The aim is to reduce costs by using Free Software -if possible, Open Source software, for the management and visualization of heritage.

Moreover, we will make the adaptations and developments required for this software to be used for the management and visualization of the Medieval and Modern Heritage of Madrid (Spain).General termsLowCostHeritageData ManagementSpatial Database.
