ESplora
The platform that transforms scattered cultural content into a clear, multilingual, ready-to-use visitor experience.
We have built a system that retrieves data, organizes it, and makes it accessible. From the database to the editorial portal, up to the multi-device app: ES brings the ES logic (data → system → experience) into the territorial enhancement.
In short, what it enables:
- Lean, multilingual database designed for high performance and fast management.
- Crawling + data mining to aggregate and enhance content from the web and open data.
- Editorial portal with maps, workflow management, and assisted translation.
- Mobile app with maps, contextual content, and augmented-reality features.
Over 2,500 points of interest catalogued and organised across Emilia-Romagna (the model’s first implementation).
Components in Development
From field problems to solutions.
Each component addresses a specific operational challenge: less time spent managing content, higher-quality data, and more context for visitors.
- Content validation: semi-automated checks to maintain quality and consistency without slowing workflows.
- Image recognition: frame a cultural asset to access contextual and multimedia information.
- Thematic itineraries: grouped by theme, not only by geographical location.
- Interoperability: components designed to connect with data and systems already in use across the region.
