The Argentinian railway is going through a moment of modernization, which is why it is essential to have a set of precise data about its network. The diversity of sources merits the development of an objective criteria on the collection of that information. Thus, the use of GIS is presented as a suitable tool to accompany this process, providing great advantages for planning. This article proposes a methodology for information management and concludes with the pertinence of homologating and establishing a unifying criterion of data when designing a GIS design.

La interoperabilidad de un sistema de información unificado desafía el manejo de datos y su comunicación en un mismo formato. El ferrocarril argentino transita un momento de modernización, por lo cual es esencial disponer de un conjunto de datos precisos sobre su red. La variedad y dispersión de fuentes amerita el desarrollo de un criterio objetivo sobre la recolección de esa información. Por ello, el uso de los SIG se presenta como una herramienta adecuada para acompañar tal proceso, brindando grandes ventajas a la planificación. Este artículo propone una metodología para el manejo de la información y concluye sobre la pertinencia de homologar y establecer un criterio unificador de los datos al diseñar un SIG. El trabajo se compone de dos secciones: una de ellas trata sobre las fuentes sustanciales para un trabajo con SIG sobre ferrocarriles y la otra presenta el modelo de acción propuesto por los autores.
