to the knowledge, conservation and dissemination of architectural heritage, in many cases centred around the intense quest for accuracy and rigour in the capture of metrics and dimensions for their representation. However, sometimes insufficient attention has...

This work analyses the applicability of "linear programming"-a mathematical methodology for modelling, by means of (in)equations, and optimizing systems-to the simulation of past events and uses, as a case study, the allocation of artillery pieces and bombs during the siege of Bilbao in 1874, a key episode of the Third Carlist War (1872-1876) in Sp...

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...

Os estudos sobre a arquitetura gótica tardia, tanto a nível nacional como europeu, cresceram consideravelmente nos últimos tempos. No entanto, foram poucos os que tomaram um foco geohistórico que pudesse refletir a complexidade das variáveis geográficas e da estrutura produtiva ligada a esse fenómeno histórico. Este texto propõe desenhar algumas ca...

During the transition to the Modern Age, the “Reconquista” influenced the territorial consolidation. In this framework, two cities were considered the main “capitals” of the Iberian Peninsula and one of the principal axes for the transfer of materials, people and ideas: Seville and Lisbon. Over the years, many methods and tools of spatial analysis...

The Late Gothic period (fourteenth-sixteenth century) was a phase of transition in Europe – with social, political, economic and cultural changes. Within this framework, Europe was the scene of a significant amount of mobility of artists that in some way materialised the production of architecture without borders: a "Pan-European style" (García Cue...

Question
We want to improve the visibility of modern heritage in the world heritage list. We can see that the platform of UNESCO does not provide any filters or advanced search. What would you suggest in terms of improving the web in order to facilitate/better visibility of modern heritage?
Question
GIS is still a new tool for Architecture Schools in Spain - when we talk about how this tool could be useful before, during and after planning. I am searching for a method and also experiences that have had great results.
Question
I´m working on a project proposal that will develop a historical event-based model and a historical SDI (snapshot model). I´m wondering which metadata standard suits better for both. The study case is in the Iberian Peninsula.
Question
I already have a geodabase of various hertitage elements. I would like to add a fotograph and a plan linked to these elements. 
Question
I would like to work about Siza works in Portugal with my students in a territorial scale. I need the topography, rivers, cities and provinces delimitations in a shapefile format. Thanks
Question
Any research with GIS to predict or view environments patterns that could influence in the election of the shape and material that will be apply in a new building?
I´m trying to research about how GIS and sustainable architecture could work together to build better cities.
Question
In concrete, I need to represent a historical evolution of the construction works in a period of time. So I have a list of architects that were working in distinct buildings in different dates. That is, architect "A" in 1455 was working in building “X” and then in 1457 was working in “Y” building....
