The InscriptiFact Collection is designed to allow access via the Internet to high-resolution images of ancient inscriptions and artifacts, primarily from the Near Eastern and Mediterranean Worlds. The targeted inscriptions constitute some of the world’s earliest written records, which are mostly housed in a number of international museums and libraries, as well as field projects where inscriptions still remain in situ. Included, for example, are, selected Dead Sea Scrolls; cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia, Persia, Canaan and Egypt; early Jewish papyri from Egypt; lapidary inscriptions, primarily from Jordan, Lebanon and Cyprus; inscriptions on a variety of hard media (e.g., ostraca, copper, semi-precious stones, jar handles) mostly written in early Canaanite, Phoenician, Hebrew, Aramaic, Ammonite and Edomite; and much more. These ancient texts are foundational documents that serve as a point of reference for Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the cultures out of which they emerged.
The name "InscriptiFact" is intended to convey the concept of a scholarly archive based on "facts" about "inscriptions" and "artifacts." West Semitic Research Project (WSRP) under the auspices of the University of Southern California (USC) is broadly acknowledged as a leader in the application of photographic and digital technologies to capture and analyze data of ancient texts. The West Semitic Research image archive now contains approximately 1,500,000 images.
Digitisation of the Index of Masonry Quality (IQM, Indice di Qualità Muraria) process, to be applied to Autodesk Revit software. Developed with Grasshopper, integrated into Rhinoceros 7; Revit addon Rhino.Inside.Revit allows Rhino 7 to be loaded into the memory of Revit.
The process is based on three Grasshopper files, to be loaded in Revit via Rhino.Inside.Revit.
Dataset di indagini italiane ed estere svolte in regime di concessione e esposte nel portale D4GNA. D4GNA raccoglie dati destinati a confluire nell’infrastruttura digitale Geoportale Nazionale per l’Archeologia (GNA), punto unico di accesso alle indagini archeologiche condotte sul territorio nazionale sotto l’egida del Ministero della Cultura
Project’s i-MareCulture scope is to raise public awareness of European identity by focusing in maritime cultural heritage, which by default bridges different civilizations. In particular, i-MareCulture aims in bringing inherently unreachable underwater cultural heritage within digital reach of the wide public by implementing virtual visits, serious games with immersive technologies and underwater augmented reality. Scope of the project is to design, analyze, develop and validate pioneer applications and systems in the context of Virtual Museums through collaborative and innovative research from a diverse group of scientists, researchers, archaeologists, experts and museums.
The project i-MareCulture is unique, innovative and promising, contributing fully to the H2020 Framework and the Digital Agenda for Europe, a H2020 initiative, for New Skills and Jobs. In addition, this project abides by the EU’s strategy to become a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy by implementing the knowledge triangle by connecting the Education, Research and Industry by supporting and boosting innovative enterprise to develop their technological breakthroughs into viable products in the area of Virtual Museums and Digital Heritage, with real commercial potential.
Nel settembre del 2011 sono state condotte delle indagini diagnostiche non-invasive su sei manoscritti miniati dei secoli XIII e XIV, custoditi presso la Biblioteca comunale Augusta di Perugia. I manoscritti oggetto di studio sono: i corali 2790, 2792, 2795, il messale A47 e due esemplari della Divina Commedie, segnati rispettivamente L70 e B25.
Le analisi scientifiche sui codici sono state eseguite dal Centro di Eccellenza SMAArt dell’Università di Perugia e dall’Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie Molecolari del CNR. Le tecniche utilizzate sono state funzionali alla: caratterizzazione dei materiali costitutivi; individuazione delle tecniche di esecuzione; valutazione dello stato di conservazione. A questo fine sono state sono state impiegate tecniche di imaging (fotografia visibile, riflettografia infrarossa, imaging di fluorescenza e di infrarosso in falso colore) e tecniche spettroscopiche puntuali e non invasive (fluorescenza a raggi X, spettroscopia infrarossa, spettroscopia UV-Vis in assorbimento ed in emissione, diffrazione a raggi X).
