Searching Silk Fabrics by Images Leveraging on Knowledge Graph and Domain Expert Rules
2021
The production of European silk textile is an endangered intangible cultural heritage. Digital tools can nowadays be developed to help preserving it, or even to make it more accessible for the public and the fashion industry. In this paper, we propose an image-based retrieval tool that leverages on a knowledge graph describing the silk textile production as well as rules formulated by experts of this domain. Out of several possible similarity scenarios, two have proven to work best and have been integrated into an exploratory search engine.
SILKNOWViz: Spatio-Temporal Data Ontology Viewer
2019
Interactive visualization of spatio-temporal data is a very active area that has experienced remarkable advances in the last decade. This is due to the emergence of fields of research such as big data and advances in hardware that allow better analysis of information. This article describes the methodology followed and the design of an open source tool, which in addition to interactively visualizing spatio-temporal data that are represented in an ontology, allows the definition of what to visualize and how to do it. The tool allows selecting, filtering and visualizing in a graphical way the entities of the ontology with spatiotemporal data, as well as the instances related to them. The grap…
SITES ARCHÉOLOGIQUES ET TOURISME CULTUREL INTÉGRÉ/SITI ARCHEOLOGICI E TURISMO CULTURALE INTEGRATO
2013
Il tema della comunicazione dei beni archeologici in questa sede vuole tentare di comprendere se le nuove tecnologie di comunicazione (ITC) possono diventare parte integrante del processo di comprensione/comunicazione del reperto e del sito nel suo complesso fisico e paesaggistico. In tal ottica la progettazione tecnologica può essere strumento per l'ambientazione del percorso museale, dove le tecnologie di comunicazione non devono risultare invasive e/o preponderanti con grandi istallazioni, ma devono piuttosto supportare il visitatore nel percorso di conoscenza del sito. La convinzione è che le nuove tecnologie se ben inserite ed integrate nel percorso di visita, e se capaci di coinvolger…
L'innovazione tecnologica per il Patrimonio Architettonico nel dialogo fra passato, presente e futuro
2011
Il Patrimonio Architettonico cambia incessantemente: gestire la trasformazione con adeguati strumenti conoscitivi e gestionali è l’unico modo di cui dispone il presente per trasmettere l’eredità del passato alle generazioni future. Perché ciò sia possibile, occorre creare le basi di un dialogo tra passato, presente e futuro, riuscendo a superare la rimozione della variabile tempo. Nel caso dell’innovazione di prodotto, tale dialogo deve mediare i vantaggi del nuovo con i rischi del futuro; nel caso dell’innovazione di processo, che pure non sortisce effetti tangibili, il contributo al ruolo di cerniera svolto dalla generazione presente è ancora più efficace, per perseguire l’obiettivo di un…
What does happen when an insect pest follows its host plant and viceversa?
2015
Invasive species are usually well known but only make up a small percentage of the European’s alien plants and insects. The ways these exotic species interact with our natural and cultural heritage are very complex and even some species considered invasive had and could have positive aspects on some European landscape and culture. A close look at the complicated relationship between non-native and native plants and insects in the Mediterranean areas reveals some unexpected twists in the story. Here are some cases of when aliens can threaten our cultural heritage or being part of it

Europe’s Peat Fire: Intangible Heritage and the Crusades for Identity
2019
Dissonances of ethnic nationalism have in Western cultural policy long been concealed by the universalist discourses of the international treaties on material heritage protection, as framed by the expansive heritage conservation apparatuses of the European nation states. Originally inspired by the 19th century romantic spirit of conservation, they became in the 20th century part of the modern, state-apparatus. Yet parallel with the European enlargements and new kinds of memory debates on the Holocaust and postcolonialism, these authorized heritage regimes have received more and more competition from a transnational counter-discourse on intangible cultural heritage. Like the earlier transfor…
