It was possible to verify that the development of the web application allows to offer a distributed administration of the information to the actors with responsibilities and, at the same time, offer it to the general public for consultation. The implementation of a web system for information management would provide answers to current social and technological needs, thus achieving tangible and intangible benefits.
