The Cultural Information System of Argentina (www.sinca.gob.ar) operates under the authority of Ministry of Culture. Its digital cartographic interactive component, called “Mapa cultural”, has 9 thematic layers, one of them being “Patrimonio Material” (tangible heritage). Current situation: a) all levels of implementation, from local to national, b) GIS technology included within the national information infrastructure, c) GIS applications publicly available, d) main fields of application: heritage management, archaeology, education, Latin American international support.
