The training and update events on the state of research continue ITSERR – Italian Strengthening of the ESFRI RI RESILIENCEPNRR project involving the Departments of Culture and Society, Law, Mathematics and Computer Science, Engineering and Architecture of theUniversity of Palermo and which aims to strengthen RESILIENCEthe European research infrastructure for religious sciences, supporting scientific excellence in the fields of Religious Sciences and ICT.
At the meeting, hosted in the headquarters of the Department of Education and Human Sciences of theUniversity of Modena and Reggio Emilia, over fifty people participated, including professors, researchers, PhD students and technologists from the project partners – CNR, University of Palermo, University of Turin, University of Naples L’Orientale, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
During the event Prof. Sonia Bergamaschi addressed the concept of semantic annotation, with reference to the MOMIS data integration system, and Daniele Metilli, Research Fellow at UCL, illustrated concepts and theories related to semantic analysis. The lectures were accompanied by a workshop on the WebLicht tool, realized in collaboration with the CLARIN-IT research infrastructure.
The project, strongly interdisciplinary, sees a fruitful collaboration between humanists – linguists, historians, exegetes, philologists, experts in minority languages, scholars of Christianity, Islam and Judaism – and computer engineers. The idea behind ITSERR is to identify technologically advanced solutions for the study of the sources and data of Religious Sciences, developing services and tools that are maintained, proposed and made accessible to the research community through the RESILIENCE research infrastructure.
“This is a unique investment in the field of Digital Humanities applied to Religious Studies – underlined the prof. Fabrizio D’AveniaPI of the project for UniPa – from which we expect innovative and highly impactful results for the advancement of research, a fundamental premise for the inclusion of our University as a hub of the European Research Infrastructure RESILIENCE”.
