Dal rilievo alla comunicazione multimediale. La rappresentazione del colore in Palazzo Schifanoia (Ferrara)
No full textIl recente sisma avvenuto nei territori emiliani ha lasciato sul campo molti problemi aperti che, subito dopo le prime operazioni di messa in sicurezza, hanno richiesto l’avvio di un percorso d’indagine e di conoscenza che vede nel rilevamento il perno centrale intorno al quale si sviluppano operazioni di recupero, consolidamento, restauro e rivitalizzazione.
Palazzo Schifanoia, delizia estense fondata intorno al 1385 da Alberto d’Este, è tra i maggiori edifici storici ferraresi colpiti, l’edificio è stato a lungo interdetto al pubblico e ancora oggi è fruibile il solo Salone dei Mesi.
In sinergia con le operazioni di consolidamento e restauro è stato sviluppato un progetto di musealizzazione che ha nella rappresentazione digitale lo strumento primo ed essenziale per la comunicazione di contenuti scientifici e iconografici complessi e stratificati
From survey data to virtual environment. Two case studies
No full textIn this paper we present the latest experiences carried out by our research group in the field of multimedia communication. Starting from the construction of virtual models, interactive and non-interactive, we pursued the aim to introduce edutainment paths in some museum contexts, both increasing the value of cultural assets and creating an attractive pole for the visitors. The current trends are gradually transforming museums from static places of conservation into active and engaging spaces to deliver accessible culture to the masses, using digital technologies for creating new paradigms of interaction and enhance the experience of the visitor. Here we present two case studies, whose purpose is to bring together the different competences by various experts to test the potential of digital products as non-formal teaching tools to allow a satisfying learning experience. The case explored are those of the Civic Museum of Schifanoia (Ferrara) and the octagonal cloister of the Carracci in San Michele in Bosco (Bologna). The multimedia products discussed here relate to these two research themes, and up to now 3 out of 5 planned products have been made (in final mode, or in prototype form). The experimentation led to concrete results that introduced a reflection on what investigative methodologies and protocols are more suitable to be adopted in these cases, in compliance to the aim identified by the project.</p

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
Rilievo, conoscenza e comunicazione: il complesso di san Michele in Bosco e il Chiostro ottagonale dei Carracci. Survey, insight and communication: the complex of San Michele in Bosco and the Octagonal Cloister by Carracci.
No full textLo studio ha come obiettivi la documentazione, l’indagine e la decodificazione dell’antico impianto monastico attraverso il rilievo integrato. Parallelamente sono in corso sperimentazioni su possibili modelli e strategie funzionali alla comunicazione dei contenuti storico-scientifici elaborati nel corso della ricerca.
The purpose of this study is to document, survey and decipher the ancient monastic complex through an integrated survey. Tests are going on at the same time on potential models and strategies that may be instrumental to the communication of the historical-scientific contents acquired through such survey
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
