摘要

This paper summarizes the use of a GIS-platform as a platform for cultural heritage management of sites, buildings and monuments in Norway. The purpose of this paper is to describe the database system for managing cultural heritage monuments and sites. The system uses both database and GIS functionality, and it aims to integrate all data relating to immovable sites and monuments that are in some way protected by the Cultural Heritage Act.. GIS functions and the need for standards will be focussed in the paper. The public version of the database will also be described.
