The study resorted to lexicographical techniques as a concrete methodology during the phase of compiling materials, making possible the storage, analysis and evaluation of the information in all written documents, in order to construct a corpus of terms for this festival. Likewise, a knowledge management system was designed according to the recommendations for safeguarding data given by UNESCO. In addition, more than 800 terms related to Barranquilla's Carnival were identified using a digital lexicographical card designed for this purpose. Amethodology was consolidated for the safeguard and a model for managing the Immaterial Cultural Heritage was created.  a10121587 (ISSN)
