Abstract (in English)

Intangible cultural heritage is closely connected to the geographic location. Its creation and development was greatly affected by the geographic environment. However the problem of identifying, recording, studying and preserving the intangible tradition is always based on its relation to place. Two issues are addressed in this paper: Firstly the means and tools for recording, i.e. digitizing, intangible cultural heritage and secondly establishing and exploiting its relation to place, i.e. geographic location. Geoinformatics is a science which -up to now- was used to relate real world objects to their location and to explore their interrelations. An attempt is made here to exploit this modern technological tool in order to establish relations between spirit and place, hence spiritual geoinformatics. Practical examples are employed in order to illustrate how GIS technology is able to provide the means for establishing these links between digitized intangible culture and their geographic location through the proper development of a system for Cultural Heritage Information Management (CHIM).
