ARIADNE brings together and integrates existing archaeological research data infrastructures, so that researchers can use the various distributed datasets and new and powerful technologies as an integral component of the archaeological research methodology. ARIADNE is funded by the European Commission under the Community’s Seventh Framework Programme, contract no. FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2012-1-313193. The project started on 1st February 2013 and runs for 48 months.

Il progetto Texts on the Move mira a mappare la ricezione delle scrittrici russe in Finlandia e la ricezione delle autrici finlandesi (di lingua finlandese e svedese) in Russia. Il concetto di ���ricezione��� �� inteso in senso ampio, includendo non solo le traduzioni, ma anche altri modi in cui i testi si sono mossi e hanno reagito alla transnazionalit��, mettendo in evidenza un���ampia gamma di reti letterarie, culturali e sociali. Il progetto offre un nuovo sguardo sulla storia letteraria e sugli scambi culturali tra Finlandia e Russia, visti in un contesto europeo pi�� ampio. Si collega ai metodi digitali e alla ricerca sui media digitali, metodi e tematiche che si sono sviluppati nel campo degli studi di genere negli ultimi decenni. Introduce numerosi metodi misti e la mesoanalysis. �� il primo progetto di ricerca su ampia scala sulla storia delle relazioni letterarie tra la Finlandia e la Russia dal punto di vista di genere. Il progetto �� finanziato dalla Fondazione Emil Aaltonen, Finlandia. Studi Finno-Ugrici, n.s., V. 1 (2021): SFU ��� Studi Finno-Ugrici, n.s.

Introduction to the Conference.

The paper is about recent national and European legislation on data re-use. It argues that the time has come to realize that Open Access and copyright ought not to oppose each other. They should instead find ways to balance each other. Open Access is necessary for government-sponsored data. The industrial and creative industry cannot simply give up copyright; it must keep it in order to survive on the market. On the other hand, the industrial and creative industry ought to be allowed to make use of government-sponsored data. Legislation is on the way.

National audience; Il 1° ottobre 2015 il MIUR firma l'adesione dell'Italia a CLARIN-ERIC, l'infrastruttura di ricerca che offre risorse e tecnologie linguistiche dedicate al settore delle scienze del linguaggio e delle scienze umane e sociali. Questo articolo intende fornire alla comunità italiana una ampia panoramica di CLARIN, la sua missione, i suoi pilastri, i servizi, la sua organizzazione tecnica ed amministrativa e la struttura di governance, sia a livello europeo che locale. Viene introdotto il network italiano, con il primo centro nazionale ILC4CLARIN, ospitato ed in via di sviluppo presso l'ILC-CNR, le funzionalità, le risorse ed i servizi offerti; viene presentato infine il primo nucleo del consorzio nazionale CLARIN-IT, illustrando i criteri di costituzione, le attività previste e le prospettive future.

The article illustrates the most recent achievements of archaeological computing, through a systematic survey that starts with the very name of the discipline, as used at national and international levels. The aim is to examine if the distinction made between 'archaeological computing' and 'digital archaeology' can really be helpful in framing the discipline in its theoretical and methodological evolution. From the synthesis made, the dominance of technological aspects on the theoretical and methodological approach clearly emerges. For some time now, technology has governed the three main areas of archaeological practice: field work, laboratory analysis and cultural heritage management and promotion. Two other important aspects are today rapidly gaining ground: 'Communicating archaeological research' and 'European digital infrastructures for archaeology'. Finally, particularly significant is the sector of Digital Heritage or Heritage Science, which today seems to be the focus of all digital archaeology involvements.

The co-operative model is a key concept of ICCU’s cultural policy. The Institute is responsible for some of the most important national infrastructures for accessing heritage and documentation of the Italian libraries, and over the years it has adopted an increasingly open data policy to facilitate the use and reuse of digital cultural heritage on an international scale. ICCU has a profound expertise in digitisation standards and guidelines; it manages the National Library Service, the union catalogue of over 6,000 Italian libraries and it coordinates, on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage Activities and Tourism, major digital cultural heritage projects at a national level such as Internet Culturale, the portal of the digital resources of Italy’s libraries, and CulturaItalia, the national aggregator for Europeana. ICCU also manages MuseiD-Italia, the digital library of the Italian museums, integrated in CulturaItalia portal. ICCU participates in many international initiatives for strengthening the cohesion of research and technical and semantic interoperability in the sector of cultural heritage, humanities, history and linguistic studies in order to create a digital ecosystem and effective e-infrastructures that can offer innovative tools and services able to exploit synergies and cooperative workflows in these related domains. The paper presents the main projects and activities carried out by ICCU at national and international levels that are investigating political and technical issues of the relation between the DCH sector and research infrastructures.

