FOSSR D7.2E - Call for tenders for ISTI hardware devices
Assante M., Pagano P., Piccioli T., Versienti L.
The purpose of this document is to outline the hardware purchasing decisions made for the Pisa data centre. By conducting thorough market research, we have identified the most suitable hardware resources and determined the optimal methods for procurement that align with our requirements. After careful analysis, we have decided to adopt a dual purchasing approach. A portion of the hardware will be acquired through a CONSIP agreement, while the remaining portion (GPUs Server) will be obtained through a competitive bidding process.Source: ISTI Project report, FOSSR, D7.2E, 2023

Towards a Semantic Network of Dante's Works and Their Contextual Knowledge
Tavoni M., Andriani P., Bartalesi Lenzi V., Locuratolo E., Meghini C., Versienti L.
In the field of digital humanities, scholars are increasingly producing digital editions of texts and manuscripts. The representation of knowledge included in literary texts is a complex issue, requiring rich vocabularies, also called ontologies, for representing the many different aspects that are investigated by scholars. In literature, there are many ontologies that focus on different aspects of textual information but one single ontology representing all these aspects does not exist. The "Towards a Digital Dante Encyclopedia" project is a three years Italian National Research Project, started in 2012, that aims at building a prototypical digital library endowed with services supporting scholars in creating, evolving and consulting a digital encyclopedia of Dante Alighieri and of his works. The digital library is based on a semantic representation of Dante's works and of the knowledge embedded in them in RDF language 1 , a language recommended by the Web Consortium for the representation of knowledge. In RDF, every piece of knowledge is represented as a triple (subject predicate object), and a set of triples form an RDF graph, generally called semantic network, in order to highlight the formal linguistic nature of the representation. The services being developed address several tasks carried out by the scholars building the encyclopedia, starting with the visualization of references to primary sources (i.e., other authors' works which Dante referred to his own works), their types and their distribution both in time and in the works of Dante. The overall goal is to shed light into the cultural context in which Dante wrote his works and into the development of Dante's reference library over time. This part of the project is divided in several phases. The first phase regards the creation of an ontology for the knowledge embedded in scholarly commentaries to Convivio 2 , the philosophical treatise which we choose as an initial case study. In the second phase, the ontological model is generalized to represent the knowledge embedded in the scholarly commentaries to other Dante's works. In the third phase, Dante's works along with their attached commentaries are inserted into the digital library, as part of the semantic network being built. In the fourth phase, the primary sources referenced by Dante in his works, as reported by the commentaries, are inserted into the digital library, following the same semantic approach. In the last phase, services are developed, as web applications that allow scholars to browse the semantic network of Dante's work, of primary sources, or of references linking the former to the latter. The references will be visualized in an intuitive way through tables and charts, highlighting their distribution in Dante's work and over time. We present the structure of the semantic network, as it currently stands and indicate how it will be further developed. Furthermore, we highlight the benefits brought by the visualization service of primary sources to scholars.Source: Digital Humanities 2014, pp. 378–379, Lausanne, Switzerland, 8/7/2014 - 12/7/2014

A Preliminary Study on the Semantic Representation of the notes to Dante Alighieri's Convivio
Bartalesi Lenzi V., Locuratolo E. I., Meghini C., Versienti L.
We present a study on the semantic representation of the knowledge embedded in the notes to Convivio, a philosophical essay composed by Dante Alighieri. The notes were produced by an Italian scholar in structured text format. First, we analyzed the content of the document annotated by the scholar and on this basis we created an underlying high-level UML model that plays the role of an initial conceptualization. In the second step, we tried to identify terms belonging to vocabularies used in the Digital Libraries domain, which could be used for specifying the UML conceptualization. To this end, we investigated several existing ontologies, and we chose the terms that we considered useful to represent our knowledge. In order to describe all the knowledge embedded in the notes, we added classes and properties. Finally, we built a RDF graph that represents the semantics of the notes.Source: DH-CASE 2013 - 1st International Workshop on Collaborative Annotations in Shared Environment: metadata, vocabularies and techniques in the Digital Humanities (co-located with DocEng 2013), Florence, 10 September 2013
