This article presents a completely innovative comprehensive social platform that includes Intelligent, Interactive and Interoperable applications that will bring beyond the way cultural digital resources are created, disseminated, preserved and re-used based on new ICT solutions. The I3-CPM (Intelligent, Interactive and Interoperable Comprehensive social Platform for the 21st century Museums) is intended to demonstrate the museum?s capability to foster an active participation of large number of stakeholders to create a European Cultural Digital Space where geographic distances and time are meaningless (any time and any place approach). To this end, the I3-CPM has been designed to be interoperable, modular, scalable and portable by interconnecting History, Archaeology, and Social Sciences with cutting-edge multi-disciplinary technologies, such as Virtual Environments, Augmented Reality, Holographic Displays, Intelligent Agents, Mobile technologies, Immersive Caves, and Gestures Sensors. Digital cultural contents and information are received by users according to a new transmedia, user- driven, adaptive, interactive, intelligent and meaningful experience where History becomes a guide for life.
