Résumé en anglais
Intangible cultural heritage is closely connected to thegeographic 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 toplace, i.e. geographic location. Geoinformatics is a science which -up to
now- was used to relate real world objects to their location and toexplore their interrelations. An attempt is made here to exploit this
modern technological tool in order to establish relations between spiritand place, hence spiritual geoinformatics. Practical examples are
employed in order to illustrate how GIS technology is able to providethe 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).
