The company does not pursue profit purposes, has the consortium purpose of undertake suitable initiatives to build an integrated research network, experimentation, training and dissemination, creating innovative outputs connected to goods, sites and cultural activities, planning itineraries of enhancing and encouraging the start-up of start- up and spin- off. Friends of intervention will concern the knowledge, through the development of a system integrated cognitive safeguard; the monitoring, through the development of a diagnostic system of conservative safeguard; the fruition, through a sustainable system of safeguard of use.
In this way, you will realize services of scientific nature and of experimentation and analysis, through an inter-disciplinary management of the competences and professionalism of the members, for the applicative development of innovative techniques and ict solutions of investigation, cataloguing, survey and planning of restoration, recovery, eco-compatible reconversion and valorization of archaeological, historical, artistic, architectural and landscape heritage, planning and monitoring of complex processes of development and control of environmental quality. Databenc is configured as an eco-system of open innovation, based on an evolved network of public and private entities (institutions, universities, research centers, companies, associations, etc.)
That, by capitalizing the innovative capital of each (scientific, technological, economic, relational, social), generates, disseminates and retains shared value. In order to achieve a modern and fully responsive to the expectations of the new generation of users and that is sustainable, the district intends to experiment, for example, solutions for user/visitor interaction (on-site, on-line, remote) through physical reality paths (3d scenography, medium immersivity, single/multiple fruition), augmented reality on mobile platform (close mode, high immersivity, single/multiple fruition), virtual reconstruction applications (remote mode, limited immersivity, single/multiple fruition), learning itineraries (training / dissemination).
The High Technology District for Cultural Heritage, consistent with the Horizon 2020 guidelines, intends to propose the concepts of Smart Innovation and Smart Environment as effective, carefully planned and fully sustainable actions.

Some of the consortium members belonging to the University system provide for internal degree courses financed for the training of personnel specialized in conservation and restoration of cultural heritage, issuing professional qualifications recognized by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities. Within the consortium there are companies specialized in the restoration of cultural heritage. In its experience, the consortium has been promoter of many activities related to this initiative.
The research project SNECS (Social Network of the Historical Centers Entities) was aimed at collecting and transmitting contents of scientific knowledge of artistic, archaeological, historical-philosophical nature on the territory of Campania. Particular attention was paid to the historical centers, activating and experimenting new strategies for their representation, organization, dissemination and promotion. These strategies, based on technological intelligence paradigms, represent the challenges of Smart cities and Smart environment, which the European community asks to take up. SNECS wanted to support such a design by designing a set of integration ICT services able to collect information from all interventions on environment, energy saving, health, in order to measure their effects on the quality of life of the community. The CHIS project, acronym of “Cultural Heritage Information System”,has involved a team of excellence with multidisciplinary skills, and aims to study and develop a series of innovative solutions that ensure the value for the territory, cultural heritage and landscape, and that insist on them and at the same time make the definition of that resource “unique”.
The aim of the project was the study and prototyping of an innovative ICT architecture – cloud, mobile and web based – that, also thanks to the declination of the “Internet of Things” paradigm, allows to provide “intelligence” to a given context. Given the heterogeneity and multiplicity of scenarios and areas in which the CHIS platform is applicable, it was necessary to define what are the requirements for a given space to be considered “smart”, requirements then translated into specifications for the IT platform. The use of new technologies within the CHIS project has made it possible to build the following fundamental pillars:
- to enhance, in an innovative and sustainable way, the landscape and cultural heritage, unique in the world, of our country through a technological infrastructure that makes portability, adaptability and modularity its main features
- to make this heritage enjoyable in an intelligent way, taking into account and enhancing cultural differences, interests, the desire to “learn” from experience, with a view to high customization, without forgetting the protection of the weakest categories such as the disabled, the elderly and children
- handing over the heritage itself to future generations safeguarded and enriched, thanks to the innovative approach of the Project, increasingly enshrining the principle that cultural heritage is an asset of all humanity and that the communities that have it in custody must preserve it and make it known
The PAUN research project aims to lay the foundations for the realization of the Urban Archaeological Park of the City of Naples (PAUN) by defining its initial location in the archaeological site of Piazza Municipio. From a conceptual point of view, ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK OF NAPLES is based on the assumption that without knowledge there is no lasting valorization and without protection there is no heritage to pass on to future generations. One of the main objectives is, therefore, to meet the need for information and services related to cultural heritage through ways that promote innovation in systems of protection and valorization.
In this sense, each of the objectives of the project intends to give life to an interaction of skills and knowledge, creating a synergistic solution to different needs of the cultural sector of the region. The objective is the realization of an integrated system of knowledge of the archaeological heritage, using the functionality of the CHIS platform and implementing the structure of the Integrated Atlas of Knowledge prepared within the SNECS project. The System is compatible with the standards of the National Archaeological Information System (SITAN) and the SIGEC-WEB of the ICCD of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and is based on the platform CHIS (Cultural Heritage Information System) developed by the DATABENC District within the homonymous Project PON03PE_00099_1.
