CHeLabS (Cultural Heritage Open Laboratory System) si propone come un nuovo modello di infrastruttura di ricerca per i beni culturali integrabile in un sistema generale di facilities. CHeLabS è distribuita sul territorio e consiste in una rete di siti ad accesso open direttamente localizzati nel patrimonio culturale stesso. In questo modo il Territorio, con il suo distintivo Patrimonio Culturale viene connesso efficacemente con le capacità tecnologiche ivi distribuite. In questo sistema sono selezionati un numero di siti rappresentativi di specifici problemi di deterioramento, in relazione ai rischi rilevanti per il territorio stesso. Ogni CHeLab è allestito con una dotazione strumentale opportuna, messa a disposizione degli users: un numero di strumenti/tecnologie, dotazione ordinaria del sito, usati per monitoraggi continui, per studi specifici per quel sito, e per progetti proposti dagli users. Una e-infrastructure sostiene il sistema di informatizzazione, gli strumenti di gestione della rete e le applicazioni per condivisione di dati, metodologie e servizi per gli users. Questo modello di infrastruttura potrà integrarsi con il nodo Italiano di IPERION CH e i suoi nodi nazionali, e interagire con DARIAH ERIC e il suo nodo nazionale. Elementi distintivi del CHeLabS sono l'accesso open, la scalabilità (su base regionale, nazionale, transnazionale), l'armonizzazione (delle pratiche tecniche e gestionali), l'attitudine allo sharing (equipment sharing, data sharing, knowledge sharing).

In the paper we describe a new EU infrastructure project dedicated to lexicography. The project is part of the Horizon 2020 program, with a duration of four years (2018-2022). The result of the project will be an infrastructure which will (1) enable efficient access to high quality lexicographic data, and (2) bridge the gap between more advanced and less-resourced scholarly communities working on lexicographic resources. One of the main issues addressed by the project is the fact that current lexicographic resources have different levels of (incompatible) structuring, and are not equally suitable for application in in Natural Language Processing and other fields. The project will therefore develop strategies, tools and standards for extracting, structuring and linking lexicographic resources to enable their inclusion in Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web, as well as their use in the context of digital humanities.

MIRABILE è il risultato dei processi di analisi e integrazione delle informazioni confluite nei data-base costituiti dalle singole ricerche condotte dalla SISMEL, dalla FEF e da altre istituzioni che hanno portato il loro contributo di analisi e di dati. Obiettivo di MIRABILE è fornire agli utenti della rete uno strumento informatico unitario, aperto e in costante evoluzione (sia dal punto di vista dei contenuti sia da quello tecnologico) per lo studio e la ricerca sugli autori medievali, i testi manoscritti e la loro tradizione. Si può effettuare la ricerca integrata su numerosi repertori specializzati tra cui il MEL «Medioevo latino. Bollettino bibliografico della cultura europea da Boezio a Erasmo - secoli VI-XV».

The Visual Media Service provides easy publication and presentation on the web of complex visual media assets (3D, RTI, High Resolution 2D Images). It is an automatic service that allows to upload visual media files on an server and to transform them into an efficient web format, making them ready for web-based visualization. The Visual Media Service is an end-to-end solution able to support the entire publishing process, from data uploading to presentation customization. The service provides a very easy interface (a simple web form) that allows the user to upload the visual media file; the data is then transformed in a web-compliant format, supporting multi-resolution encoding, compression, and progressive transmission. At the end of the data-processing phase the user receives an email containing the URL of the published asset. Through this URL the user can access a web-based presentation that enables content creators, but also end users, to interactively explore the published media. Finally, the Visual Media Service provides a full set of interactive tools for customizing the resulting web-based presentation.

3D Heritage Online Presenter (3DHOP) is a framework for the creation of advanced web-based visual presentations of high-resolution 3D content. 3DHOP has been designed to cope with the specific needs of the Cultural Heritage (CH) field. By using multiresolution encoding, it is able to efficiently stream high-resolution 3D models (such as the sampled models usually employed in CH applications); it provides a series of ready-to-use templates and examples tailored for the presentation of CH artifacts; it interconnects the 3D visualization with the rest of the webpage DOM, making it possible to create integrated presentations schemes (3D + multimedia). Thanks to its modular nature and a declarative-like setup, it is easy to learn, configure, and customize at different levels, depending on the programming skills of the user. This allows people with different background to always obtain the required power and flexibility from the framework. 3DHOP is written in JavaScript and it is based on the SpiderGL library, which employs the WebGL subset of HTML5, implementing plugin-free 3D rendering on many web browsers.

MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes. The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes. The system is heavily based on the VCG library developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI - CNR, for all the core mesh processing tasks and it is available for Windows, MacOSX, and Linux.
