Abstract

This research analyzes and catalogs the thousands of works rescued and deposited in safe places by the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War and checks the destination of these works during the postwar period under the Franco regime. A web site with a narrative and participative database, open and accessible, that would allow analysis, collaboration from other investigators and interested people was created. The objective of this site is to establish the confluence between historic and heritage-oriented inquiry and collaborative and open management to transmit to society the results of a pending investigation. The possibilities offered by the 2.0 semantic web and of artificial intelligence are taken advantage of in order to follow the destinations of the works. Free software is always used, with added algorithms and applications necessary for their optimization. These inputs will also become part of the public domain.
