This article describes the development of a database management system (DBMS), to use as the basis for a dynamic spatial model or historical geographic information system (HGIS), and an abstract-relational model or dynamic graph model to allow historians and architects to visualise and analyse the complexity of built heritage on a territorial scale. Reutilisation, interoperability, standard terminology and usability were all taken into account in the development of the models. The database was developed within the framework of the International Late Gothic Network and involved an interdisciplinary team of architects, historians, geographers and computer scientists to ensure maximum adaptability of the methodology to other case studies. The result is a DBMS, a GIS model and a graph model, which we hope will provide useful tools for understanding, analysing and disseminating heritage.
