In this paper, we present the development of an advanced open source multi-lingual cooperative portal system (ASPICO) dedicated to semantic management, and to cooperative exchange for research and education purpose on digital cultural projects. Advantages of using ASPICO include greater flexibility for digital resource management, generic and systematic ontology-based metadata management, and better semantic access and delivery based on an innovative Information Modeling for Adaptive Management (IMAM).
