Acceso libre a la información del ordenamiento territorial en Colombia: Caso de estudio puesta en marcha del geoportal Colombia OT, con información normativa, técnica y cartográfica

Abstract

This degree work proposes a theoretical analysis around the concept of geoportal and exposes the technical processes of information categorization carried out for the development of Colombia OT, the most ambitious technological project in terms of Territorial Planning in Colombia carried out by the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC). Geoportals are the historical result of the desire to keep geographic information correctly stored and organized for later deployment. National and international examples show the paradigmatic transformation in archival matters that has been taking place in entities (mostly governmental) that generate, process and provide geographic information. Colombia OT was not only thought of as a geoportal, but also as a repository on which those national territorial planning guidelines are stored, along with the products resulting from the territorial management carried out by subnational territorial entities, taking into account variables such as interoperability, regulations and diversity of formats. Colombia OT aims to be a technological solution based on the advancement of information technologies and the principle of participation established by territorial planning in Colombia.
