Il “Moving Panorama” in IIIF. Usi di standard e di tecniche VR360 per un approccio alla museografia digitale
Full text linkThe scenario of the Italian museums within the IIIF – International Image Interoperability Framework – environment is quite uneven due to a still early stage in the process of digitizing the collections. Nevertheless, the emphasis on the description and interpretation of historical art collections through the framework is relevant to institutions whose environments and connotations are highly decorated. This is the case of the Galleria Borghese of Rome, whose entire collection is constituted not only by single artwork but also by its rooms and walls. In this work, through the examination of the whole artistic heritage of the Galleria Borghese, we aimed to integrate the multiple relationships that occur between rooms and artworks into the IIIF Manifests. To provide the user with a highly immersive experience, we designed Manifests as an interlinked path structured in whole-part relationships. The implementation of VR360 images of the rooms will also be completed to allow visitors to browse between the rooms and the works of art they contain. Finally, to increase the semantic interoperability of the resource within the IIIF Manifest, we decided to apply the VRACore metadata schema. This operation is configured as a first step towards the standardization of information provided by the museum.Lo scenario dei musei italiani all’interno del panorama IIIF – International Image Interoperability Framework – è piuttosto disomogeneo a causa di uno stato ancora embrionale del processo di digitalizzazione delle collezioni. Tuttavia, l'accento posto sulla descrizione e interpretazione delle collezioni d'arte antica attraverso il framework IIIF è rilevante per quelle istituzioni i cui ambienti sono fortemente caratterizzati da apparti decorativi, oltre che dalle opere d’arte. Attraverso l'esame dell'intera collezione della Galleria Borghese, il nostro obiettivo è stato quello di rappresentare ed esprimere le molteplici relazioni tra opere, ambienti e raccolte descritte nei Manifest IIIF. Per suggerire all'utente un'esperienza immersiva oltre che interattiva, il Manifest è stato progettato come un itinerario interconnesso, strutturato attraverso relazioni parte-tutto. Questo elemento è reso possibile grazie all’integrazione di fotografie panoramiche delle sale e dalle tecnologie VR360 per consentire una navigazione tra le stanze del museo e al tempo stesso tre le sue raccolte. L'applicazione dello schema di metadati VRACore offre un primo passo verso la standardizzazione delle informazioni fornite dal museo
Mappare il museo in IIIF. Una combinazione di deep zoom e VR360 per la Galleria Borghese di Roma.
No full textL’adozione del framework IIIF, International Image Interoperability Framework, presenta all’interno dello scenario italiano
una linea discontinua e ancora frammentata, una disomogeneità dovuta soprattutto alla fase ancora iniziale nel processo di
digitalizzazione delle collezioni. Tuttavia, l'enfasi su come descrivere e interpretare le collezioni storico-artistiche
avvalendosi degli applicativi IIIF catalizza in maniera crescente l’attenzione di musei, specie nei casi in cui questi si
presentano come palazzi storici, monumenti essi stessi oltre che contenitori di arte, fortemente connotati nei loro spazi da
decori, stucchi, affreschi e arredi. Il progetto in esame riguarda proprio uno di questi istituti, nella fattispecie la Galleria
Borghese di Roma, e coinvolge ricercatori e studenti del Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities di Venezia
(VeDPH), nella descrizione in IIIF delle sale e delle opere digitalizzate del museo, attingendo al catalogo online delle
collezioni. Le ricadute di questa sperimentazione possono interessare sia un pubblico generalizzato che specialistico, rivolto
soprattutto a professionisti museali. Per questi ultimi l'adozione di tale modello può intervenire nella progettazione di
mostre temporanee e nello sviluppo di attività educative avvalendosi di ulteriori applicazioni di editing adottate da altre
piattaforme dello stesso framework quale lo strumento Storiies

Full text linkKnowledge extraction, research projects and archives management.
No full textArchives play an important role in the knowledge society and must respond ever more
quickly to information needs. For example, in the case of universities, research projects are a
strategic asset for the growth of territories, the rationalization of financial resources and the
development of archival science. Clearly, the documentation that characterizes the research projects
has an administrative value as well. This paper, investigates the possibility of extracting knowledge
from this class of documents. In particular, the purpose of this paper is to experiment with the
application of some automatic metadata extraction tools on archival documents. The chosen tools
use Machine Learning technologies and supervised learning techniques together with newer deep
learning technologies. An approach of metadata automatic extraction could provide a greater
continuity between production and representation of objects. Metadata can be useful in accessing or
sharing contents within digital preservation systems (i.e. ontologies, Linked Data)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
