    Description: Establishing sustainable and responsible speleotourism development is a major challenge and involves complex activities. Adequate theoretical starting point is the application of geoethical values related to the conservation and protection of the caves to be used for touristic purposes. Positive and negative cases of human behaviors towards speleological geoheritage are discussed, in order to highlight what should be done in cave management to avoid malpractices and on what elements could be founded adequate strategies aimed at promoting sustainable speleotourism. This is important to tourism management organizations involved in the promotion of caves and in creating economic opportunities for local populations, while respecting cave ecosystems. Modern cave management must be focused on the protection of the cave ecosystems, finding ways to achieve at the same time an economic development of local communities. But this approach needs the adoption of a geoethical framework of values to be shared by all stakeholders involved so that successful cooperation can be achieved despite differences in interests and expectations. The aim of this paper is to raise the awareness about the need to apply the values of geoethics to speleotourism, stimulating new fields of discussion within the scientific and technical communities involved in studies and activities related to geotourism and geoheritage. The possibilities of developing new ways to manage caves, in order to promote a sustainable socio-economic development of local communities, have to be balanced with the protection of natural environments as much as possible. The proposed theoretical frameworks have the goal to increase the discussion on the best ways of connecting speleotourism to sustainable and responsible cave management, presenting two case studies, and pointing out potential solutions.

    Description: En el contexto de la reactivación del Centro Colombiano de Datos e Información Oceanográfica, los historiadores buscaron definir un enfoque de archivística que constituyera un método para la búsqueda científica (también llamada ‘arqueología’ en el argot del manejo de datos oceanográficos internacional) y la recuperación de la memoria histórica de la información oceanográfica del Pacífico colombiano, y al mismo tiempo, satisfacer las necesidades de los investigadores de acceder a datos e información histórica oceanográfica que permitirán contar con una base teórica para realizar estudios de diferente tipo, entre otros, de predicción climática; modelación del oleaje, de corrientes y de fenómenos naturales como El Niño-Oscilación del Sur, que afectan las costas del Pacífico. Se trata de un esfuerzo interdisciplinario realizado a partir de la identificación de los antecedentes y experiencias que instituciones de investigación marina en Colombia y centros de datos oceanográficos de otros países, tanto a lo largo del continente americano como del europeo, han adelantado en las últimas décadas para salvaguardar la historia del océano, costas y áreas insulares. La definición de esta metodología consideró el marco conceptual de la recuperación de datos e información oceanográfica, la identificación de las fuentes documentales e información marina en archivos y bibliotecas, las medidas de conservación documental que incluyen la restauración, digitalización de documentos y normalización de metadatos recuperados, teniendo en cuenta el estándar recomendado por el programa Internacional de Intercambio de Datos e Información Oceanográfica.
    Description: In the context of the reactivation of Colombian Oceanographic Data Center, some historians looked for to define an approach to archival method for scientific search (also call archaeology into the oceanographic data management community) and rescue the historical memory of Colombian Pacific oceanographic information, and at the same time, to satisfy the researchers requirements to get historical oceanographic data and information that will allow them to obtain a theoretical base to make different type of studies, like climatic prediction, wave and currents modeling, and investigation about naturals phenomena like El Nino Southern Oscillation that it affects the Colombian Pacific coast. This work is an interdisciplinary effort made from the identification of the antecedents of Colombian marine research institutes and national oceanographic data centres of other countries, as much throughout the American continent as of the European, which have had experience in safeguard the history of the ocean, coasts and insulars areas in the last decades. The definition of this methodology considered the conceptual framework of the oceanographic information and data rescue, the identification of the documentary sources and marine information available into archives and libraries, the measures of documentary conservation that include restoration, digitalization of documents and the normalization of metadata recovered according to the standard recommended by the International Oceanographic Data and Information program.
