Galicia has a long tradition of excavation of Iron Age sites from the end of the nineteenth century. Despite the large quantity of research, the exchange of generated data continues to be opaque and rarely expressed in interoperable formats. As such, its use does not usually result in increasing scientific or professional quality. In this text a biography of excavations of the Castro Culture is presented based on the data provided in the literature, the only source that exists, while also highlighting the need to establish a debate on the exchange of data in standard formats with public access.
