The use of cartographic products in the development of national registers of cultural heritage

Goal. The goal of this paper is to consider the European and Ukrainian experience of using cartographic products in the development of national registers of the material cultural heritage (CH). Also, to identify the approach most appropriate for Ukraine. Methodology. It was previously proved that the current, feasible and “correct” model of the development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) of Ukraine should be product-process. This model is used in the analysis of European and Ukrainian experience. Results. Two approaches to the organization of such national registers have been set. The first can be called classical, according to which the registers must correspond to the product model of the development of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). The second can be called non-classical, because the created registers must correspond to the process and more advanced models of SDI development. Scientific novelty. It has been proved for the first time that the future electronic State Register of the material CH of Ukraine must correspond to the product-process model of NSDI. Practical value. The obtained results can be used in the development of a real electronic State Register of the material CH of Ukraine. They are especially important for concept development of the future system.
