Abstract
This paper is aimed at demonstrating the need of training material for the design and deployment of cultural heritage resource information systems in management and protection. Heritage information plays an essential role in the adequate preparation, implementation and monitoring of conservation strategies. Good decisions in conservation are based on the information available and, in this sense, the use of information systems are needed for providing timely and relevant collection, storage, management and presentation of cultural heritage.
