Institutions
An institution meets the public on the same map as everyone else. Heritage, infrastructure and a practical service can describe one place, each in its own terms. Pinamap is the shared territorial layer. This page is an invitation to explore that territory together.
The map, Presence and the Workspace are open to try. Claim is early access. Presence Pass, routes and conversational discovery are in development. Contact stays in the footer.
Steward territorial context, Presence claims and local activation on the same map. The public map explains the territory. The Workspace is the operational layer. Public heritage, a route, local biodiversity and a community initiative are applications of that map. Our direction is to refer a citizen to the municipal or specialist service that already fits the place. Those services stay independent. We welcome a conversation with the institution responsible.
A campus, a faculty building or a public lecture hall can be a place on the map, with the context a visitor actually needs.
A museum can be the institutional context of a place, as Museu de Lisboa is the public institutional context of the Roman theatre ruins in the knowledge examples. That relationship is published evidence from a public source.
Libraries, parish rooms and civic venues use the same Presence model. A claim is a reviewed request, opened with the people responsible for the place.
Territorial memory keeps an entity, a time and a relationship. The Roman theatre ruins are part of Museu de Lisboa. That is an institutional relation with a public source. A nearby service is a separate fact, recorded when the evidence supports it.
Infrastructure and services — water, access, fuel, a hall — belong in the same territory when the evidence says so. A public record stays distinct from private research, and a proposed relationship is published once it is accepted. A route through public heritage, a biodiversity note and a citizen path to an existing service are municipal applications we are ready to explore together.
Claims for institutional places are still early access and are reviewed with us.
