Despite a vast and heterogeneous tangible cultural heritage such as the Italian one, cultural operators still denounce the lack of innovative tools able to facilitate the management of huge amounts of data and to integrate the various heterogeneous and fragmented databases of the variouspublic / private culture operators in an efficient way. SACHER responds to this need through a federated cloud platform that allows access to data related to tangible Cultural Heritage coming from heterogeneous external sources and provides services for processing, searching and presenting the various data in an intuitive and user-friendly way even for non-expert users in the field of ICT technologies. SACHER targets cultural operators specialized in the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of assets, personnel of the Public Administration, but also citizens and tourists interested in the use of Cultural Heritage.