The issue of this PhD thesis is a Web Mapping platform on a global scale based on XML interchange protocols and accepted standards.The focus was on the minimum specifications that the archaeological data should have in order to be uniform and interoperable, and above all, on the geometric and cartographic characteristics that would allow the production of a homogeneous archaeological mapping. Until this moment, the proposals for the production of archaeological cartography have been developed at local, regional, national or, with rare exceptions, continental scale.Thanks to recent advances in information technology, it is now possible to create an open platform for the implementation, storage, exchange, discussion and verification of spatial archaeological data on a global scale.We have identified the primary categories for the acquisition of archaeological data, by defining the minimum standards of compliance of the data, without, however, trivialize the data themselves, thus avoiding a dangerous loss of historical-topographical information. The identification of the four coordinates of objects acquired and a minimum data set of attributes, plus a set of metadata was fundamental.The proposal is therefore the development of a Web Mapping platform, open and collaborative, for positioning and representation of archaeological remains, a sort of "cadaster", and an analytical and detailed knowledge base to assist, support and address each territorial study.; L’objet de cette thèse de doctorat est une plate-forme de cartographie en ligne à l’échelle mondiale basée sur les protocoles d'échange XML et des normes standardisées.L’accent a été mis sur les spécifications minimales que les données archéologiques devraient avoir afin d’être uniformes et interopérables et, surtout, sur les caractéristiques géométriques et cartographiques qui permettraient la production d'une cartographie archéologique homogène. Jusqu’à présent, les propositions pour la production de la cartographie archéologique ont été élaborées à l'échelle locale, régionale, nationale ou, à de rares exceptions près, continentale.Grâce aux récents progrès des technologies de l’information, il est maintenant possible de créer une plate-forme ouverte pour la mise en œuvre, le stockage, l’échange, la discussion et la vérification de données archéologiques spatiales à l’échelle mondiale.Nous avons identifié les principales catégories pour l’acquisition de données archéologiques, en définissant les normes minimales de conformité des données, sans toutefois banaliser les données elles-mêmes, en évitant ainsi une perte dangereuse d’informations historico-topographiques. L’identification des quatre coordonnées des objets acquis et d’un ensemble minimal de données descriptives, plus un ensemble de métadonnées, a été fondamentale.La proposition consiste donc à développer une plateforme de cartographie en ligne, ouverte et collaborative, pour le positionnement et la représentation des vestiges archéologiques ; une sorte de « cadastre », et une base de connaissances analytique et détaillée pour aider, soutenir et traiter chaque étude territoriale.

Social sciences and humanities, and cultural heritage have been investigated at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) since the agency’s reform in March 4, 1963. From that date on, CNR has made it possible for the Italian SSH and CH communities to undergo a rapid and far-reaching development, which has brought about vital technological innovations - such as the setting up of Italy’s first digital library in 1964 - as well as substantial services to the country - one thinks of the industrial applications provoked by the rapid improvement of cultural heritage restoration techniques in the aftermath of the Florence flood of November 4, 1966. Today SSH and CH researchers are part of the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities, and Cultural Heritage (DSU-CNR). At the center of DSU-CNR investigations are all social objects, be they material or immaterial (artifacts, books, social findings), but always set by a person, which now makes a repositioning of technological development increasingly urgent. Persons are not out there only to make sure machines work, they are expected to ask the questions that human beings find it necessary to pose while proceeding along the via humanitatis. Culture is about people that take part in the project of constructing Europe as a society that ought to be less unequal, less unjust, less segregating, and less passive with regard to differing starting environments. CNR researchers work in synergy and express the potentials of diverse sectors. They have integrated findings and methods of history, philology, linguistics, archaeology, physics, chemistry, and ICT. Among the new cross-disciplinary fields that have emerged are: heritage science, the ageing society and migration studies. The result is a multidisciplinary context, which is dynamic and productive, and in which natural sciences dialogue with humanities for the sake of cultural heritage cognition, conservation and valorization.
