01 — The vision
01 / The challenge

Today, information is everywhere.
Knowledge is nowhere.

Cultural data lives in disconnected archives, surveys, documents, models and media. The challenge is not only digitisation. It is turning fragmented information into usable knowledge.

The core idea

Not another archive.

A digital infrastructure for cultural heritage.

Every survey, model, document and media source becomes part of one governed Digital Cultural Asset: coherent, validated, reusable and ready to power services.

From real heritage

Real places.
Living digital assets.

DCIP begins with places that exist, carry history and require care. Technology is the connective layer — never the subject by itself.

One source of truth

One Digital Twin.
Five ways to experience it.

One governed data layer. Five interfaces designed around what each person actually needs to do.

TR / MODE

Explore. Understand. Remember.

A guided, multilingual journey through place, time and story — before, during and after the visit.

  • Personalised routes
  • AR layers
  • Accessible storytelling

Why it works

Same Digital Twin.
Different interfaces.
Different value.

DCIP does not duplicate five products. It governs one Digital Cultural Asset and creates purpose-built experience layers on top.

Let's build it

What we need
to build.

A modular product blueprint. Clear enough to start. Open enough for its builders to shape the final technology.

Asset lifecycle

From acquisition to
living Digital Twin.

DCIP is a workflow platform, not just a viewer. Cultural Assets remain traceable, updateable and useful over time.

Not decorative software. Every element connects a real asset, action or responsibility.

AI ↗
Where you can contribute

Different disciplines.
One shared product.

Frontend

Shape clear, accessible experiences.

Backend

Orchestrate assets, users and workflows.

Artificial Intelligence

Connect questions to trusted knowledge.

3D Viewer

Render complex models with purpose.

GIS / Maps

Put every asset in spatial context.

Cloud

Design a resilient, scalable foundation.

APIs

Make the ecosystem interoperable.

Cybersecurity

Protect identities, assets and provenance.

The final stack is not prescribed. We want the builders in the room before we lock the architecture.

A credible path

Prototype. Pilot.
Release. Scale.

Start with something testable. Design it from day one to grow across institutions, assets and borders.

01Prototype

Validate the product concept and first interface.

02Pilot

Test with real cultural assets and real users.

03First release

Deploy the first working platform modules.

04European network

Scale across municipalities, museums and institutions.

The invitation

Join the journey.

We are not building another software platform.
We are building the digital infrastructure that European Cultural Heritage deserves.
