SPOKE 3

Goals

Spoke 3 is dedicated to the digitisation and analysis of archival, bibliographic and textual sources. The aim is to create a digital environment for philology and digital libraries, facilitating the transcription and study of manuscript texts and book forms using OCR and HTR technologies. Spoke 3 will improve the understanding of linguistic and cultural contacts through diachronic and synchronic perspectives on multilingualism in Italy. By digitising and making accessible various historical and literary texts, it supports comprehensive philological, linguistic and cultural research, promoting a greater appreciation and understanding of Italy's rich textual heritage.
Spoke 3 promotes the adoption of advanced techniques in the fields of digital imaging, preservation, recognition and accessibility of textual heritage, text-image sources and tangible and intangible linguistic heritage. Its main aim is the creation of digital archives containing manuscript and audio sources, as well as the creation of an environment dedicated to digital philology.

Digital Humanities

Spoke 3 intends to make a contribution to the development of the vast field of knowledge, whose relevance is now recognised internationally, that is usually grouped under the term ‘Digital Humanities’. Humanities informatics is not promoted from privileged scientific fields, but involves all knowledge in the literary, philological and linguistic spheres in order to foster the development of digital tools that can be used by scholars of different backgrounds.

Sustainability

Spoke 3 works on projects that enable a use of intangible cultural assets that can be ecologically and scientifically sustainable on the one hand, and on the other hand that guarantees accessibility of knowledge regardless of the technological tool used.

Interoperability

Spoke 3 aims at the establishment of an integrated digital study environment, in which a multitude of tools can be used in a virtuous way in order to realise projects of humanistic interest with multiple functionalities. For this, the activities in which the various partners are involved place particular emphasis on the interoperability of research products.
