EVENTI EValuation of Events and Temporal INformation at Evalita 2014
No full textThis report describes the EVENTI (EValuation of Events aNd Temporal Information) task organized within the EVALITA 2014 evaluation campaign. The EVENTI task aims at evaluating the performance of Temporal Information Processing systems on a corpus of Italian news articles. Motivations for the task, datasets, evaluation metrics, and results obtained by participating systems are presented and discussed
CLARIN-IT and the Definition of a Digital Critical Edition for Ancient Greek Poetry. A New Project for Ancient Fragmentary Texts with a Complex Tradition
No full textCLARIN-IT and the Definition of a Digital Critical Edition for Ancient Greek Poetry
Full text linkAncient Greek studies, and Classics in general, is a perfect field of investigation in Digital Humanities. Indeed, DH approaches could become a means of building models for complex realities, analyzing them with computational methods and sharing the results with a broader public. Ancient texts have a complex tradition, which includes many witnesses (texts that handed down other texts) and different typologies of supports (papyri, manuscripts, and epigraphs). These texts are the basis of all European Literatures and it is crucial to spread their knowledge, in a reliable and easy way. Our project on ancient Greek fragmentary poetry (DEA - Digital Edition of Archilochus: New models and tools for authoring, editing and indexing an ancient Greek fragmentary author), growing out of the existing experience, tries to define a TEI-based digital critical edition combined with NLP techniques and semantic web technologies. Our goal is to provide a complete and reliable tool for scholars, suitable for critical studies in Classics, and a user-friendly environment also for non-specialist users. The project represents one of the attempts within the context of CLARIN-IT to contribute to the wider impact of CLARIN on the specific Italian community interested in Digital Classics. It is intended to improve services in fostering new knowledge in SSH digital research and sustaining the existing one
Italian {Language} {Resources}. {From} {CLARIN}-{IT} to the {VLO} and {Back}: {Sketching} a {Methodology} for {Monitoring} {LRs} {Visibility}
Full text linkThis paper sketches a user-oriented, qualitative methodology for both (i) monitoring the existence and availability of language resources relevant for a given CLARIN national community and language and (ii) assessing the offering potential of CLARIN, in terms of Language Resources provided to national consortia. From the user perspective, the methodology has been applied to investigate the visibility of language resources available for Italian within the CLARIN central services, in particular the Virtual Language Observatory. As a proof-of-concept, the methodology has been tested on the resources available through the CLARIN-IT data centres, but, ideally, it could be applied by any national data centre aiming to assess the existence of LRs in CLARIN for any given languages and check their accessibility for the interested users. It is thus argued that such an assessment might be a useful instrument in the hands of national coordinators and centre managers for (i) bringing to the fore both strengths and critical issues about their data providing community and (ii) for planning targeted actions to improve and increase both visibility and accessibility of their LRs
{CLARIN}-{IT} Resources in {CLARIN} {ERIC} - a Bird’s-Eye View
No full textThis paper investigates the visibility of CLARIN-IT language resources within the services of the CLARIN ERIC central infrastructure, notably the Virtual Language Observatory, the Switchboard and the Federated Content Search, from a user perspective in order to identify possible issues. While the experiment focused on one national consortium, the ultimate goal is to develop an assessment methodology that can be used by any national consortia aiming to review the accessibility of their resources and tools within the CLARIN central services
Presenting a system of human-machine interaction for performing map tasks
No full textA system for human machine interaction is presented, that offers second language learners of Italian the possibility of assessing their competence by performing a map task, namely by guiding the a virtual follower through a map with written instructions in natural language. The underlying natural language processing algorithm is described, and the map authoring infrastructure is presented
Building a Home for Italian Audio Archives
Full text linkAudio and audiovisual archives are at the crossroads of different fields of knowledge, yet theyrequire common solutions for both their long-term preservation and their description, availability,use and reuse. Archivio Vi.Vo. is an Italian project financed by the Tuscany Region, aiming to(i) explore methods for long-term preservation and secure access to oral sources and (ii) developan infrastructure under the CLARIN-IT umbrella offering several services for scholars from dif-ferent domains interested in oral sources. This paper describes the project’s infrastructure and itsmethodology through a case study on the Caterina Bueno’s audio archive
The Grey-side of Audio Archives
No full textArchives often include documents that can hardly be considered publications or grey
literature as such, yet they maintain their documentary value and play a role of primary
sources for the specialists. These documents, indeed, can help archivists to reveal the
sedimentation process of the archive itself and to preserve the authentic context of the
documentary production. They also appear to be very useful for the community of
researchers and scholars. This happens more frequently with oral archives which include
‘non-conventional sources’, thus bringing together audio documents, fieldworks notes,
correspondence, slipcases, analogic compact cassettes or open reels. At the cross-road of
two disciplines, Archival Science and Grey Literature, this paper aims to argue the
applicability of the concept of grey literature to this wide range of documentary
materials, by showing the experience of Archivio Vi.Vo, a regional project aiming at
building a model for archiving, preserving, managing and disseminating audio
document
Not just paper: enhancement of archive cultural heritage
No full textOral archives and digital technologies have gone hand-in-hand for a very long time. Both sides benefit from this interdisciplinary junction: technology enhances the preservation and diffusion of oral materials, while exploiting them to develop cutting-edge tools for their treatment. This chapter deals with an Italian instantiation of this mutual relationship: the Archivio Vi.Vo. project. Offering innovative solutions concerning metadata, audio restoration, description , and access, Archivio Vi.Vo. aims to build an online platform to host the oral archives from Tuscany. The project is powered by CLARIN-IT, which guarantees its compliance with standards and offers resources for data access and discoverability. Archivio Vi.Vo. has not been built from scratch: it is instead a cross-fertilization of previous initiatives and research projects (e.g., the Gra.fo project). Moreover, the chapter presents the related, contemporary work of a multidisciplinary group striving to synthesize a Vademecum for future generations of oral archive researchers. Lastly, a brief list of tentative ideas for future developments of the Archivio Vi.Vo. platform will be presented
