At the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici of Lazio Region, a number of diverse databases are in use for cataloguing and management of cultural heritage. The existing databases have been designed in different moments, for different purposes and in different ways, so interoperability is impossible between them. In order to ensure interoperability and to promote the sharing of cultural information and services, the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici of Lazio has started a collaboration with the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR), which since 2007 has been developing SITAR. The data model and database, created by SITAR for the Italian Capital, will be used as a basis for a common infrastructure, so the previous databases can progressively flow into a unique platform for sharing cultural data with an increasingly wide audience, not only researchers and public bodies, but also all citizens.
