Description

The Mediterranean Digital Humanities Lab is an infrastructure of interdisciplinary research of the National Research Council (CNR), whose primary purpose is to further develop the potential of projects carried out by the Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean (CNR – ISMed) and its many scientific partners.

Taking up the most recent instances of the so-called “Informatics Humanities”, the laboratory promotes the research and dissemination of new methodologies in order to adequately support research activities in the management of the complexity and multifaceted variety of information on which to build a modern historical narrative. It is in this shared space that discussion and reworking takes place to Social Network Analysis processes, from systems for collecting and management of information of a spatial nature (GIS or “Historical-GIS”) to the establishment of large digital repositories for the processing of sources textual sources (digital epigraphy/philology).  

In parallel, the MDHLab takes advantage of the extraordinary possibilities for research dissemination offered by the new media-and web-based platforms in general-and by the use of shared standards such as Linked Open Data.
