Digital maps greatly support storytelling about territories, especially when enriched with data describing cultural, societal, and ecological aspects, conveying emotional messages that describe the territory as a whole. Story are interactive online digital narratives can beyond its map by enriching text, pictures, videos, other multimedia information. This paper presents semi-automatic workflow to produce story from textual documents containing data. An expert first assembles one...
The problem of modelling and simulating traditional crafting actions is addressed, motivated by the goals craft understanding, documentation, training. First, physical entities involved in are identified, physically, semantically characterised, including causing entities, conditions, properties, objects, as well space time which they occur. Actions classified into a taxonomy four classes according to their goals, shown exhibit similarities operation principles utilised tools. This...
A roadmap is proposed that defines a systematic approach for craft preservation and its evaluation. The aims to deepen understanding so blueprints of appropriate tools support documentation, education, training can be designed while achieving through the stimulation diversification practitioner income. In addition this roadmap, an evaluation strategy validate efficacy developed results provide benchmark approaches. contribution at catalyzation education with digital aids, widening access...
Abstract In this article we present the first achievement of Index Medii Aevi Geographiae Operum (IMAGO)—Italian National Research Project (2020–23), that is, ontology have created in order to formally represent knowledge about geographical works written Middle Ages and Renaissance (6th–15th centuries). The IMAGO is derived from a strict collaboration between Institute Information Science Technologies (ISTI) Italian Council (CNR) scholars who are involved project, supported ISTI-CNR defining...
Western thought in European history was mainly affected by the image of world created during Middle Ages and Renaissance. The most popular reason to travel taking a pilgrimage. Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago de Compostela were destinations. It is not surprising that lot works written travellers as guides for pilgrims exist. By beginning Renaissance, more precise defined, thanks discovery ancient geographical models, especially work Ptolemy. Italian National Research Project (PRIN) IMAGO --- Index...
The paper presents the Story Map Building and Visualizing Tool (SMBVT) that allows users to create story maps within a collaborative environment usable Web interface. It is entirely open-source published as free-to-use solution. uses Semantic technologies in back-end system represent stories through reference ontology for representing narratives. builds up user-shared semantic knowledge base automatically interconnects all seamlessly enables building. Finally, it operates an Open-Science...
Abstract Hypermedia Dante Network (HDN) is a 3-year Italian National Research Project, started in 2020, which aims to enrich the functionalities of DanteSources Digital Library efficiently represent knowledge about primary sources Dante’s Comedy. allows users retrieve and visualize list distribution Dante's that have been identified by recent commentaries five minor works (i.e. Vita nova, De vulgari eloquentia, Convivio, Monarchia, Rime). The digital library based on formal ontology...
We address the problem of systematizing authoring digital dictionaries for craft education from ethnographic studies and recordings. First, we present guidelines collection data using audio video identify terms that are central in description crafting actions, products, tools, materials. Second, a classification scheme way to semantically annotate them, multilingual hierarchical thesaurus, which provides term definitions semantic hierarchy these terms. Third, link resources open-access...
The United Nations forecast a significant shift in global population distribution by 2050, with rural populations projected to decline. This decline will particularly challenge mountain areas' cultural heritage, well-being, and economic sustainability. Understanding the economic, environmental, societal effects of is important Europe, where mountainous regions are vital for supplying goods. present paper describes geospatially explicit semantic knowledge graph containing information on 454...
This paper explores the representation of geospatial knowledge within narratives through a Semantic Web approach. We introduce NOnt+Space (NOnt+S) model, an extension CIDOC CRM-based Narrative Ontology, which allows and their aspects. By leveraging standards such as CRMgeo GeoSPARQL, NOnt+S ensures systematic interoperable in narratives, enabling queries on graphs. present assessment utilising data from H2020 MOVING European project (2021-2024), collected about mountain value chains intended...
