Abstract

The paper highlights the need for the digitization of cultural heritage to propose the first national mobile geoinformatics application. Unusually varied cultural heritage in the country that strongly relies on tourism income urges the need to build a new, exportable, interactive tool. In that sense, this article demonstrates the process flow in the online cultural map creation and its further development and sustainability. Being the first on market, loaded with data provided by experts from several fields also brings challenges, which this paper elaborates. Hence, a case-study of the ArcGIS Online services usage in the Montenegrin cultural landscape provides a great overview of the issues in drafting a national register of cultural heritage: from technical obstacles, policies of selection until the interpretation of the data and preservation.
