The contents of these last two are mainly the result of concluded research projects, carried out by the Centre or in collaboration, but also include contents produced outside CHAM, which were kindly provided by the responsible institutions.

HPIP is defined and operates as a public interactive portal of the georeferenced database hosting information from the publication Património de Origem Portuguesa no Mundo: arquitectura e urbanismo (4 vols., under the direction of José Mattoso, FCG 2010-2011) and the contributions subsequently added by different academic projects, compiled into a dictionary with a geographical matrix. The HPIP project is constantly being updated and made with the communities and in defence of their interests in the integrated safeguarding, enhancement, use and development of these heritage assets that are part of humanity's common heritage.

This new platform combines common names, species, related information, relevant studies, and historical representations of marine mammals in 14 different languages. Besides the written and graphic components, the platform also has a sound component, featuring the pronunciation of the names in different languages. These animals are also associated with human activities, mythical creatures, toponymy and zooarchaeology. Users can search each category, and the platform's interface is available in Portuguese, English and Norwegian. This platform is a living organism, which can be fed regularly and to which we can all contribute, helping to keep it growing. We hope the Marine Lexicon platform will become a working tool for all those interested in the sea, its creatures, their contact and relations with humans, and the interactions that have influenced names, designations, places, and legends.
